Hey there! We’re so excited to have you here, and we thought the best way to kick things off is by introducing ourselves. We’re the family behind By The Hand—a local, family-run cabinetry business that’s all about creating beautiful, functional spaces for people like you.
Meet the Team (That’s Us!)
By The Hand is led by Jack, my husband, and a master carpenter with over 15 years of experience in custom cabinetry and millwork. His passion for woodworking started early, and through the years, he’s been fortunate enough to work on some pretty amazing projects—from home renovations to big installations like the CN Tower renovations, Chanel store fixtures, Adidas store fronts, various large scale ceiling fixtures, and Nobu Toronto. And then there’s me, Jenna, managing the projects and making sure every detail runs smoothly. Together, we’re hands-on with every project from start to finish.
Our kids are often nearby, reminding us that the work we do is not just about building furniture—it’s about building a life and a home for our own family, and helping you do the same. We love that our work allows us to meet so many people in our community and transform spaces into something that truly reflects who they are.
Why We Do What We Do
For us, this isn’t just a business—it’s a passion. We believe there’s something special about creating pieces that last, that are crafted with care, and that are meant to be a part of your home for years to come. Whether it’s a custom-built pantry, a statement wardrobe, or a unique piece of solid wood furniture, we approach every project like it’s our own. We believe in quality, sustainability, and making sure every detail is just right.
What You Can Expect from Us (and This Blog!)
We started this blog to not only showcase what we do, but to also invite you into our world of woodworking, design, and craftsmanship. You’ll get to see behind the scenes of our projects, learn about the materials we use, and maybe even find a little inspiration for your own home. Most of all, we hope this blog becomes a way for us to connect with you and share the heart behind our work.
Thank you for stopping by, for following our journey, and for considering us to be a part of your home’s transformation. It means the world to us. We look forward to getting to know you, and we can’t wait to create something special together.
With gratitude,
Jenna & Jack
