Here is a bit about me. I have worked in the woodworking industry for over 30 years and I have a trade qualification in Cabinetmaking and Furniture making.
I decided to start Woodwork Hubby to help you on your journey in this wonderful and rewarding hobby. My goal is to show you all the things I have learned along the way to make your time in the workshop more enjoyable.
The name “Woodwork Hubby” comes from my love of woodwork and my being a loving husband and father to my beautiful daughter. I guess I always loved to fix things around the home and make furniture whenever I could.
What Can You Expect On This Site
Unbiased truths about everything woodwork! I will only ever write about things that I have used or had some sort of experience with. This is usually my personal experience or that of my close peers who are also experienced in woodwork.
When recommending products – I will always focus on the things that I have tested and will get the job done the right way! I will not necessarily recommend the most expensive item but something that I know works and works well. These items always get high ratings and are not junk!
My Favourite saying: “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing!”

Other Things I Enjoy
When I’m not in the shop or spending time with my family, these are some of the things I love to do:
- Watch cricket – Probably my favorite sport
- Play 8 Ball and Snooker – In 2011 a friend and I attempted to break the Guinness Book Of Records for the longest consecutive games of 8 Ball without sleep. The old record stood at 52 hours and we managed 72 hours. Unfortunately, our record was broken only a few weeks later.
- Beer – There is nothing better than a nice cold beer on a Summer’s day!
- Christmas Lights – Every year we put up a Christmas light display where people can tune in and listen to the music. We also raise money for local charities at this time.
