I’m Louie, and I have no formal DIY or woodworking experience. My father and uncle did not work in trades, so I never had the opportunity to learn hands-on skills from them. I work a desk job in an office downtown, spending my days writing code, sending emails, and attending meetings five days a week. COVID-19 changed everything. Having more time at home, I began exploring woodworking and that's where this hobby started. I do not have sponsorships, paid advertising, or donations; I simply build what I can with the resources available to me.

I have always been drawn to the idea of creating something with my hands—something tangible, functional, and long-lasting. Unlike digital work, woodworking offers a tangible result that can be seen, used, and appreciated over time. Now, I'm building this site as a place to document the things I build or repair, and to hopefully encourage others who are interested in learning to get started. Excited to see where this journey goes.
