About
Something about Woodworking got your attention? Same... as long as I can remember. At 30, I decided no other living would do for me.
Now, with nearly 4 decades in the craft, second only to the joy of making things with wood, is passing it on to others.
The world of woodworking has been good to me. I have credentials, but I prefer we to talk about your gift to create, to tell your story with your hands. Hence the name, Epic Woodworking.
It’s a virtual apprenticeship, we make things, and up our skills with each project. Watch here on YouTube*, indulge in a Course/Class, or Move into The Neighborwood. Whatever works for you!
More at epicwoodworking.com.
Meet you there,
Tom McLaughlin
