About

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.

Unlock your creativity with this game changing technique you've never seen. Brought to you by Squarespace. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething I explore the creative process through two powerful methods: designing within constraints and the game-changing technique I learned from David Lynch—destroying your project and rebuilding from the chaos. I take on the challenge of transforming two $5 thrift store mini organizers with plastic drawers into a unique wooden cabinet. Along the way, I push myself to sketch more freely, embrace unpredictability, and trust in the build-destroy-build process. The result is something far beyond what I initially imagined, a project that truly embodies creativity as problem-solving. This approach helps me break free from the burden of perfection and unlock new creative potential. Join me as I combine design principles with raw experimentation to create something unexpected and, honestly, a little weird.
