Before he jumped into the world of woodworking, he served in the
Royal Canadian Army for 14 years in the Royal Canadian Horse
Artillery. After leaving the RCA on a honorable discharge, he
studied furniture design/making at Rosewood Studio and learned from
some of the best in the business, including Garrett Hack and Chris
Schwarz. After finishing up his studies, Vic owned his own studio
while working part-time at Rosewood as an instructor and craftsman
in residence before eventually becoming an editor at Canadian
Woodworking magazine.
Vic now has what might be one of the coolest jobs in woodworking:
he serves as Technical Advisor at Lee Valley Tools. He also builds
what he wants, when he wants in his minimalist workshop. Learn more
about Vic and check out his blog, latest projects, and other cool
stuff at the Minimalist Woodworker
