  • Description

    Hello :) Thank you for reading
    My name is Kosuke.
    I am 25 years old and have intersts in nature and craft skills, and more.

    I was a business/finance major in college but intuitively switched my course to woodworking when I was 22.
    Starting from carving a little spoon out of wood from a home depot, then trained for years as a woodturner in the foot of mountain in Tokushima.

    And then, flew to Canada to be able to create bigger things. After one-month in log building course in British Columbia, I got few DIY building projects and finished a shower room and an outhouse.
    I feel great joy making something that gives warmth to our everyday life.

    I am currently working as a tutor in Osaka and I also study to get a high school English teaching license. I have a passion in learning and teaching language.

    One of my dreams is to have a homestead with a farm and garden in a countryside not too far from city area🌲

  • More details about your skills

    I have an immersive experience in woodturning with handmade tools. I find myself quite good at detailed work and organizing space. I also have very good eyes in details, which I believe useful for any kind of work/chore with hands.
    In the past three months on Gulf islands in BC, I built an outside shower house and an outhouse with used materials for the local family I met during my travel.

    I am a relationship-oriented person with a good empathy. I spent many years teaching kids in private school and swimming lessons since I was in high school. I wish to keep in touch with you after my stay:)
