Who Is Christofix
Hi, I’m Christophe, and my passion for woodworking reignited in late 2018. Wood has always been at the heart of my life’s work, seamlessly blending into every aspect of my career.
With a background in landscape gardening and design, and nearly 20 years of experience in the gardening and landscaping industry, I’ve always been deeply connected to wood—whether working with living trees or using wood in construction projects. In 2018, I decided to transform this lifelong passion into crafting unique, environmentally respectful items from wood.
My transition from a landscaper to a full-time woodworker was fueled by relentless hard work and continuous learning. Leveraging my extensive experience with wood from landscaping, I began to delve deeper into the art of working with wood. Starting with a modest one-car garage as my workshop, I embarked on a journey of honing my skills, driven by a desire to create and innovate.
The internet and YouTube became invaluable resources, guiding me through the nuances of setting up and optimizing my workshop. It was a journey marked by dedication, where I invested countless hours into learning, making mistakes, and refining my craft. Through perseverance and a commitment to excellence, I turned my garage into a well-organized woodworking haven.
Recognizing the challenges of finding reliable woodworking information, I felt compelled to share my journey and insights. Initially, I faced obstacles, such as a lack of experience with filming, editing, and website creation. However, my determination led me to watch countless tutorials, take courses, and teach myself these essential skills.
Today, I run a YouTube channel and this website to share my woodworking experiences. My goal is to inspire you to embark on your woodworking journey, build your own workshop, and create beautiful furniture and home decor. I will guide you in discovering and buying the best possible power tools and materials to create your projects. Through hard work and continuous learning, I’ve built a wealth of knowledge that I now share with you.
Join me as I continue to learn, grow, and share. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
Christophe
Having a small workshop myself and facing woodworking problems on a daily basis, I realized that many people will have the same issues and looking for answers.
That’s why I created this website.
