Stumbling into Woodworking

Coffee Table Pictured above is my most recent project.

How It Started

In late 2018, I stumbled into Woodworking. I was working on a home project and wanted a circular saw. I went on YouTube and searched how to use it and discovered Woodworking for Mere Mortals. Steve Ramsey hosts the channel. Steve creates content for the beginner woodworker.

Like a lot of people who watch Steve’s channel, I became obsessed. I collected a few more tools and became ambitious enough to purchase a Dewalt Table Saw.

Are you interested in Woodworking? Steve has a list of tools for under $1,000.

The Weekend Woodworker Course

Steve Ramsey sells a bunch of courses on Woodworking. His basics course is called The Weekend Woodworker. The course is composed of 6 projects. Each project has video and text instructions.

I completed four out of six projects. The one I’m most proud of so far is the coffee table.

The coffee table took everything I learned and combined it into a single project.

How It’s Going

Going into the garage every day for 15 to 30 minutes to make a cut or sand a board feels great. Making stuff with my hands is refreshing.
