Hi, I'm Scotty Horsburgh. Welcome to my website dedicated to the making of fine furniture.
Designing and making fine furniture is challenging and rewarding. The results achieved are amazing. When I learned to make fine furniture I was heartened by the fact that the results you can achieve by your hands far surpass the results you obtain by using machinery alone. In fact the difference is night and day. I was also heartened by the fact that it isn't rocket science. Good hands, eyes, half a brain and some patience and you're on your way.
This beautiful art seems to me to be making some sort of a renaissance. People become addicted to working the wood by hand and challenging themselves to achieve greater results. Once you've seen, touched and used a piece of fine furniture there's no turning back. The mass produced stuff just doesn't compete.
The feel and action of piston fit drawers. Doors that fit snuggly and never bind. Lines that are true. Joinery that is precise and individual. Wood that has been carefully hand planed with a razor sharp blade. All of the personal touches and details that let people know this is a hand made piece.
If you are at all interested in the designing and making of fine furniture then join my website. Every fortnight I will be sending out a free ezine/newsletter to all of my Subscribers detailing the job I am doing in both words and pictures. Your feedback would be most welcome as I know there are many ways to achieve a result. You may learn something from me and I will learn something from you. C'mon I've just invested in a brand new Canon 400D digital camera. Give me somewhere to send the beautiful photos I will be taking.
Don't hesitate, just do it. Join my website and get access to the following:
* Free access to an archive of fortnightly ezines in both words and pictures detailing the making process in depth.
* The ability to ask questions or raise queries and to have them answered promptly.
* Immediately notified when first dvd is complete.
Don't procrastinate, just do it.
