Learn Something New!

I now teach classes at Earth and Tree Miniatures in Amherst, NH.  My first class was June 8, on building the very same pie hutch for sale on my website.  It was a terrific success, and I can't wait 'till my next class!

Thank you very much to the wonderful students, who agreed to be my guinea pigs!

You can learn more about my upcoming class schedule by emailing me, checking this blog for updates, or visiting www.earthandtree.com, for their complete class schedule.  Full details should be available within a week or two!

I've already had a request for some medieval, and Tudor, furniture; let me know if there's anything you want to either build in class, or see available as a kit.  I'm always open to suggestions!

Kits Are Coming!

I'm premiering a line of kits soon, which are going to be available here and, hopefully, at a store near you as well!  

I've had several requests, over the past month, for classes to teach paneling techniques.  What I realized is, while I was thrilled about the enthusiasm, a class just wouldn't be possible.  There's no practical way to teach half a dozen or more people how to use a table saw.  Even apart from my fear of something going horribly wrong and someone losing a finger, it's hard, in a situation like that, to give everyone the attention they deserve.  Moreover, the really challenging aspect of paneling is the measurements.  A lot of math goes in to each one of my designs, and math isn't everyone's idea of a good time.

This line of kits solves both problems.  All of the pieces come pre-cut, so there's no worry about cutting or measuring.  Step by step illustrated instructions make assembly a breeze, and the best part is, you can finish the paneling however you choose.  Each kit contains enough material to make 12" of paneling, so three kits are sufficient to complete a standard size room.  I'm really excited about it!
