Wood and Shop Traditional Woodworking School

"A great class. Joshua is very approachable with questions. Makes learning practical skills fun. Joshua, connects with all class members no matter their skill level. Highly recommend!"

"I took the "Introduction to Hand Tool Woodworking" class. It was wonderful. Joshua is an excellent instructor and is skilled at working with students of varying degrees of experience. He teaches with patience and an abundance of good humor."

"Joshua is immensely knowledgable of his subjects. His style of teaching puts one at ease, and makes learning from him a pleasure. Even if I feel I already know the subject, I watch anyway because his detail most always provides me with something new. I always look forward to the next E-mail. Excellent job Joshua!"

"I'm fortunate to live nearby and was surprised and delighted to have discovered the school. I've taken 3 classes there. Joshua is friendly, engaging, and highly knowledgeable. The shop is impressive and very well equipped. The instructors are skilled, highly experienced and, fortunately for me, patient. I will probably add additional classes in the future."

"I would give this place more stars if I could. I enjoyed watching Joshua's videos for months (years?) and learned so much, and then was so happy when he was able to open his own school not too far away from me, and I got to take a class, the 3-day introduction class. It was amazing. He is such a good, clear, and patient teacher and the class had a perfect blend of instruction time and then time to apply the teaching ourselves, great class size, easy location. I recommend his classes and videos even for conventional/power tool woodworkers because there are situations where a hand tool is actually better."
