Grace, Grit & Grounds: Confessions of a Woodworker: A Day in the Shop

Sometimes the shop isn’t about finishing a project. Sometimes it’s just about showing up. In this episode of Grace, Grit & Grounds, there’s no bowl turning, no polished tutorial, and no pretending to be a master craftsman. Just a real day in the shop. Rolling tools out into the sun, sanding a massive hickory slab filled with cracks and epoxy, fighting with a stubborn lamp project made from a piece of wood found in Alaska, and reflecting on the beauty of unfinished work. Truth is, I’m still learning. Most of what I know has come through trial and error, mistakes, YouTube videos, and simply refusing to quit. But maybe there’s something sacred in that too. This episode is about craftsmanship, frustration, creativity, patience, and the quiet reminder that God often does His best work in ordinary moments and unfinished places. If you enjoy woodworking, reflective conversations, craftsmanship, faith, or simply slowing down for a little while, I hope this feels like sitting in the shop with an old friend.
