Yup. I pushed forward the scheduled September 20th workshop two weeks. The next workshop will be October 4th at 1:00pm PDT.

The reason for the delay? Very busy with several projects. One in particular will be of interest to woodworking.digital followers. I’ve designed a new kind of workbench with a focus on woodworkers more likely to use newer tools such as Festool Dominos, track saws and even small CNCs. The workbench and all the details will appear in an early 2021 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. In the October workshop, I’ll show some of the process involved in the four year development of the project, the thinking behind it and a quick peek at the new bench. Let’s just say that it’s a very different workbench.

And, if timing is right — meaning it’s been installed at the client’s home before revealing it publicly, I’ll show a commissioned 3D sculpture project collaboration with artist, and siginicant other, Leslie Newman for the last several months .

At the August 16th Live Sunday Workshop I gave a presentation dedicated to ways for woodworkers to learn to become better designers. 

I’ve posted the video recording of the workshop on my YouTube channel. Here’s the link if you missed it.. https://youtu.be/kAAFHM8Rhmw

Topic: Design Skills for Woodworkers

On Sunday June 21st, I held a Live Sunday Workshop via Zoom. The topic was about how to design a modern hall table in CAD and setup your CNC to machine it. I showed how to convert the 2D furniture from the previous workshop into 3D carved furniture. Lots to see! Speaking of which, here’s a link to the recording on my YouTube Channel…

Digital Woodworking Q and A

On Sunday May 31st I held a Live Sunday Workshop via Zoom. The topic was an open Q & A. After receiving and answering a number of questions on the topic of Digital Woodworking before the event I turned to take live questions. Lots of stuff to see! Speaking of which, here’s a link to the recording on my YouTube Channel… youtube.com/digitalwoodworking.

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” *

First, thanks to everyone who attended our first three Sunday Workshops. I was planning on sending out an annoucement today, but unfortunately, an urgent family matter must take precedent.  The May 3rd live workshop is postponed for two weeks.

Therefore, the next workshop will be on May 17, 2020 at 1 pm PDT. I hope to see you then.

The date topic will be…

Digital Woodworking Tips and Tricks

For many years I’ve been developing  and collecting various ideas, tips and techniques on how to work better, smarter,  more efficiently and new  ways to improve workflow using Digital Woodworking tools. The result is my personal collection of tips and tricks. I’m a bit obsessive about such things, so be prepared. It’s a big list. One even involves paper. Stay tuned!

Later in the workshop, I’ll open up for questions for the remainder of the 45-minute event.
