I'm a self-taught woodworker from East Sussex, England, with a passion for unplugged woodworking. Mainly creating small character pieces of furniture, I also have a woodworking YouTube channel

"Dovetails - A Hand Tool Approach" is my debut woodworking book which will be available from all good book shops in December 2024. Dovetails is a deep dive into the hand tool preparation of dovetail joinery. These joints held much of the wooden world together in past centuries and machine cut ones still do today. There is still a place for traditional hand cut dovetails in low volume, high quality furniture production, and increasingly in the work of hobbyists woodwork. This book explains dovetailing tools and techniques, the preparation of twenty eight types of dovetail joints, and how to make a dovetailed heirloom watch and jewellery box.
