Rob’s online workshops are a woodworking learning experience different from all others. In our workshops you watch Rob build a project through all the phases: design, lumber selection and preparation, joinery creation, final assembly, and finishing. Unique to our system is that each video segment is unscripted, unedited, and filmed in real time – mistakes and all. You learn by watching and listening to Rob as he progresses through a project. Each build is filmed in 45 minutes segments, watching Rob tackle just one or two tasks per episode. This allows you to digest, understand, and learn each task in detail and when Rob makes a mistake you get to see how he recovers from that mistake. Yes, this means that one project can take many videos to complete, but you get everything from start to finish; nothing is glossed over or left out.

When we started Rob’s Online Workshops, we began with two workshops: the Power-Tool Workshop and the Hand-Tool Workshop. Each one only using the tools related to its title, and we filmed one episode every day, five times a week. After a lot of feedback from customers and because our growing business gave us less time to film, we finally decided to combine these two workshops into one we now call “The Online Workshop.” This current workshop uses both power and hand-tools, whichever Rob thinks is best for the task at hand. We also cut back our filming to three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday).

Today we offer three membership plans as listed below. The Online Workshop is the current and ongoing project episodes; the Hand-Tool Workshop Archive is all the projects Rob built over the last eight years using only hand-tools; and the All-in-One is a membership giving you access to both workshops. See the details for each below and choose the membership level best fits your interests.
