About Me

What are the best woodworking tools on a budget? Which expensive tools are worth investing in? Where do you buy them? — Questions like these pop up constantly on Woodworkerlodge.com. Kevin Hays, who runs the blog, realized that it would be great to have a place to refer readers to. A shop with high-quality, essential woodworking tools, and accessories at fair prices.

In 2021, that idea turned into Cucamonga Woodworking with the launch of our extra-durable, non-slip, heat, and spill-resistant silicone workbench mat. The goal was simple; to offer tested and proven products at fair prices to woodworkers of all levels. The profits from the store help us prototype and produce future products as well as articles on woodworkerlodge.com. If you have any requests for products we should make next, get in touch(contact form below).

Kevin’s interest in the craft was inspired by his uncle, Dennis Hays, a master woodworker who started teaching him the tools of the trade. Today, Kevin passes everything he has learned from the experts in the field on to the followers of his blog. One of the most confusing aspects of getting into woodworking is which tools to buy. We aim to make the choice easier for both beginner and experienced woodworkers.
