My aim is to make your woodworking less s***. I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this YouTube thing off the ground. By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on YouTube and my business full-time. Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time?
