Christopher Hall, The Gentleman Joiner, is a Master Carpenter with over 40 years' experience specialising in designing and making bespoke handmade furniture and fine joinery for the discerning residential market, and with this experience he also provides a product evaluation consultancy service to the hand and power tool industry in the development of new tools and products.

Classically trained in the craft of cabinet making and joinery he is renowned for his uncompromising craftsmanship and eye for detail, rarely found in today's 'instant' society. It is, indeed, a pleasure to see properly constructed and fitting joinery, which not only further enhances the appearance of the finished piece but also confirms its integrity.

Passionate about woodwork from a very early age, Christopher's skills were founded at a private boarding school where individual talent and manual dexterity were encouraged, enabling him to achieve the ultimate grade, Distinction, in all three subjects of woodwork: Technical Drawing, Theory and Practical.

Christopher now holds Masterclasses at the The Woodhall Institute of Craftsmanship, located near Guildford in Surrey, where driven by enthusiasm, he is keen to pass on the knowledge gained over the last forty years for the benefit of all home woodworkers interested in the correct approach to the craft of woodworking.
