What's the point of having a woodworking workshop if it doesn't create joy? In this video, I explore what it means to be happy in the workshop, and how to get there by creating things not for profit, but for the love of seeing how the recipient cherishes it.

Yes, I made my workshop from pallet wood and bed slats, but occasionally I mix in some resin and store-bought timber, along with reclaimed wood, to make cool things. These are some of my best woodworking projects, and they all have one thing in common... they were made to be gifted, not sold.
