Nachmu Woodworking Cabinetmaking and Woodworking with hand tools. Using Facebook to share my ideas in the world of cabinetmaking and woodworking.

I use a combination of hand tools and power tools to find the soul of wood for use as functional pieces in the household. James Krenov has become my primary influence, but I lean heavily on American Arts and Crafts and Charles Rennie Mackintosh for design ideas.
