You're not behind (and it doesn't have to be my table)
Hi Reader,A lot of you have told me you're watching the Mid-Century Modern Table course from the sidelines because you feel like you missed the start. You didn't.Here's the truth about a build like this: nobody is cutting walnut in real time with me.

New TWW video + a free plan
New Video: The Other Half of My Shop My shop is inside an old firehouse built in the ’70s. Most of the woodworking you see takes place in the main 1,066-square-foot bay, but there’s also a smaller bay that was added sometime in the ’90s.

It was time for a proper maker space renovation. Function came first, but...

You get to the end of a sentence and realize that you have no idea what the characters just said. Or if you followed the show, you look back at your email and realize you’ve been staring at the same unfinished sentence for five minutes. Yes, technically both things were happening at the same time,...
