Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop
Offerman's part-memoir, part how-to celebration of woodworking, with plans, photos, and an argument for the deep satisfaction of building things by hand.
The most hands-on of Offerman’s books blends memoir, woodworking philosophy, and actual how-to, complete with plans, techniques, and photos from his Los Angeles shop. He profiles his crew of makers, argues for the deep satisfaction of building things by hand, and walks readers through projects from a simple canoe paddle to fine furniture. It is equal parts humor and genuine craft manual, an invitation to put down the screen and make some sawdust.
