Shop Antics with Jared Patchin

There are countless articles and books written about the importance of creating and nurturing a distinct culture (or atmosphere) in the workplace. Thankfully, we are lucky to have one of those distinct workplace cultures. In fact, it arose quite organically, with no poking or prodding from yours truly.
 
Several guys (and the one gal) at the shop are comical by nature, and that side of their personality tends to manifest itself in non-stop puns. Yes, they are as cheesy as you might think, but it never fails to put a smile on my face.

How to add a walnut live edge to an industrial chest of drawers

Last summer I purchased this industrial chest of drawers at a garage sale for a sweet $20. My original intent was to put it into the backyard shop at my house, since these cabinets are great for storing a huge amount of stuff. After completing our home remodel this spring, we realized we really needed a small table next to the front door to collect everything that one tends to “drop off” when coming home.
