Custom furniture, real shop notes, and practical plans

Useful woodwork, documented like someone might actually build it.

Site direction

A portfolio with depth, useful articles, tutorials, reviews, and a plan library people can return to.

Each main tab is now its own page. The project pages focus on design choices, joinery, wood movement, finishing, budget, and lessons learned. The journal is based on woodworking questions people keep asking, the tutorial page collects practical videos and tool reviews, and the plans page filters free resources by room, project type, and difficulty.
