Rob Cosman Woodworking, Inc. is a family owned business, located in Grand Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, that is dedicated to helping folks everywhere find joy and peace through the craftsmanship of hand-tool woodworking.
Rob Cosman, our owner and founder, started "Robin G Cosman Furniture" in 1989. In early 2000 Tom Lie-Nielsen invited Rob to distribute L-N tools throughout Canada. Most of this business was conducted at weekend woodshows where Rob would frequently demonstrate hand tool methods on the main stage. These demonstrations opened up opportunities to conduct hands-on workshops during the week days between wood shows. His teaching led to the production of a comprehensive line of hand tool videos and later a large social media outreach.
In 2008 Rob began making his own tools that he thought were better suited to the hand tool hobbyist. As business grew, "RC Woodworking Hand Tools Inc" was incorporated in 2015 and now includes the manufacturing of saws, planes, chisels, marking tools, workbenches, shooting boards, vises and all things "hand tool" related. Our local workforce of skilled craftsmen continue to expand our product line as well as offering multiple in-person, hands-on workshops held in our custom built workshop/classroom. Rob and Jake have hosted the "Online Workshop" since 2011, an ongoing, membership based learning center that teaches furniture making from design to applied finish. As a critical component of our hand tool workshop schedule, six times a year we host workshops for our "Purple Heart Project" charity to offer hand tool woodwork training to combat wounded Veterans.
Rob and his team invite you to experience the calming effect obtained through the craftsmanship of hand tool woodworking. Wood is Good!
