Hello everyone. My name is Bill Church and I have a cabinet shop in Amherst NH. My younger Brother Glyn and myself are 3rd generation woodworkers. We do a variety of different things. Glyn builds custom guitars and has a strong background in trim and all parts of site work. I have been shop forman in cabinet shops in Massachusetts, California, Arkansas, and now I have a shop in NH. I have always worked in shops that do unusual projects. I have built everything you can imagine from shop built stairs, kitchen cabinets, theater rooms, basements, and I specialize in curved cabinets. I have made curved bookcases that covered the walls of a round office. One of these cabinets was made to pivot out , revieling a secret room. The owner was 80 yrs old and he could open this bookcase fully loaded with books. In the same room We made a pair of solid 2inch thick oak raised panel curved pocket doors. Thats right curved pocket doors. I have never seen this anywhere and we had to figure out how to make them work smoothly. They do not make a curved track for these doors. Problem solving is what we do. We love a challenge and get a kick out of what we make. I have the tools and the ability to make anything. Although I do have the ability to do very custom projects don't let that scare you away from having us do any number of everyday woodworking jobs. We build to suit and in most cases I can give a custom kitchen for less than you can get a home depot kitchen. I am happy to be a member of this site and feel free to ask me for pointers or info. I am willing to share any knowledge I have. Also if you have any projects that need help give me a call. I am single and my kids have moved out on thier own so travel is not a problem. In this present economy I am doing what everyone else is doing. Looking for work to pay the morgage and getting discouraged at all the wanna be carpenters taking jobs from the talented people with sawdust in thier veins. Good luck to all and I hope the economy gets better for all of us.


Peace and support our troops not the war.
