Welcome. My name is John and I am an amateur woodworker who enjoys working on small, creative projects. With just a few basic hand tools and a limited number of power tools, I try to make the most out of every piece of wood. It’s all about keeping it simple, learning as you go, and finding joy in crafting something by hand. There’s nothing more satisfying than turning an idea into a finished project, no matter how simple or detailed. I believe woodworking is as much about the journey as it is about the final result.
Below, you will find a number of projects I have worked on. Click the title link under each image to enlarge.
