commute was smooth today because apparently everyone stayed home. thanks for that, winter weather.

anybody else spend 45 minutes looking for the level just to remember it's in the truck? just me? ok.

found a drill bit i lost in september under the workbench. it's like christmas every time this happens

new year energy is creeping in early. already planning like 6 different projects. this will not end well.

the coffee shop was packed with holiday shoppers today. everyone looked stressed. i'm vibing with my thermos at home instead

weather forecast says snow this weekend. perfect excuse to stay inside and work on something ridiculous

my kitchen cabinets are 2 years old and still make me smile. totally worth the 8 months of work 😊

just finished a podcast series about old craftsmen and now i want to hand-plane everything in my house

thinking about building a new workbench in the garage. gonna take 4 times longer than i plan, guaranteed.

mild road rage moment: person in front of me going 20 under in a 35. i get it, it's icy, but also please just move

the 6pm darkness hits different when you're trying to finish a project. shop lights have become my best friend #diy_maker

holiday shopping stress is real. grabbed some woodworking bits as 'gifts to myself' and i'm not even sorry

my hands are covered in sawdust and i couldn't be happier. this is peak winter vibes for me.

december really said 'here's 4 hours of daylight, have fun with that' ☀️

it's not level but i love it™ — my new spice rack is tilted exactly 3 degrees and i'm keeping it that way

listening to this audiobook about furniture design and it's lowkey changing how i think about my next project

the commute this morning was BRUTAL. ice on the roads, everyone driving like they learned last week. podcast got me through it though.

why does every hardware store trip turn into a 2-hour expedition? went in for one thing, left with a new orbital sander i definitely needed 🛠️

just realized i've been staring at my kitchen for 3 months wondering if i should finally seal that butcher block. winter brain is real.
