I offer one on one instruction in my own shop, which includes both power and hand tools.\u00a0 I teach a hybrid style of woodworking where the initial rough work is done with power tools and then refined by hand tools.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We can either work on a project you\u2019ve thought about, or started and need help with.\u00a0 I also have specific courses that teach a variety of skills that are a great base to launch from.\u00a0 These course costs will vary slightly depending on the woods you select.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feel free to contact me to discuss these or any ideas that you have.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I like so much about your teaching style is that you give a lot of why things work, which for me, makes ideas stick better and that we can extrapolate from.\u00a0 Thanks tons!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSteven Der-Garabedian clearly conveys proven techniques for creating high-quality items from wood using both traditional hand tools and modern shop equipment. Students of all skill levels will expand\u00a0their ability to tackle a wide variety of projects while learning from a genial and talented instructor. The fit and finish of his own furniture and cabinet work demonstrate advanced design and construction methods in addition to an exemplary grasp of the fundamentals of this craft. By readily sharing the lessons gleaned from his experience, he encourages students to develop the habits of care and attention to detail necessary to undertake tasks in a safe and efficient manner. Steve\u2019s classes receive top consideration when I\u2019m looking to\u00a0increase my woodworking competence.\u201d<\/p>\n

“I really appreciate Steve’s ability to take a complex task (like cutting dove tail joints or making a wood plane) and breaking the task into easily manageable steps that a novice is able to accomplish.\u00a0 The constant counter-intuitive reminders to “work slowly” help to turn wood working tasks into a meditation that a Jedi warrior would approve of.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had the pleasure of attending many of Steve Der-Garabedian\u2019s woodworking seminars over the past few years including: veneering, making a bow saw, making a wooden plane, making a portable work bench.\u00a0 I have thoroughly enjoyed all of these workshops.\u00a0 Steven is a very patient and knowledgeable instructor offering a lot of practical woodworking tips and general information.\u00a0 His demonstrated techniques, tool use and methods of work are easily picked up and valued by the novice or the more experienced woodworker as he provides step by step guidance and written notes on various projects.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I would recommend his seminars without reservation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou teach in a way that shows you know what you\u2019re doing, and by sharing practical, tested insights (the Carpenter\u2019s Triangle, for instance) you\u2019re giving those of us who are hungry to learn the bigger picture we need to do our best work.\u201d<\/p>\n
