Every piece of wood is as exciting as the first. You will never know exactly what you might find. Phil has been working with wood in one form or another for over 40 years. This woodworking includes things like framing houses, building fences, creating furniture and making cabinets. The woodturning bug started when he was gifted a wood lathe, and he has never looked back. Phil has been teaching and mentoring other woodturners for many years in his studio, at demonstrations, and at his local Makerspace.Class PoliciesWe're excited to have you join us for a class or workshop at HatchSpace!
