Consulting Services

I can help.

  • Big ideas

    You’ve always wanted to build an expandable dining room table. A kitchen corner is begging for a custom shelf. Perhaps you want to make a gift box, an art panel, a TV cabinet, a chair… or maybe a piece of furniture broke and you want to know how to fix it?

    You’ve got the tools and know how to use them, but you need some help visualizing the steps from dream to demonstration.

  • Real progress, from a distance

    I’ve been around the world of woodworking: cabinetry, set and prop making, art pieces - I’ve even taught professionally.

    I love helping people ask the right questions, to get their ides onto paper and then into reality

    I can help with:

    - General getting started advice: making best choice, choosing materials and techniques.

    - Project conception: getting from ideas and picture to drawings

    - Drawing assistance, such as converting existing plans to shopping and cut lists

    - Full plan sets: combining the previous steps so you provide the ideas and I provide all the drawings and documents you need to proceed

    - Recurring check-ins throughout a larger, complex project

  • How it works

    Once you select a time package in the store (20 minute, 1, 3, and 6 hour blocks), we’ll get started. Together, we’ll define what you know and what you need. I will do everything from answering basic questions to drawing your plans, depending on your desires.

    We will communicate mostly by email, so you can access my answers or links 24/7 , and because I can respond with thought and ease. With some arrangements, we can have a phone call, live text or video chat.

    Full blocks of time may be purchased as a gift for others, just let us know with your purchase!
