This beautiful DIY perpetual calendar will sit on your desk and give you something meaningful to do once a month, every month, in an endless cycle of perpetuity. Begin this project by cutting your base to length, then using the router to profile the edges. Cut a slot in the board to hold the […]
This week we’re going to make salad servers – a great starter project on the band saw. These also make great gifts, so if you’re looking for last-minute Christmas presents, let’s fire up that saw and get to work. Start with two scrap pieces of hardwood. Glue the side templates onto the boards with spray-on […]
Today we’re doing #tbt – a great throwback video of my maple and padauk sushi serving set. I’ve newly re-edited it for 2018 with faster pacing and no sponsored spots, so I hope you enjoy the improvements! And of course it’s appropriate for the holiday – because everyone has sushi for Thanksgiving, right? Or […]

One of the best parts about having woodworking for a hobby is that it never gets old. Every project (and I mean every project!) comes with its own set of challenges and small puzzles to figure out. But once in a while I like to take on an entire project that is a challenge. These […]
One “problem area” in my house is a space on the floor that shoes seem to gather. Of course, I should just put them in the closet, but it is just so much handier having them free from such confines! I think a good compromise is a shoe rack, which allows easy accessibility to my […]
My wife bought me a Keurig coffee maker a for Christmas and absolutely love it, but I’ve never had a good way to store the coffee pods. I’ve been using a box next to the coffee maker, hardly an elegant solution. I looked online and found a lot of designs on the market but most have […]
