Coaching

Have a problem you can't figure out? Confused by watching too much YouTube? Just want a straight answer? Would you really like to just, "Ask an Expert"?

There are great advantages to attending a formal class in a well-equipped shop with several like-minded people. I highly recommend the experience, but sometimes, they aren't what is needed. Have you ever...

• taken a class only to realize it didn't cover what you really want to learn?
• been in a class hopelessly large-you never get to talk?
• wondered if you really need a 5-day class, 100 miles away that cost $875?

Advantages of Coaching

Ask me questions! Call me up, ask away. Sometimes you just have a few questions you would like a quick answer. Other times your need a long discussion about something that is not really covered in a class, like advice about setting your shop, should I purchase this tool or that one or my favorite, "I'm kinda getting started in woodworking, but not sure where to go from here...."

Area of Expertise

I have been woodworking for over 50 years and have spent a lot of money on books, magazines and tools. I have made many, many mistakes. I have unfinished projects, failed projects and a few, "well, THAT didn't end well!!!" projects.

And I have had a lot of successful projects. I'm blessed having worked professionlly for nearly 20 years in this industry. Here are a few things I'm really good at:

• Woodworking
• Furniture Making
• Furniture Repair
• Built-in Furniture
• General Home Repair
• Wood Canvas Canoe Restoration
• Canoe and Kayak Repair
• Wooden Boats

So How Does This Work?

• PHONE- Old fashioned but some of us still use it!
• ZOOM or SKYPE- Great when I need to see what you are working on to dynanosa problem
• EMAIL- Good for sharing photos and to answer simple questions (I don't type fast!)
• TEXT- Only good for real short answers
• IN MY SHOP- Great, when conditions allow
• IN YOUR SHOP- Great, when conditions allow

How Much?
