I was sitting in my workshop last Tuesday—it’s really just a corner of the garage that smells perpetually of cedar and old coffee—staring at a piece of walnut that cost more than my first car’s tires. I wasn’t actually working. I was just… looking at it. Running my thumb over a knot in the grain … Read more

I spent about forty minutes this morning staring at a screen, and I couldn’t tell you a single thing I actually learned. It’s a familiar feeling, isn’t it?

To be honest, I think it might be. This isn’t the first time I’ve struggled with something as seemingly simple as … Read more

I was sitting in my kitchen the other morning, just staring at this old, dented toaster. It’s one of those heavy, chrome-sided things from the late nineties that probably weighs more than my laptop.
