So for the past few months we’ve been talking about how when we moved down to Texas from North Dakota we would be tearing down our entire shop and having to build it all over again. Well, the time has come and here we are. With a garage full of boxes covered in tape and…
I know what you’re thinking based on the title….are they back?? Are they actually building again?!! Uhhh….kind of! We have finally made it down to Texas and are all moved into our new place. We’re setting up the shop right after I finish this post, actually. BUT – the reason we were able to start…
Because we’re secretly amazing artists who just decided to build furniture?? Definitely not…(Ha! let’s be honest we’re both nerds who decided to pick up a pencil). Nope, we got into sketching furniture because we learned that our clients really liked it and it got us all on the same page of what the piece was…
We do a lot of talking on our YouTube channel about being efficient with how and what you sell in your woodworking business. Honestly, the majority of that is due to the fact that we (and so many woodworkers like us) have full-time jobs and do this “maker” thing on the side. For example –…

A few months ago we decided to design a couple projects that could be easily repeatable and batched out relatively quickly. This helps keeps costs low for the customer and we wanted to be able to make multiple sales within the same timeframe – resulting in maximum efficiency of our time (I know this is…
….Using only 1 sheet of plywood!! Okay, so this modern coffee table is in my top 3 favorite things we’ve ever made. Yes…EVER…like since we bought our first saw and starting building things on our own. This was the first piece we were able to build that wasn’t for a practical purpose, but for the…
Isn’t it always just the little things that hang us up in this skill of woodworking?! Figuring out how to use your tools just perfectly so that when you have to take off 1/8″ of material from the end of a board it doesn’t actually turn into 1/4″, placing tiny screws in just the right…
