Not every productive woodworking day involves sawdust flying and clamps squeaking. Sometimes the shop door stays closed, but the projects still pile up.
Take today, for example. I didn’t even go to the shop — but somehow, I still managed to get a lot done.
First up was my phone case. It had a full‑blown photo shoot, striking poses from every angle. I swear I’ve taken fewer pictures at family reunions than I did of that case. After its modeling debut, I added it to my website and gave it a starring role on Etsy. Somewhere out there, it’s already whispering to other products: “I’m live, baby.”
Then came a new adventure: Lucas Gifts. With a few keystrokes, I launched a whole new venture without leaving my chair. No hammer, no nails, just a grin and a fresh project.
And to top it off, I quoted a custom sign order. By the end of the day, I’d moved three different projects forward — all without touching a single clamp.
The moral of the story? Sometimes the most productive shop days happen when you don’t even open the shop door.
Stick around — I’ll be sharing more shop jokes, funny stories, and lessons learned the hard way. Because woodworking isn’t just about wood, it’s about the laughs along the way.
