Philadelphia Furniture Workshop

Mario Rodrigues and Alan Turner are wonderful instructors. With a class size of around 10 (teacher:student of 5:1!!) they make a point to work with students at a brisk but not uncomfortable pace. A range of topics are offered that appeal to beginners and to the very advanced (master classes). I prefer the technique classes rather than those revolve around a complete project, but that is just my preference. The shop is just awesome! Both equipped to the gills, but in a way that I have been able to inform my own shop decisions about layout and equipment.
