Roland Johnson

Roland Johnson describes his start in woodworking as “a bit inauspicious”—he built an 8-ft. racing boat at the tender age of 14 and it sank the first two times he put it in the water. His woodworking has since advanced, and he’s now turned to teaching as a way of paying his hard-earned knowledge forward. A contributing editor to FWW, he recently completed a series of online video classes for Taunton Workshops, available at tauntonworkshops.com. He is also a featured presenter with The Woodworking Shows.
