Who Are We?​

20 Years on the Tools, Now at Your Fingertips.

JourneymanTips.com was founded by a veteran carpenter with 20+ years of job-site experience. With over 700,000 skilled tradespeople retiring in the next few years, the “know-how” of the veteran journeyman is disappearing. My mission is to pass the torch—providing DIYers and apprentices with the honest perspective and professional secrets needed to ensure every project is built to last.
