Woodworking for Mere Mortals is about making woodworking approachable, practical, and enjoyable — especially if you’re just getting started.

I’ve been building furniture and teaching woodworking for years, and I’ve learned that most people don’t need more tools or more complexity. They need clarity, confidence, and a place to start.

This site is where I share simple projects, clear plans, and beginner-focused courses designed to help you build real things without getting overwhelmed.
