Testimonials
I just attended the INTRO TO JOINERY and it was completely worth it! Wayne is a very knowledgeable and informative instructor. He laid out step by step lessons and a demonstration on the joints we made. We had instructions to reference if need be but also had him there sharing tips/techniques while working with hand tools. Any questions I had he was there to teach. I can’t wait to attend another class.

I just wanted to write you personally to thank you for the excellent class I received. I’ve read and watched a lot about woodworking with hand tools. There’s so much noise across magazines, books, blogs, youtube, etc, out there, its hard to know where to start sometimes. So it felt perfect having a place with the right setup, and the right teacher to just hone in on learning the basics. I really enjoyed your teaching style too. It was exactly what I was looking for and I really hope I can make more of your future classes. Thank you again for an amazing day. And thank your wife again for the delicious lunch!

I attended the fundamentals class just recently. I have been an electric woodworker for about 10 or so years. Wayne was kind enough to show me traditional joinery and techniques that you tube videos can not teach you; proper ways to hold a chisel and saw and posture to maximize your leverage and work the tools. I enjoyed this class. And even though it was a 6 hour drive from South Texas to attend, the experience was enough for me to want to continue with my education here and become a better rounded woodworker. I am looking forward to the next class and your wife’s spaghetti.

I attended a 7 day Intermediate class at Full Circle Woodworking. I found Wayne Miller to be an excellent teacher of hand tool woodworking. He did a great job explaining and demonstrating the various techniques required to build a project. He willingly answered questions and patiently worked through challenges presented by a novice woodworker. Wayne has a passion to teach others and that passion was evident throughout the class. I highly recommend Full Circle Woodworking.
Doug MacEachern – Covington, LA
I really couldn’t learn fine woodworking from YouTube, magazines, or reference books. But, a few days at Wayne’s facility clarified things for me. The Introduction to Joinery class provided enough hands=on time with the basic hand tools and timely tips from Wayne which enabled me to be conversant with the basics. Then I built a wall shelf with Wayne’s guidance. I strongly recommend the Introductory class followed by the practical application of those skills and with Wayne’s guidance. I look forward to applying what I learned to my next project!

This was the best class for me. I've been interested in working with hand tools, and with the flood of information out there it's hard to know where to start. Wayne was the best teacher, and he had the best setup. I took his Basic Joinery class and loved it. I highly recommend his class. I can't wait to go again!
