Dear Michael, you are the best…your sessions are beneficial, you are very patient and all explanations are clear. It amazes me how you never leave any subject/issue unattended, even if it means you will deliver after the session is ended, sometimes a day after. Thank you so much for everything, I am happy I have found you for getting tutorials on CabinetSense. I have attached my current design for a client.
Thank you for your kind comment! As a new user of CabinetSense, you have already inspired me with your creative designs.
Michael,
Thank you for the beautiful work that you just completed at our project in Laguna Beach. Your skill and craftsmanship is evident throughout the entire kitchen and bath. You were able to solve so many technical issues in a difficult remodel while still preserving the intricate design details. Hopefully you will soon post some of the photos from this project for everyone to see and appreciate.
Thank you very much! It is always a pleasure to work on your projects.
Very powerful stuff !!

m using CabinetSense in conjunction with Vectris.m now doing a kitchen/project every week.I started out 3 years ago. At the time I was quite familiar with Sketchup but knew only little about the cnc world. With this workflow I
Michael helped me so much to jump start this adventure and helped me a lot along the way. The communication is very easy and the program is evolving steadily.
Thanks a lot Michael

Thank you, Thomas. You guys do incredible work!
Michael is awesome! He makes learning software fun. That’s hard to do! He has a lot of patience. New to CNC cabinets. I love it!
Thank you, David! Learning software is a journey and you have been making great progress. Keep going!
Was very impressed with Michael’s approach to creating works of art that the rest of us call cabinets. He was able to communicate this down to whatever detail level we wanted, clearly and with enthusiasm. He conveyed the approach and the tools we can use to do the same if we give it the attention it deserves. Michel is an excellent teacher and a great person to know.
Ben,
Thank you for your kind words!
It was a pleasure to have you at our Cabinetmaker Workshop and I enjoyed getting to know you through our many conversations. Thank you for sharing your quick wit, sense of humor, and curiosity with us.
Best wishes for your cabinetmaking venture!

Michael Samarza, owner of WestOak Studios, is a truly exceptional individual—both as a master craftsman and as a generous, insightful mentor. With over 50 years of experience in cabinet design, construction, and CNC integration, Michael brings a level of expertise and passion to the craft that’s incredibly rare.
I had the opportunity to meet Michael in person at one of his woodworking workshops, and it was hands down one of the best hands-on experiences I’ve ever had. I learned techniques and insights during that session that I still use every day in my business. His ability to teach, demonstrate, and inspire is unmatched.
Beyond that, Michael has helped countless others—many of whom he’s never even met in person—navigate complex design and fabrication challenges. Whether through CabinetSense, SketchUp, VCarve Pro, or Aspire, he’s walked people through everything from initial setup to advanced production workflows, often entirely over phone, email, or text.
What sets him apart is not just his technical ability, but his willingness to give so generously of his time, wisdom, and encouragement. He’s helped new and experienced woodworkers alike—sharing not only the how, but the why behind the work. His advice on design principles, materials, hardware, and shop processes has been invaluable to so many of us.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your craft at a high level, working with Michael is a rare opportunity to learn from someone who truly lives and breathes cabinetry. I’m incredibly grateful to know him and to have learned from him firsthand.

Scott,
It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and having the opportunity to work together with you. You grasp concepts so quickly that often I’m not sure if you are learning from me or, very likely, I am learning from you.
Furthermore, you have an enthusiasm for this journey that is inspiring to me. Keep up the good work. Thank you for your kind comments.
Best,

I just completed a week-long class with Michael Samarza at WestOak Studios, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Michael is not only incredibly knowledgeable—especially with Cabinet Sense, SketchUp, CNC operations, and woodworking machinery—but he’s also one of the most generous and down-to-earth instructors I’ve ever met. Whether you’re brand new to the craft or a seasoned professional looking to reignite your passion and sharpen your skills, Michael meets you where you are and helps you level up. His shop is world-class, filled with top-tier equipment and a welcoming atmosphere that inspires creativity. He’s a gifted teacher with a passion for sharing his knowledge, and I can’t recommend his classes highly enough. If you’re even thinking about it—just do it.
Thank you, Larry, for your kind and considerate remarks. It was great to get to know you better at our recent Cabinetmaker Workshop. Your business knowledge and creativity was greatly appreciated by all of us. I’m looking forward to continuing our relationship in CNC cabinetmaking.
Warm regards,
Michael
