I am constantly fascinated by the historical methods of furniture construction, the unsurpassed beautiful lines of pre-industrial furniture and the tools that were used.
I love designing, building and teaching. I believe that I am a good student of the craft and the more I learn, the more I realise just how little I know! For me, it is a constant process of challenging myself. I always use traditional joinery methods, proportioning methods and hand tools wherever I can.
The next craftsman in The Woodworker Sessions Series of Q & A Interviews is Anthony Berry of Cape Town. He has become a good friend, an up and coming luthier and he is starting to create some truly beautiful musical instruments.
Anthony has a wonderfully lateral and sensible approach to his craft and is slowly kitting his workshop out with very high quality, very specific hand tools and machines.
