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.
3. I’m still making wooden books. This is a solid mahogany exposed spine journal featuring a Celtic sewing with a coptic headband and spiral binding on hemp ropes. Thanks for your time.
17. Just finished my first real piece of furniture (mid century modern walnut coffee table) in my small shed workshop with tools I’ve bought off craigslist.
26. I’ve worked a fair chunk of my life in high end homes and at least a couple mansions. All of the built ins and custom woodworking touches that I would have loved to have. I can finally afford to work for me .
