STOP getting Inspiration From the Internet!

Video Description

After Collecting 500 Woodworking Books, Here's What I've Learned. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething In this video, I take you inside my ever-growing collection of over 500 books—mostly woodworking, design, and craft-related—and share how they’ve shaped who I am as a maker and artist. I talk about the joy of hunting for used books at thrift stores, antique malls, and libraries, and how each book holds a story beyond its pages. From my favorite 1970s project books to rare art collections, I explore how physical books offer inspiration that the internet simply can’t match. I also share a bit about how I organize my collection, reflect on the books that changed my creative direction, and offer a peek at the process and philosophy behind collecting with intention.
