Welcome

This site is a place where I share general musings about the craft of furniture making, wooden object restoration or woodworking in general. Here I share photos of my work and my process, along with some practical advice and instruction in either woodworking or restoration, and the simply lignin-curious. Your questions are welcome. Best to email me at sticksandglue@yahoo.com and I will make every effort to get to get back to you promptly.

I work for myself and I do not represent any manufacturer or retailer; so what you are getting here is my opinion based upon my experience. If I do recommend a tool or a source its because they have worked for me and not due to any remunerative relationship with a sponsor.

Blog for Woodworkers

I began my blog after spending a lot of time discovering the world of woodworking information (and misinformation) on the internet. By sharing some of my own practical experiences, I hope to aid other woodworkers searching for the sort of knowledge that I was also looking for when I began my journey into this craft, especially tips about needed tools and accessories. Over time I’ve found that about 30% of the tools I originally purchased proved ultimately of little or no use. Other tools and devices that I may have dismissed initially have turned out to be rather useful. I live and learn, and so try to remain open minded regarding the varied resources that are available to aid woodworkers in getting the work done.
