Among the woodworking charities Chris and I support, and to which we donate our time and teaching to every year, is The Chairmaker’s Toolbox (CMT). This organization, founded by Aspen Golann, works to remove barriers to learning by championing woodworking education for those who have been underserved in traditional woodworking shops – particularly in the disappearance of woodworking education in our schools.
Right now is the annual CMT fund drive. Your tax deductible monthly gift could help to sponsor scholarships for new makers and aspiring instructors, support meal and travel stipends for class assistants, covert postage and packing for donated tools and more! (And you’ll get a cool limited-edition sheet of stickers featuring chairs made in in 2025 classes.) Any amount helps! Or make a one-time donation by November 14 and get a nifty tote bag printed with a logo designed by Tahm Lytle.
