BB Craft School founder Brandt Bester with students holding certificates next to their finished bedside cabinets in the Somerset West workshop

Hi, I’m Brandt,
 

I started woodworking full-time in 2013, focusing on commercial manufacturing. This high-pressure environment shaped my entire approach: prioritize efficiency, master power tools, and use practical techniques to get high-quality results fast.
 

My philosophy is simple: Why spend days sawing, joining, or sanding by hand when there are smarter, more efficient ways to achieve the same quality?
 

I founded BB Craft School in January 2022 to share these practical, results-driven skills. I don't teach "old-school" methods; I teach the tools and processes that make sense for productivity and precision.

Whether you are building a solid wood table or a full kitchen, I aim to equip you with the skills to build professionally from day one.
