Hi everyone, this is Mark here. I know it’s been a while since we’ve done anything on this blog, and I am realizing there’s no better time than right now to start adding some things. Hopefully, this finds you all practicing your woodworking skills with fresh sharp tools? In case you need a class in […]
I wanted to update everyone on our Roubo Workbench class. We all survived if you’re wondering why it’s taken so long to hear about it. I will say that it was fairly intense for all 10 days, but the students did leave the classroom with finished benches by 5 pm on Thursday. Please remember that […]

Hello from the Heritage School of Woodworking!! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Here at the shop, I find time has left us behind again, but that’s become a common feeling.

Also you have the opportunity […]

This week we have 7 people each building their own rocking chair! So we are starting with this (a stack of wood). And hopefully by the end of the week, each student will have this (a finished rocking chair). We’ve cut the mortise and tenons, arch on the front rail, tenons for the arm posts […]
Well as promised we have posted a new Roubo workbench class! It is scheduled to start October 16th 2017. It will be a 10 day class and cost $3,850 including all the hardware. I am still working on developing the Windsor chair class, and also hoping to have some shorter classes available very soon on handy […]
I just wanted to let everyone know we had quite a number of people interested in the roubo workbench class. So I am trying to have the class planned and scheduled before the end of this month. Jonathan
Over the last two years and especially the last couple months we’ve gotten multiple request to offer a roubo workbench class. So I’m putting the line out to see how much interest we really have in a new class, before investing all the time and effort into developing and scheduling the class. I’m thinking it […]
