I use a mix of hand and power tools when building my designs. I am always learning new techniques, from traditional joinery to designing for CNC machines.My favorite tools are my Robland X31 combination machine, and Stanley No.4 smooth plane. I find myself going to each of these tools nearly every day.
I also have an array of tools and supplies for finishing, an all-important, often overlooked part of the woodworker's repertoire. I have experience with dozens of different finishing processes, to make sure every piece looks its best.
My customers like the fact that I have some production-size tools to help complete their commissions fairly quickly, and the techniques and hand tools to deliver clean, professional results.
