About the Author

Simon James, lives and works in the foothills of Snowdonia National Park, in North Wales. He has a 'no nonsense', practical approach to woodworking, and working out of a small workshop, his reputation for quality workmanship grew to the point that he took on apprentices, instilling the need for genuine care and attention to detail in every project. Teaching and training became a passion, leading to an educational degree in Design and Technology, where he naturally specialized in woodwork. He then went on to teach woodworking in Romania for five years, before returning to Wales 10 years ago.
