POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Been wondering if there are places you can go to use tools, take classes (well… other than here!), and connect with communities of other makers and woodworkers?

You’ll find all this and more at Woodcraft next Saturday, the 26th, from 9 AM–1 PM at our Maker’s Resource Event.

We’ve teamed up with the Saint Louis Woodworkers Guild, MADE STL, Inventor Forge, and Marc Spagnuolo of the Wood Whisperer Guild. They’ll all be here to talk with you about the resources they have to offer as you continue your woodworking journey.

This was not part of the plan.

Joining @twwguild was the single best thing I have done in my development as a woodworker. I joined 7 years ago because I felt stuck, and wanted to learn how to build better furniture. They seemed to have the best plans online, so I bought one.

Getting to take a live class with Marc was already more than I expected when I joined. Somehow that led to taking on a behind the scenes role helping with the Guild. In August I actually became a regular part of the channel through the @woodworkingmorningshow. That last one still feels a little surreal.

I'm incredibly grateful to @woodwhisperer and @nicolespag for trusting me with a small part of something they have spent nearly 20 years building, and for giving me the opportunity to contribute to a community that has given me so much.

The plans I bought were great, but I realized the Guild is a lot more than just project plans. It's a community of woodworkers sharing what they know, encouraging each other, and pushing everyone to improve. A huge part of the woodworker I am today came from that.

Come hang out with us every Friday on YouTube for the Woodworking Morning Show at 10 am Central (12:30 pm Newfoundland time 🙂)!

Made from scratch. Made to last. 🌳🪚
Two oak armchairs, built entirely by hand from raw timber. Design and plans by @twwguild thanks Marc for the bent lamination guidance!
Every part of these chairs has been shaped, joined, sanded and finished with care — from the solid oak frames and hand-finished arms to the individual spindles and carefully fitted upholstery. (Thanks to Dad for the sewing help)
There’s something special about taking a piece of timber and turning it into something that will become part of someone’s home (mine 😁)for years to come.
A pair of chairs made slowly,and with a lot of pride. (Background has been added by to my photograph by AI, image is a true to the chairs they have not been created by AI imagery)
Handmade in oak. Built for comfort. Made to last.

Quick refresh for the garden bench. Cleaned with teak brightener and then it sucked up almost 1/2 gal of teak oil. Should be good for another 5 years of neglect. @twwguild #thermallymodifiedash

I am officially kicking off the TWW Guild Gaming Table project. I milled this 6x6 white oak six years ago, will use them for the legs and other parts. The @ctfinefurniture article in @finewoodworkingmagazine couldn’t have come at a better time - will be incorporating some of the embedded magnet techniques.

2025 was the year things finally clicked.

I went to @woodwhisperer ’s barstool class expecting to learn joinery and build a stool. I came home with confidence. That’s what pushed me into the bar cabinet: fluted floating panels, brass accents, hand-cut dovetails…stuff I never would’ve attempted before.

I reconnected with @nicolespag and started helping with the @twwguild . Running Watch-Alongs, meeting woodworkers, actually feeling part of something. That changed everything.

I got shop time with my dad @batt.gary . Two projects, a lot of laughs, and a full-circle moment I’ll never forget.

I leaned into my interest in Sam Maloof. His philosophy that the designer and builder should be the same person sent me back to basics. I dropped CAD and learned scale drawings, full-size sketches, and built my own templates. Slower, but the work finally made sense.

I started sharing more online just to connect. This hobby is isolating; it helped to feel less alone.

And none of this happens without my wife, @sabrinabatt3 . She booked the trip. Brought meals to the shop. Talked me down from the fire pit more than once. Building her a cookbook shelf was the least I could do. Her passion for cooking rivals mine for woodworking, she is a constant source of inspiration.

2025 ended up being the perfect woodworking year. Didn’t expect that.
