Real Woodworking. Real Tools. Real Kids.

Goodbye Austin! Hello NEW YORK!

Thank you so much to our amazing supportive community in Austin. We’ve traded Mesquite, Pecan, and Live Oaks of Texas for the Maple, Pine, and Red Oak of New York. Looking forward sharing hand tool woodworking with a whole new community!

New item in the shop!
It was a pleasure to build and deliver this children’s workbench to @cityandcountry school today. I hope it gets a lot of use! #woodworking #kidswoodworking #nyckids #workbench #montessori #waldorf #nykids #handtools

New item in the shop! The “Double Wide”. Perfect for schools. 4 vises to accommodate 4 students simultaneously. This is a traditional English woodworking bench for kids inspired by a Paul Sellers design. Link in bio. #woodworking #kids
I grew up on Dogwood Drive and attended Dogwood Elementary, yet could not identify a Dogwood Tree! Lo and behold a young Dogwood sits right under my nose at my parents house! So many interesting trees in NY, does anyone have any other good resource
It’s with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to my community in Austin. Our family is excited to start a new chapter in New York, and will carry with us all the love and support from our @athenamontessoriacademyatx and @kinderwoodatx communities

Our Montessori schools have a tradition of walking through gates to symbolize a transition into a new journey. Since we couldn’t be at school with our normal gates I took the opportunity to teach my lovely wife some mortise and tenon joinery in
My students worked hard this year, so I worked hard this holiday weekend to finish up their work to return it to them this week! #kidswoodworking #handtools#atxkids#montessori

“It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look.” -Thoreau. Inspirin
