I started with wood as a young lad. Then I morphed into a metal guy, this is the fault of Jesse James. I started with sheet metal and automotive, now I blacksmith. Love, love, love making stuff with fire, anvil and hammer. It is empowering to take one of the worlds hardest substances and shape it with your will and fire. Society is a farce. Be a Maker, you will respect yourself in the morning. Forge On!
This is genuinely my ideal workspace and philosophy. I have a difficult conundrum with production vs. quality. At this time, I am unable to sacrifice quality for quantity. From what I have read from Nick in his excellent book, and seen from this video and others, I am grateful to know there are others who seem to put the quality of the product before the quantity.
When we go to Japan House at the University of see the cherry blossoms in Spring, we see (and sometimes sit on) the bench he made there to commemorate a sensei.
No chance this shop produces enough work to stay alive without his fame and $ backing. This is what you call a vanity project. Better than most vanity projects.
@LeeValleyTools I know Lee Valley sells tools in the US. I have bought from Lee Valley. That's not the question. Is Mr Offerman a Canadian? Maybe he doesn't like Mr Neilson? America should come first. Sorry Rob.

I want a tour of those bookshelves... A library inside of a shop is such a neat idea and a great way of keeping relevant info close
The dust sucks, but you’re right!
The whole "Inspired to Make" series on the Lee Valley website looks great. Really nice to see a company that is so inclusive.

Offerman is living the life I would choose.

As a woodworker I can say that it's great what you guys do

Him and his books are what got me into woodworking!
That is fantastic to hear!😊
I absolutely love this video series and thanks for sharing!

I worry what you just heard was "give me a lot of maple and walnut".
Nick Offerman is my spirit animal.
Am I the only one who thought that large round table with the brass lazy Susan reminded me of the round desk Ron was forced to have?
Everything I know about patience, I learned from woodworking.
I’m shocked that there is a fellow Watlington working in one of my favorite shops. Great video guys!
Thank you for such a nice video. Makes you feel warm about people and woodworking!

i've been waiting for an inside look into the Great Offerman Woodshop. Great Video
You'll enjoy episode 4 of our series - a tour of Offerman Woodshop!
There are two easily searched videos of shop tours. They’re really good. One, I think, is from This Old House.
When we go to Japan House at the University of see the cherry blossoms in Spring, we see (and sometimes sit on) the bench he made there to commemorate a sensei.
Okay I love this
Legend ❤
Wouldn't you just use Cardboard to build the model
Give your head a shake….seriously
Why are you still in California? FLEE!

No? What information do you base that comment on?
Why isn’t Lie Neilson sponsoring. America first.
Lee Valley is Canada
I like the table with the lazy Susan.
Respectfully, shut uuuuuuuup.
@dpmakestuff Why do you want silence? Do think America became great because people's silence or free speech?
Lee Valley is a Canadian based retailer that services all of North America. We share the same passion for woodworking as the Offerman Wood Shop.
@LeeValleyTools I know Lee Valley sells tools in the US.
I have bought from Lee Valley.
That's not the question.
Is Mr Offerman a Canadian?
Maybe he doesn't like Mr Neilson?
America should come first. Sorry Rob.
