** New Wood Lab Video is Live! ** Link in the bio. This is the toddler size sitting bench that my coworker friend commissioned me to build for him as a gift to his niece. I delivered to him in December and I finally finished the edit! There are a couple of firsts for me on this project. I used milk paint for the first time and I'm really happy with the results. Poplar takes milk paint well. It gives color without a thick layer, keeping a nice "close to the wood" look. I also for the first time did carving using a trim router. After many practice pieces using a template and spray paint, I found the lines weren't the most crisp. That's when I went with adhering a printout to the board covered in blue tape, which I felt gave better results. Cleanup was done with a Dremel and then some sandpaper taped to a pencil's eraser. . . . #thewoodlabdotnet #woodworking #woodworker #maker #imake #make #milkpaint #carvingwithatrimrouter

Thanks Paul @paul_meyette !

And here the @darntoughvermont socks covered by my new @carolinashoe boots. It’s awesome how Carolina supports the maker community. . . #workwear #workboots #boots

@btevans07 Ben mentioned the @darntoughvermont socks to me a while back. I bought a bunch and should’ve done it back then. These are super comfortable! . . . #socks #workwear
