My son operating the orbital sander

Woodworking with my son

Sometimes the best projects aren't about what you build, but who you build them with.

Sometimes the best projects aren't about what you build, but who you build them with. I am trying to make the most of the fact that both my son and I really love making things.

My son picked the project - a cutting board from a children's woodworking book. We're using Elm and Birch for this project. This was a quick but fun project we both enjoyed immensely. Good father son woodworking bonding time.

Midway through this build, I share something personal about my regrets around not making enough time for creating things.
