    Had an outdoor side table that wasn’t very functional for placing drinks. Made this little table top to address the issue.

    PSA: Oak is extremely porous and probably shouldn't be used for cutting boards. Here is me blowing air through a 3/4" poplar/red oak cutting board.

    5 watch box I finished up today after a long time of not working on it. Feels really good to have finished it and I’m so proud of the final result. Wood is curly maple with purpleheart and wenge.

    20 years + being paid for it, but probably an unpopular opinion

    I just watched a cute lil video by somebody with skills. But I saw him rip a board right down the middle on a table saw and I cringed. You shouldn't do it that way. It's asking for trouble. Trouble that a Sawstop or riving knife won't stop.

    Even the most meticulously jointed and planed board has tension in it. That tension can bind on a blade or against a fence. At best you burn the board with friction. At worst it kicks back and kills you. Somewhere in the middle is some broken bones or lost digits. Just stop!

    Trim your boards to rough sizes first with a band saw or jig saw. These are safer tools. There's not 7 1/4" or 10" of blade to bind up. There's most likely 1/4' to 1/2" inch of blade. And the blade is not spinning toward you with these tools. It's pulling down or reciprocating. Much harder to lose digits or lives that way.

    After a board is rough sawn, it's much easier to control when you're only removing a lil bit of material. Wood keeps it shape the less you remove. Keep that in mind next time you rip.

    Just be safe y'all. It's not that hard.

    Been at this for a quarter century. Can still count to 10 without removing my shoes. Heed my words.

    I restored a beat up mahogany secretary’s desk from 1933. Days and days of sanding and rebuilding broken parts. Not bad for a $35 purchase.

    Portaits I made of the Trio that started it all for my best friends birthday!

    This might look familiar. I removed my 1x6 fence planks and installed tongue and groove today. Much happier with the outcome, as the fence planks were starting to shrink more and more. While the T&G was about 300% more expensive to do, it was definitely worth it.

    Not much, but for me, the first work I feel I tried my best on.
