Building a Woodworking Shop
Time to Build a Shop on Our Foundation. You can follow along as the building goes up. This 24 x32 foot Shed was Pre-fabricated by Tuff Shed. It arrived with a pair of carpenters and a load of pre-built walls.
The Foundation of a Business
For years I have wanted a full-sized shop. In order to do this, we need an actual foundation that the shop can sit on and start generating real income. Here is what I went through to get this foundation in place and ready to install the shop.

Building a Woodworking Business From the Ground Up
Building a WoodWorking Business from the Ground up takes persistence and planning. Have a look at this recap from the last year to see what I’ve been up to as I Build my Business.
Unique Live Oak Wood Display Stand
I created this Live Oak Wood Display Stand to house a large Silk Flower arrangement. This was a gift that was requested by my better half. A decorative accent to our home together.
Wooden Sailboat Wall Hanging
Salvaged Oak from Hilton Head Island cried out to be sculpted into something with a maritime theme. This Wooden Sailboat Wall Hanging neatly filled the need. Follow along with the process used to create this unique one-of-a-kind piece of wall art.
Live Edge Wood Benches
Two Live Edge Wood Benches created from the Yellow Pine that I milled in 2017 were produced as firepit chairs. We wanted something rustic so the two-inch thick pine worked nicely for this project. I used some pallet wood supports for the cross pieces for the benches and left the milling marks and staining on the surface. They are stable heavy and look very rustic with a minimum amount of spit and polish.
Handcrafted Wooden American Flag Wall Hanging
I had some Shiplap from another project and decided to put it to use in a Wooden American Flag Wall Hanging.
Live Edge Wood Slab Coffee Table
This Rustic Live Edge Coffee Table was a Project Created for My Partner’s Son. In this Article I Cover the Process I Used to Make This Live Edge Coffee Table.
Outdoor Wood Bench Restoration
Over the years an outdoor wood bench sat looking over the 17th hole of the Heritage Golf Links. Each night for about 20 years an elderly couple sat and watched the sunset over the Calabogie Sound. Time and tide were not gentle on this bench. When the couple passed their family wanted to remember them by restoring the bench to usable condition. I was tasked with restoring this Outdoor Wood Bench.
Refinishing Teak Furniture
Last year we finished up the repairs on the house in South Carolina. On the back porch, there were a couple of wooden chairs that had been sitting out in the weather for many years. While they were gray and had moss growing on them, I could tell that they were nice quality furniture. I suspected that they were teak but before I got started I wasn’t sure what wood they were made from. In any event, I decided that it was time to clean these up and see if there was anything under the grime. Here is the process that I use for refinishing teak furniture.
As a long-time Woodworker, I've built a variety of large and small projects. I've learned to use the tools available to me to get the job done.
I'm currently building out my shop and starting to create again. I need to work with wood or I'll go crazy.
Follow along on my journey to rebuild my woodworking shop and start a business from the ground up.
