For those of you in the area who are interested in learning the basics of working with hand tools, I offer both group classes through a local community education program, and private instruction at your location.
I'm not nearly the level of the other instructors here. However, I can help prepare you for their classes, so you can focus on their advanced instruction, not the basics of getting your hand tools going. Where they are the Olympic coaches, I'm the high school coach to get you started.
If you've been a follower of this forum wishing you had the skills to take the specialized classes listed here, this is for you. I bring everything, you need nothing other than a willingness to try new things, make a few mistakes, and learn.
