About

Woodshop Diaries is a DIY blog with building plans and tutorials ranging from large furniture builds to small decor items. As a former engineer, now turned full time DIYer/content creator, I tend to be a bit technical, but I enjoy sarcasm and try to throw in some humor along the way. Check out my tutorial videos here and then head over to www.woodshopdiaries.com for all the building plans and more detailed instructions.
