Throughout the years I've attempted many projects, and have learned a ton along the way.
I've never had any formal training besides high school wood shop, and YouTube University. I enjoy the challenge of a new project and most of the time I even finish.

Newest build is a serving tray built of solid walnut and finished with my beeswax/mineral oil creation. This build was simple until it came down to the 45 degree corners which never seem to line up properly without additional cuts/fixes.

Finished the cheese slicing board. Made of walnut and maple leftover wood scraps. Turned out really well. I especially like applying the oil/beeswax and seeing how the grain comes out!

Finished project. Love the way this turned out. The accent wall is 24x24 tiles from Costco that can be cut and shaped how you want it to look. Lots of black dust and felt when cutting them on the table saw. Still need to clean up the mess in the garage but the living room is mostly done!

New project in the works. Filling in this box to update the space. My drywall and mudding needs work so will probably end up making this an accent wall with some new paint.

Made some Christmas coasters for gifts this year. It was a fun quick project and I think they turned out great!

Decided I needed a work bench that I could fold up and still park 2 cars in the garage. This is what I came up with. It’s on locking casters so it can be moved around easily, the legs fold into the bottom of the table and the entire thing attaches to the wall when not in use. I also made it the same height as my table saw so I can also use it as an outfeed table.

New board. Turned out really nice. Sanding is always my nemesis.

It’s been a while so I thought it was time to get back into the garage and do some building. Starting with a couple basic pieces after buying some wood this weekend. Hopefully I’m not too rusty to remember how to do this. Wish me luck!

Just finished this quick project. It’s a place to put your drink and charge your phone while sitting in the best spot on the sectional.

It’s been a while since I posted any projects. Here’s my first cedar garden box. Came together pretty quickly but the price of cedar makes it a pricey project.
