Handcrafted with Care

A handmade jewelry tray from Peruvian walnut. My first attempt at template routing – it didn't turn out perfect, but it works and we use it every day.

Wall-mounted garage shelves built from 2x4s and OSB. A simple, inexpensive build that took less than a day and made a huge difference in garage organization.

A full-featured router table with custom router plate, T-track fence system, and expandable wings. The most complicated build yet – I honestly can't believe I finished it.

A rolling infeed/outfeed table for my planer with expandable wings and rollers. Similar to the outfeed table build, maybe even simpler.

A quick one-hour build for Clarissa – a three-tiered altar for Día de los Muertos that nests together for easy storage.

A rolling outfeed table for my table saw with folding wings and storage underneath. More complicated than expected, but I made it happen in the end.

Six floating shelves flanking the living room TV. A story of failed French cleats, ripped drywall, and eventually figuring it out thanks to DIY Creators on YouTube.

A set of modular, rolling workbenches inspired by Bear Mountain Builds. Finally, no more working on the garage floor..

My first attempt at building something functional AND nice-looking. Clarissa asked if I could make a bench for our front porch, and I was determined to deliver.

My first "scrounging for materials" project. Found free pallets behind Northern Tool & Equipment, cut them to fit in my car, and built a simple wall-mounted hat rack with wooden pegs.

My first woodworking project from a Woodshop 101 class with Louis Jordan. Learned the fundamentals of shop safety, tool operation, wood grain, and the milling process while creating a beautiful cutting/cheese board.
