Jeff Lycett is the owner and lead carpenter behind Evryman Wood, a custom carpentry and trim business taking on projects of all sizes throughout the Chicago area. Jeff has been in the field for over 25 years—from project managing high-end construction in New York City to custom carpentry projects in Colorado and Chicago. But simply dipping into his work in building beautiful handrails, kitchens, and built-ins doesn’t paint the true picture of Jeff. It’s his philosophy and business model—and his deep commitment to community—that truly speak to his mission.
Our Social Enterprise manager Chad Hagedorn was featured in a blog from Redfin on building out your ultimate home woodworking station. "Use overhead space for material storage in your woodworking station. Keep tools and workbenches on wheels. Have everything at the same height as possible, which will make the space versatile and allow you to combine elements, like an outfeed table for your table saw that also serves as a workbench and tool storage."
