2014 Teaching Dates

Anyone who knows me well knows how much I hate flying. Unfortunately, that’s in direct conflict with the fact that I love teaching! As a result, some years are “travel years” and some years are “hide in my shop like a hermit” years. This is a travel year.

Weekend with WOOD – 5/16 – 5/18 (Des Moines, Iowa)

This is a small weekend conference being hosted by the folks at WOOD Magazine. I’ll be teaching a few seminars on finishing, with a focus on hand-applied oil-based finishes. I have already heard from folks who are attending and I can’t wait to meet you. From what I see, the weekend is already sold out but you can put yourself on a waiting list if you’re really interested. Check it out!

William Ng School – 6/2 – 6/6 (Anaheim, CA)

It seems like I take two trips to William’s shop every year: once to learn and once to teach. This June I’ll be taking students on a journey through the construction of the G&G Inspired Blanket Chest, recently featured in Popular Woodworking Magazine and demonstrated in the Wood Whisperer Guild.

Center for Furniture Craftsmanship – 9/1 – 9/5 (Rockport, ME)

This class is definitely going to be an interesting one! A class dedicated solely to making videos about your woodworking. Whether for profit or for fun, I’ll show you the tips and tricks I use to create each episode of The Wood Whisperer. By no means am I an expert in the field of videography but I have been making a living with my video content since 2006. So like anything I do, my hope is to share my experience with you so that you’ll be able to reach your goals too. Sign up today!

If you think you’ll be attending any of these events, let me know in the comments below. I’d love to meet some readers/viewers from the online woodworking community!

*note* Whenever I post a schedule, I inevitably get questions about when I’m coming to a particular city or region. I always find it funny picturing myself as a one-man rock band that can simply cherry-pick cities and venues. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. In order to go anywhere, I need to be invited by a particular school or organization. So if you’re interested in me coming to your city, you need to contact your local resources and let them know. Sadly, I often have to turn these offers down because I can’t afford the time away from the shop and my schedule gets booked up quickly, but it never hurts to try.
