My Journey in Woodworking

I began my woodworking journey as a weekend hobbyist, building simple shelves and boxes. The satisfaction of transforming raw wood into useful objects captivated me. Over the years, I studied under various mentors, attended workshops, and read extensively. My passion grew until I decided to pursue it full-time. Today, I work from my own workshop, creating furniture and teaching others. I believe woodworking is a blend of skill, patience, and creativity. Each piece I make tells a story. My goal is to inspire others to appreciate this craft and to share the techniques that have shaped my path.

The Beginning

My journey with woodworking started in a small apartment, with a simple workbench and a few hand tools. I was fascinated by the idea of creating something tangible from a piece of lumber. My first projects were rough, but they sparked a curiosity that never faded.

The Transition to Full-Time

After years of honing my skills, I decided to leave my day job and dedicate myself fully to the craft. This transition was not without challenges, but the support of my family and the growing demand for handcrafted pieces gave me the confidence to move forward.

Sharing the Craft

Teaching became a natural extension of my practice. I started by hosting small workshops in my garden shed, and gradually moved to online tutorials. Seeing others discover the same joy I found inspires me to continue creating and educating.
