I’m proud to have an article in the December issue (#229) of Popular Woodworking Magazine.

After a year of hard work and some good fun, we have just launched a coffee table book called Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop on sale now at your local bookstore or at the Offerman Woodshop online store or find tickets & info for the LA book launch party Nov 13 here.

I had the pleasure to work with some of my best friends, esteemed colleagues, my cousin Sally, and my dog Gus on this creative collaboration.

And, I got to write my own chapter about my path to woodworking, and an instructional on building my dream bed. Thanks to Nick for sharing these pages and his shop with us, and thanks to the fine folks at Penguin Books for making this dream come true!

Now if only woodworking went this fast in real life!

Smart Girls will be live streaming from the shop today–tune in on facebook!

Thanks to Solvej Schou of the Associated Press for this article on the LA Box Collective group show: “Windfall” at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles.

LA Box Collective is having a furniture show at the Craft and Folk Art Museum here in Los Angeles this Summer.  Everything in the show is made from trees that have come down in local storms–hence the exhibition title, “Windfall“. I am collaborating on a pair of claro walnut end tables for the show with my long time friend and woodworking colleague, JD Sassaman. We built the wood elements at my shop in LA, and I am now traveling to JD’s shop, Pier 9 in San Francisco, to do some 3D printing and casting of the interactive granite elements. Here’s a sneak peek of the piece in process. The show runs from May 29-September 4th.
