Shop Notes & Rambles
The Rambles are the stories lived and learned over decades — the moments, the lessons, and the shop life that shaped the craft. They accumulate here, sorted by publish date. If you want the curated version, explore the Workshop Library.
PHOTOGRAPHY
A Ramble about how photography shaped the way I see my woodworking — from a Grade 11 darkroom to the shop I work in today. This story explores the craft of noticing: the textures, the tools, the moments worth saving, and the way a camera turns everyday work into something lasting. Photography isn’t a side hobby. It’s how I document the builds, honour the craft, and capture the stories behind every cut.
