ABOUTI run Team Handy Dan in NYC, where we fix the kinds of problems people usually create after following bad advice online.
I also run these classes with my partner Brittany. She’s a crafts maker, artist, and co-owner of Timber Tin & Torches, where we design and sell handmade pieces together.Between the two of us, we build things for a living.
These classes exist so people can learn hands-on skills, make something real, and feel confident doing it. No pressure. No judgment.LOGISTICS
