Tell me you're a woodworker without telling me you're a woodworker... 😅

We stopped off at Tredegar House this afternoon on our way to our holiday home, and I was completely blown away by the craftsmanship. From the traditional joinery to the beautifully made furniture, you can really appreciate the skill, patience, and attention to detail that went into every piece.

You can take the man out of the workshop, but you'll never take the workshop out of the man. 👌🪵 Have you been to Tredegar House?

After finally getting the RatRig CNC up and running, it was time to stop talking about it and actually make something.

For its first real project, I designed and machined an adjustable laptop stand for the workshop. It's one of those simple ideas that solves an everyday problem, and it also gave me the perfect excuse to see what this machine could really do.

Coming from my old Ooznest CNC, having a much larger working area is already proving to be a huge advantage. Being able to load up a half sheet of plywood and let the machine get to work is exactly why I wanted to make the upgrade.

This is only the beginning, and I've got plenty more projects planned for the RatRig, so make sure you're subscribed if you'd like to follow the journey.

Thanks for watching!

Well... after what feels like forever, it's finally here!

A little while ago I uploaded this project as a YouTube Shorts mini-series, following the transformation of an old, tired bookcase into something completely different. A lot of you asked if there was a way to watch the whole build in one go, so here it is!

It's always interesting looking back over a project like this. You forget just how many little steps are involved until you see them all stitched together.

If you've got half an hour to spare, grab a brew and let me know what you think. And if you're new to the channel, I'd love to have you along for the ride.

You can watch the full build over on my YouTube channel now.

So, I'm sorry... not sorry... for posting a bit of CNC p**n.

This new RatRig CNC is the kind of machine I've been dreaming about for the last 10 years. Don't get me wrong, my Ooznest has been fantastic and served me incredibly well, but the limited cutting area has had me banging my head against a brick wall on some of the bigger, more ambitious projects.

Being able to throw a 4x4' half sheet on the machine, hit start, and walk away is an absolute game changer. I genuinely think that's the dream for most woodworkers.

I also love the design side of things, so this adjustable laptop stand became the first project to come off the new CNC today. Up until now I've always balanced the laptop on the edge of the machine, constantly waiting for the day it ends up face down on the workshop floor. Hopefully, those days are over!
