I'm Jim Vander Schaaf and I’m here to help you have fun and achieve satisfaction with woodworking thru a variety of projects, educational materials and how to videos. I am a local Maine wood artisan, furniture builder, educator and author. I’m here to help you succeed, not show off my work. I promise to provide the best advice I can, or, if I don't know the answer, refer you to others who know.

I would enjoy answering questions and discussing topics. Please comment on the various videos. I respond to every comment.

My published book, An Adventure in the Art of Woodworking, is available on Amazon. It is a full color guide for beginning (and more advanced) woodworkers who wish to have fun while rapidly increasing their skills. Sketch Up 3D models are also provided.

You can find my book on Amazon by clicking on the link below, or on the Amazon link above.

Please subscribe now, ring the bell and start your adventure. I am here to serve you.
