My passion for wood working and building things started as a kid working side by side with my father in his workshop. The scope of my projects have continued to evolve with age from model toys to tree houses to furniture and now to home improvement remodeling. Myskillit workshops present a fun opportunity to teach what I have learned wood working over the years to beginners interested in crafting their own homemade wood projects.
