The Wood Whisperer Guild

Hey Guild friends, It’s Watch Along Wednesday, for January 21 at 8 pm EST, and this week is a really fun mix of modern woodworking, smart joinery, and a little old-school inspiration. We’re getting together live to watch, pause, rewind, and chat through a handful of videos that all approach furniture making from slightly different angles. No links, no watching ahead, the whole point is that we experience these together and talk through what’s working, what’s clever, and what we’d do...

Hey folks, When you’re deciding what to work on next, I think it helps to shift the question a little. Instead of “What should I build?”, try asking, “What do I want to learn?” Woodworking rewards repetition and intention. The biggest gains usually come from slowing down and doing the fundamentals really well. Here are just a few areas worth spending time on. • Work with characterful lumber: Boards with knots and wild grain force better layout, grain reading, and problem solving• Build...

Looking to grab some of that sweet Woodworker Fuel Coffee? Get it while you can! As a kid, I loved rearranging my bedroom. It wasn’t about buying new furniture or adding more stuff, it was about seeing how small changes could completely change how the room felt and how I used it. That same instinct has followed me into the shop, especially when it comes to shop layout. Over the years, I’ve learned that shop efficiency rarely comes from major overhauls. More often, it comes from stepping back...

Hey Guild friends, It’s Watch Along Wednesday, and on January 14 at 8pm EST (basically now!) we’re diving into slabs, resin, and the moment woodworking starts to blur the line between hobby and profession. We’ll kick things off with Matt Cremona’s Waterfall & Resin Table course, starting with the Introduction and the Milling and Drying Slabs videos. These sections are packed with practical insight on working with large slabs — from handling and milling to moisture management and long-term...

Welcome back, and happy new year! We’re excited to kick things off with our first Watch Along Wednesday of the year tonight at 8pm Eastern! If you’re new, or just need a reminder, Watch Along Wednesdays are meant to be a casual, low-pressure, “water cooler” way for the community to come together. We tend to watch older woodworking videos, chat, share ideas, and enjoy some shop talk together for about 45 to 60 minutes. No prep work, no pressure, just a relaxed way to connect with fellow Guild...
