Woodworkers see things differently from other (some would say “normal”) people. Here’s a perfect example.

Isolation tends to make folks a bit antsy. I’d say that woodworkers are no different. At least, not this one.

I have a bad habit that I know a lot of other woodworkers share: Endlessly obsessing over flaws and errors in perfectly good work.

There are lots of expenses in woodworking (or any other business), but the most onerous are those that accomplish only to get you back where you already were.

I bumped into a woodworker last week. How did I know? Well, he was making something out of wood, and for me that’s the only proof I needed.

Tool manuals are getting out of hand. And I mean that literally, since it now takes three hands to read one.

Sometimes – too often, it seems – woodworking gives you two choices that force you to make a tough decision.

I talked last year about how little attention the checkouts at Big Box stores pay to what they’re actually ringing up. In the earlier case, the guy paid no attention to the fact that I had two cabinets on a dolly, not one long one, and only charged me for one. I noted at the time that even though this was a small thing, it’s still indicative of issues affecting the economy. How can you possibly succeed when you’re letting free stuff go out the door?
