Formed in 2015, Somerset Woodworks is a small, family-run firm based in Mallorytown, Ontario. The owner is Jim Stinson.
Jim’s father instilled the love of woodworking in him at a young age. Through high school and early adulthood, he was blessed with mentors who fostered a further devotion to the craft.
Jim graduated from the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery program at the Algonquin College Heritage Institute in Perth, Ontario. He currently enjoys a teaching position there, teaching courses on traditional windows, doors, staircasing, joinery and millwork. Jim also serves as the school’s shop technician. In 2018 and 2023, the school’s Students’ Association honoured him with the “Excellence in Teaching” award. Jim is the co-author of the textbook, “Carpentry: A Technical Workbook for Trades’ Mathematics”, published by Pearson.
