About Bobby
Welcome! I’m Bobby, the person behind the content on this site. I’m a woodworker in Southern California who is lucky enough to own a 3-car garage woodshop attached to a house, complete with dust collection and a pretty good workshop layout.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer by trade. My interest in design and desire to make stuff the way I envision drives me to create whenever I get the chance. The amazing array of tools now available, both woodworking tools and computers and online resources makes things both more challenging and possible. I'm constantly devouring all the information I can, sort out what's useful, and organize it all to support what I'm designing.
I will share as much as I know and learn by writing blog articles, posting sample designs, projects, photos, diagrams, checklists, and tool reviews to give you insight for your shop evolution. Here's to your ultimate woodshop!
