So, about those Cabriole legs...

"I teach my own workshop titled "The Magic of the Drill Press" that has been quite a success story for me. This is because I teach techniques and tips for using the drill press that you can use for numerous projects back home, not a sub-set for a specific piece of furniture. Students learn the real magic of using a drill press for shaping miniature furniture. They are totally amazed at the end of the day!"

Teaching others may be a result of his own learning experience.

"I have taken several workshops at the International Guild of Miniature Artists (IGMA) Guild School. Those were the best workshop experiences I ever experienced - but quite expensive. I did, however, meet some very talented instructors and new friends there that also made it worth the trips."

Tom credits two instructors in particular, Julian Biggers and Jack Blackham, who are both IGMA Fellows.
