Another collaborative project with @1amashonas. She has wanted a small lap desk for working on the couch for a long time, and this piece of acacia was just begging to be made into something beautiful. #lapdesk #handmade #woodworking #handmade #custommade #acacia

The walnut rocker is really coming together. It’s starting to look like a real thing! #chairmaking #rockingchair #handmade #woodworking #handtoolwoodworking

New tool in action! Six-degree reamer. Elia Bizzarri sells them “in the raw” for half the price. I turned the handle, did the final shaping, sanding and finishing. Totally worth it.     #chairmaking #reamer #handmade #woodworking #handtoolwoodworking #handtools #eliabizzarri

And here’s the fix…I aways wanted a reason to practice some inlay…super fancy. Why hide your mistakes; make them teachable moments. 😁 #teachablemoment #inlay #making #makersofinstagram #handmade #custommade #woodworking #handcrafted #workbench #woodworkingbench #mistakesweremade

Mistakes were made…I accidentally punched through the workpiece and into my bench…*sad face* #making #makersofinstagram #handmade #custommade #woodworking #handcrafted #workbench #woodworkingbench #mistakesweremade

Narayan’s (Rengoku) sword for Halloween. Just a shaped, and sharpened 2x4, a threaded rod, and a dowel plus some adornments, but it turned out pretty well. Painting is all Narayan. #making #makersofinstagram #handmade #custommade #woodworking #handcrafted #Halloween #Rengoku #DemonSlayer

A seasonal throwback of that time I made three lightsabers for Narayan and two of his cousins. #making #makersofinstagram #handmade #custommade #woodworking #handcrafted #lightsaber #starwars

⚠️ Dad joke warning! I know what you’re thinking: why would he post this boring video…boring…I love that joke 😂 I’m boring holes for the legs and posts for my walnut rocking chair.     #woodworking #chairmaking #woodturning #walnut #making #makersofinstagram #wood #handmade #custommade #handcrafted #bitandbrace

A simple maker-space project that really made this puzzle much more fun to put together. Without this, it is so easy to knock the puzzle and see all of the pieces go everywhere (last picture). #makerspace #Making #puzzles #oak #CNC #makersofinstagram

New “light bulb” kiln for drying chair parts. #woodworking #chairmaking #kiln #woodturning

One down…A chair is (besides the seat and the crest) just a bunch of sticks. One down; fourteen more to go… #woodworking #chairmaking #walnut #woodturning #shavehorse #drawknife #spokeshave

I needed a froe club/mallet, so I turned a log into this…now I am a real caveman! #woodworking #chairmaking #woodturning #froe #froemallet #froeclub
