The Foundational Joinery Class I took in January was the one of the first to use the HD screen, which was a great help.
I have been a woodworker, cabinetmaker, and woodcarver for many years, but Frank taught me what amazing and rewarding things you can do using only hand tools.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 days of hands-on woodworking. I would highly recommend this class to beginners or professionals.
P.S. Frank, I look forward to attending another class in the near future.

Comment on Finishing With Danish Oil by Frank Strazza

Hi Jen,

I have found that the Danish oil does not do as well on outdoor furnishings. It can be used on wood floors and it will certainly bring the color and beauty out of the jarrah wood, but it will not work as a long-term finish for outdoors. On the other hand, if the deck is inside away from the elements, it should work just fine. If the deck is exposed to the elements you could put the oil on to bring out the color of the wood and then come back with a top coat floor sealer to protect the wood from the elements. On a side note Deft does have an exterior Danish oil. I will say that I am not particulary fond of that product.
I hope this helps. Thanks for reading and for the comment!

Hello, I’m from Australia. Is Danish oil alright to use on a jarrah deck? The wood is raw and unseasoned. I want a natural oil that doesn’t turn the wood a yellow colour. I want the natural beautiful jarrah colour to stand out. Thanks.

Hi Mark,

The font is called Roman Stonecut. It works great for chipcarving. I just print it out in Word and then use graphite paper to transfer the letters.

Was just curious what the name of the font you put on the workbench is called, it fits the benches style perfectly!

This is extremely cool — the image is sharp and, importantly, quite large. So the detail of what you’re doing comes through for everyone, even someone whose stool is off an an angle or in the back. I’m so glad I got to see a demo last week and I’m excited about how it will help me understand techniques more clearly at the next class I take. Mr. Marx’s generosity is going to help quite a few people.

Frank,

What a great addition. I find the students may learn as much, or more, when they see the master work through an iffy situation. Just so many learning opportunities. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Best as always,

Lee
