Safety Disclaimer

Woodworking like carving puppets is a wonderful and fulfilling endeavor. Through my courses I provide detailed instruction to the art of creating wooden puppets. It is important to mention that there are dangers and hazards associated with any woodworking project. You will be working with razor sharp knives and tools that can possibly cause severe injury. 

When you follow any of the classes in my online courses you do so at your own risk. 

Your worksite conditions and tools and skills will be different from mine, so I can not guarantee your safety, or that by following my instructions, you can exactly duplicate my results. So consider my instructions as a guide only.

In the pre-recorded lessons, although I try, I don’t guarantee, that each picture depicts the safest way to perform a step. 

When using any tool you must rely on your own training and knowledge of your own equipment. Read all the instructions that come with your equipment to make sure you understand how to operate them safely and effectively. If you feel uncomforable or uncertain about anything, stop and get some help.

Wear all the recommended safety gear for each project. Typically all these projects require wearing eye protection, hearing protection, a dust mask or respirator and carving cloves. This is not an all inclusive list as each project is slightly different. Always follow specific instructions.

The classes on this site are intended for adults only!

I cannot be held liable for any possible injury resulting from your participation in my online classes.  

Thanks for taking the time to read this disclaimer. I will frequently remind you of all the important safety precautions and with the proper training and proper knowledge you should be able to avert the known hazards that come with any woodworking project. This will make your learning experience in creating your wooden puppets even more enjoyable and fulfilling.
