New video on the making of a gift box from scrap wood. Mostly its a chance to play my show theme song "Cut Against the Grain" in its entirety. Still so thankful to Underhill Rose for this song. It's a fitting soundtrack to hand work.

Listen just to hear Marc make Matt into an evil villian

I rode about 30k in an hour today. But I was on a gravel bike without aero bars and up a bunch of hills in cold dense air. So basically like 57k in an hour. #HourRecord #topganna

Happy Halloween! I’ve spent more time explaining how I built it to the dads than giving out candy. instagram.com/p/CkZRBNGOclW/…

Woodworking Rorschach test. I was doing a curve cutting demo and this offcut was the result. What do you see? What does it mean to you? instagram.com/p/ClWwmMxu71C/…

The correct answer to the previous Rorschach test post is that offcut can only mean it’s time for “sleigh-vings!!” 🙃🙄 instagram.com/p/ClXTD1-uN3n/…

Zoom meeting with my small cohort of folks working through The Hand Tool School semester 2 together today. I never know where these will go but today I built a box. Thanks for keeping me on my toes guys. instagram.com/p/ClY-zS7OIOF/…

Do you ever cut or copy some text/code and then find yourself rushing to paste it before the computer forgets it...yeah me either.

Had a long Monday? A sharp blade on end grain will put a smile on your face. instagram.com/p/ClzjtPfutgb/…

My favorite part of a new marquetry project! Sorting through my veneers and composing the images. instagram.com/p/ClznemrO_f7/…

Yknow it’s not a big stretch to mix up the singing voice of Robert Smith (The Cure) and Bobcat Golthwaite.

The things I have to do for work 😎 @ Stratosphere, Top of the World Restaurant 108Th Floor instagram.com/p/CoEIagOOrTP/…

I used a power tool. It was weird.
