Channel 2 · Personal · The Shop Log
The shop log. Furniture builds in progress and finished pieces, notes from the jiu-jitsu mats, the chicken-and-garden campaign, things built for (and occasionally survived by) the kids, and bench-top electronics when there's time left over. There's never time left over.
Four boards, eleven clamps, twenty minutes of open time. A full build log with progress photos and the mistakes that made it better.
READ BUILD LOG →A matched pair with hand-cut dovetail drawers. Final photos, finish schedule, and the one drawer that fought back. [swap in your piece]
SEE THE PIECE →Competition footage, grip-fighting notes, and why drilling escapes pays better dividends than drilling submissions.
READ POST →Turning workshop square footage into mat space for family and friends — subfloor, mats, and a few design decisions worth stealing.
READ POST →Drip lines, a timer, and a rain sensor. An engineer's garden should water itself — and report telemetry. (It doesn't yet. See: The Bench.)
READ POST →Predator-proofing, an automatic door, and a cost-per-egg figure my wife has asked me to stop calculating.
READ POST →A weekend build with small helpers and large opinions. Plans, photos, and the safety-factor math nobody asked for. [your project here]
READ POST →Client provided requirements, revised them twice, and paid in approval. Best contract I've ever had. [your project here]
READ POST →The someday pile: garden telemetry over LoRa, a coop-door controller with actual closed-loop feedback, an SDR experiment or two. First one to escape the notebook gets a post.
