Hey, fellow makers and DIY enthusiasts! Welcome to the channel! I’m Tom, and though I’m not a professional woodworker, my background is in metal fabrication and mechanical design. After 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, I’ve gained an appreciation for precision, patience, and a good sense of humor!
Woodworking started as a hobby—a way to relax, get creative, and work on something different from metal tools. Surprisingly, the skills I developed in metalwork—measuring carefully, solving problems, and applying a fabrication mindset—have been incredibly useful in woodworking.
What can you expect? A bit of everything! From woodworking projects to cabinetry and furniture refinishing, plus handy tips along the way. Mistakes? Plenty—but that’s part of the learning experience. This is a shared journey, and I’m here to learn, grow, and share right alongside you!
