Start Woodworking Today.
My new book will help you start making things right away. I explain the basics of wood grain and how wood can be cut and shaped by hand and I introduce you to 12 simple hand tools that will get you started. Each tool has a detailed explanation of how to buy it, what to pay, and how to sharpen and use it. Once we understand wood and tools, I have 15 simple, useful projects that anyone can make. Everyday Woodworking is an extension of my popular YouTube series Woodwork for Humans, but it’s much more detailed and everything is laid out step-by-step. With my beginner-focused approach, there’s nowhere to get lost!

Simple, affordable tools.
All the projects in Everyday Woodworking can be build with just 12 common hand tools. You won’t have to deal with dangerous spinning blades or sawdust in your face. Instead, I focus on basic tools that people have been using for centuries. You might not think that a a hatchet can be used for furniture-making, but its the perfect thing for quickly doing your rough shaping. I’ll also explain saws, clamps, drills, and even glue and finish. All the basics are covered.
