JOE TRIPPI

Our director, Joe Trippi, has been trained in the European theory of Cabinetmaking, which is reliant on the efficient use of hand tools.

Over the past 30 years Joe has developed his own style and theory, which fuses proficient use of hand tools with safe and effective use of power assisted tools.

This marriage of theories has resulted in the success of his furniture shop specializing in American reproduction furniture and custom inlay work, Turner & Trippi, Inc.

Joe has been teaching for over 6 years and has to date taught over 700 students. Joe’s dedication to his students is unparalleled.  He is always going the extra mile to help students reach their potential.

Joe has developed and teaches most of the woodworking class himself. Any class not taught by Joe, must meet his criteria of similar theories and practical application.
