Your seminar and your passion for finish carpentry are an inspiration to me. I would like to thank you for devoting your time and effort to teaching and let you know how much it is appreciated.

- Dan Stone, Hemlock Builders

Because of one tip I learned at Gary Katz' Door Hanging Seminar, my door-hanging production time has been slashed! Slashed production time means higher margins! This show was well worth my investment!

- T.J. Manarite, Manarite Building & Remodeling


We physically had to kick the contractors out of here because Katz had a plane to catch. We had over 100 contractors and also offered it to our employees who had time to watch. People were spellbound!
