Norbont Designs

Welcome to Norbont Designs! I’m Alex, and I’m building a woodworking business one square foot at a time.

While my legal name is Norbont Lumber Co., the "headquarters" is actually a tiny basement room in my house located in Northern Ontario which used to be an old kitchen! I know - its nuts! I’m proving you don’t need a massive industrial shop to create high-end work—you just need some decent tools, a lot of glue, and the ability to carry plywood down a narrow staircase without taking out a wall. --- maybe add some "patience" in there.

Join me in the "Kitchen-Shop" for:

- Small Space Woodworking: How I run a pro shop in a basement.

- The Process: Building everything from Etsy decor to custom furniture.

- Shop Science: Testing finishes and glues to see what actually works.

- The Business: The honest truth about growing a brand from scratch.
