Clermont Woodworking and Design is a one man shop specializing in building “one of a kind” custom furniture,
restoring “well loved” heirlooms, and teaching woodworking skills to all levels of woodworkers. The company
was founded in 2000 by Keith Neer, a master woodworker of 35 years, in preparation for early retirement from a fortune 500
company. From day one, the objectives of Clermont Woodworking were to build special furniture for a wide variety of clients
and share woodworking techniques with those interested in enhancing their approach to the craft of woodworking.
The most unique aspect of classes at Clermont Woodworking is that they can be customized for the individual.
These sessions are taught one on one and range from the building of a specific project to the development of a
project that will serve to enhance the skills of the student. All such sessions start with a no obligation visit
to the shop to discuss individual needs and wishes. Group classes are also offered for groups from 4 – 8 and range
from mastering inlay, incorporating bent laminates in your work, building a small table, building a router table
for less than $100 and many more. In the last five years over 50 different students have been enrolled. Call the
shop for additional information.

Complete customization is the name of the game at Clermont Woodworking. Rarely is the same piece built a second time and
individual teaching encounters are always unique. This is the place to contact after you have decided that you cannot purchase
exactly what you want or when you cannot get the desired instruction at a local woodworking store. In the last five years over
30 unique heirlooms have been built for a wide range of customers.

Proportion and design are paramount if a positive, lasting impression is to be made when someone first encounters a new piece
of furniture. And yet, few individuals approach the purchase of furniture with this in mind. Accordingly, the first job for me
when engaging a new client is to explore what they “need” and what they “want” from a piece of furniture. These attributes are
then blended into a furniture plan which will be both functional and architecturally pleasing when completed and installed in its
new home.
