New weeklong Summer classes with top instructors from around the country will be at CT Valley School of Woodworking

Some of you know me from my articles in Fine Woodworking.  I am the owner of CT Valley Schoo of Woodworking and I just released my weeklong summer course schedule and I wanted to share with you.  We fill up quickly from folks all over the country, so if you have any interest or questions, please contact me at the links below and tell me that you read this post.  Thanks and I hope to see you at one of our classes.

Greetings!

 

What are you up to this summer? Take a week for yourself and get away from it all!

The week-long classes coming up this summer are some of the best I have ever put together.

Nationally known instructors like Will Neptune, Glenn Huey, Kevin Rodel, Mickey Callahan and more (plus yours truly of course...).

 

Mike Pekovich will be doing the Shaker Chimney Cupboard that is currently being featured on finewoodworking.com and Darrell Peart will be teaching his Greene & Greene style blanket chest that is in the new Taunton Press Blanket Chest book.
