Official Contest Rules:
Three standard 8 foot two by fours are required for this challenge. Each 2 x 4 has a specific time designated for how long each project should take per 2x4. Each Maker has 30 minutes… two hours… and a one day build… for each of the three 2x4’s respectively.

I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night... usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!

I have a passion for building things out of wood and all things woodworking. I am always looking for new projects that look fun and challenging. My woodworking inspiration comes from my kids, my wife, and the forests around my house. I consider myself a serious hobbyist and I hope you can learn something and get inspired from the projects and mistakes that I make. I will also show you how I organize and work in my small shop in 1 bay of my garage. I will share videos of my past, current, and future woodworking projects with the goal of getting you out in the shop making sawdust!
