How it all began

January 3, 2025

I started woodworking in the fall of 2015 with the help of my younger sister. I had purchased a house in the summer, and I wanted a table for my dining room. However, money was tight because my house needed a lot of work, so I decided I could save money by building a table. My sister has been building for a couple of years, and she agreed to help me. I spent a weekend with her in her garage, and she taught me the basics. She had already purchased the wood locally, sourced from seconds at a local cabinet shop. She also pre-glued and clamped wood sections together to make the chunky beams that comprised the legs of the table. She only spent $34 in wood. Today, that sounds incredible.

As we worked, she taught me to use the miter saw, a nail gun, and a Kreg Jig. I was hooked. I would never have attempted to use any of these tools on my own, but she had taught herself, and gave me confidence to use these and other tools. We had the table constructed and finished that weekend, but more importantly, I was energized by the idea of building my own pieces.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
