Should I Keep Going Even If It’s Not Fun?
Make Something
@makesomethingAbout
Creative woodworking focused on design and art. Over the past 10 years, I’ve created nearly 500 videos, each one reflecting a different stage of my journey. Along the way, I’ve explored every style of woodworking content and gone through many transformations. Now, I’m stripping away the gimmicks and hype to focus on what drew me to making in the first place: the journey and the creative process. I want to push my creative boundaries and build things that truly excite me. I’m here to share my design thinking, my struggles, and my insights to help us all move forward on our creative paths. It’s not about how; it’s about why. Let’s Make Something.

Making a resin vase and dealing with the artistic struggle we all face. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething Not every project needs to be finished—and that’s what I realized while making this resin vase. I set out to experiment with molding resin to look like molten glass, creating a unique, flowing form. Along the way, I learned some really cool techniques, built a custom wooden stand, and explored new ways to shape resin. But somewhere in the process, the excitement faded. This video isn’t just about making—it’s about knowing when to walk away. I struggled with the Sunk Cost Fallacy, that feeling of needing to finish something just because I’ve already put time into it. But creativity isn’t just about completion—it’s about growth. And sometimes, moving on is the best decision you can make.
