Well… apparently 300 of you have looked at my chaotic little woodworking corner of the internet and said, “Yep. I want more of that.”

And honestly? That means a lot.

When I started this channel back in February, I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I wanted to build things, learn out loud, make some sawdust, probably mess up on camera, and maybe create a place where people could hang out without everything needing to be perfect.

Now we’re at 300 subscribers.

That’s 300 people who have joined the Sawdust Kitchen for builds, lives, questionable decisions with lumber, kids stealing the spotlight, and me trying to turn boards into something useful without losing my mind in the process.

Thank you to everyone who has watched, commented, shared, jumped into a live, encouraged me, or just quietly followed along. Seriously. It means more than you know.

Road to 500 starts now.

Let’s make some sawdust. 🪚🔥

Hey Kitchen Crew,

Big news… and honestly I’m still wrapping my head around it. 🤯

I’ve been invited to join Delan’s Handmade for a LIVE interview on April 2nd!

This is a huge opportunity for me, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of it. We’ll be talking about my journey, the Sawdust Kitchen, beginner woodworking, and probably a little controlled chaos along the way. 😄

If you’ve been following my builds, hanging out in the shop with me, or just enjoying the ride — this one’s for you. I’d love to see some familiar names in the chat!

So, join us this Thursday at 7 pm EST/6 CST for some fun, some laughs and a whole lot of this guy talks way too much. Thank you all for the support. Seriously. This wouldn’t be happening without you. 🙌

— Jon

We just hit 200 subscribers and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful.

To celebrate, I’m going LIVE today in the shop and doing 5 giveaways during the stream as a thank-you to everyone who’s supported the channel so far.

It’ll be a laid-back shop hangout, some woodworking talk, and I’ll draw all the winners live.

If you’ve been following along, I’d love to see you there — and you might walk away with something too.

Thanks again for helping this little Sawdust Kitchen grow.

🚨 Big things are coming, chaos crew. 🚨

We’ve been elbows-deep in sawdust, caffeine, and questionable design choices (the fun kind), and we’re just getting started.

Knot Your Average Furniture isn’t your grandma’s refinishing shop — unless your grandma was a total badass with a sander and a flair for dramatic transformations.

From rescued relics to bold rebuilds, we’re giving forgotten furniture a second shot at fabulous. Stay tuned for sneak peeks, makeovers, and maybe a few happy accidents we’ll pretend were intentional.

✨ Reclaimed. Reinvented. Ridiculously good looking. ✨

Follow along — the chaos is about to get chaosier....or something like that. Words are hard.

✨🪵 Welcome to Knot Your Average Furniture! 🪵✨

Around here, we believe furniture deserves a second chance—because, let’s be real, some of these pieces have better bones than half the people on dating apps.

I’m Jon, your resident chaos dad turned furniture flipper. What started as rescuing curbside castoffs “just for fun” has quickly spiraled into a full-blown obsession (send help… or more clamps).

At Knot Your Average Furniture, you’ll see:
🔨 Trash-to-treasure flips (the glow-ups are wild).
🎨 A mix of paint, stain, and sometimes a little reckless creativity.
💡 Inspiration for making your space feel like you (with flair you didn’t expect).

So whether you’re here to shop, snoop, or snag ideas for your own DIY chaos—welcome. Stay tuned for before-and-afters, project updates, and the occasional dad joke that’ll make you groan loud enough to scare the dog.

Because this isn’t average furniture. It’s knot. 😉
