Epic Woodworking

Epic Woodworking Surpass the Ordinary Tom shares his love for the craft through hands-on classes in his New Hampshire shop as well as through instructional videos posted online.

During his three-plus year apprenticeship with Master craftsman Preston "Pug" Moore of North Carolina, nearly 30 years ago, Tom McLaughlin experienced something he is now passing on to others who have an interest in woodworking. In addition, he has the privilege of hosting Rough Cut with Fine Woodworking on PBS. Check your local listing for when the show airs in your community. For more informatio

SHOP NIGHT LIVE TONIGHT! - The French curve cabinet scraper can be so helpful to quickly clean up coves of all shapes and sizes. Sharpening a standard cabinet scraper can be difficult enough but the French curve style brings its own challenges. Tonight I show you the simple step by step approach for sharpening this unusually shaped and effective tool. And we will have a live studio audience in the shop to add to the fun. Hope you can join us in the shop!

SHOP NIGHT LIVE TONIGHT! - Router secrets for cutting mind-bending Bridle Joints - I enjoy the challenge of laying out complex joinery and cutting by hand. But sometimes a power tool like the router can expand your efficiency and accuracy, especially when tackling complicated joinery…like cutting a bridle joint into a curved rail. Tonight I’ll show you a surprisingly simple technique for “un-bending your mind” and using a router in new and creative ways. We’ll cut and fit a bridle joint into a curved rail in no time flat with no sweat…but maybe a little mind-bending. Hope you can join me in the shop!
