Top-Notch Woodworking For Your Inner Ron Swanson (21 Pics)

Good woodworking is so satisfying to watch. The precision. The skill. The detail. All of it. I’ll watch woodworking videos and look at cool woodworking pics for hours, but have never once tried. I live in a studio apartment that can only fit one wood. So, for now, this will have to do.

1. Just completed this Sea Chest
