Turning a fire log into a wall hanging cabinet. Brought to us by Squarespace. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething This project started with a simple chunk of wood picked up on the side of the road and transformed into a unique hanging bandsaw box. Along the way, I discovered it was hickory and paired it with a stunning piece of Buckeye burl. Originally intended as a floor-standing art piece, it evolved into a wall-hanging design with contrasting matte and high-gloss finishes. This piece was all about letting the process lead the way and embracing unexpe ..read more

As a collector of potential, I’m drawn to objects—like tools, books, and random things—that could someday inspire a project. For me, it’s not about waiting for the perfect idea but about waiting to feel exc ..read more

Remember those stools we made? Yep, they suck. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething A few months ago, I built a set of bar stools, but there was a fatal flaw in the design—the top was too heavy, and the angle caused the seats to break when they tipped over. After repairing them twice, I realized I needed to go back to the drawing board. In this video, I redesigned the seat and adjusted the weight distribution to create a more stable stool. I also experimented with power carving for the first time to shape the new seats. The process was challenging, but i ..read more

For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething I’m gutting my grandparents' 52-year-old calculator and giving it new life with a fresh design using walnut and hickory. The challenge with recasing old electronics in wood lies in replicating the complex shapes that plastic can achieve. This calculator holds a lot of memories for me, and I want to honor its history by transforming it into a sculpture, complete with a stand that will make it an eye-catching centerpiece in any room.
