his Simple Wooden Kitchen Tool solves a problem you didn't know you had. Ever notice where your spoon and your pot lid end up while cooking? I got tired of messy counters, drips everywhere, and nowhere to set the lid… So I made one piece of solid wood that handles both—cleaner, simpler, and honestly overdue.

I built a small thing that solves a daily problem. Your desk doesn't need more clutter, it needs this. A solid wood cable holder for my desk to keep my laptop charger and phone charger cords from falling into the abyss. This simple woodworking project can be made using only a small scrap block of wood.

We're building a wooden earring organizer in this one! This simple woodworking project makes a great gift and displays earrings beautifully. I used Cherry and Mahogany but any hardwoods will work. This one is designed to be a wall mount earring holder, however, it could easily be modified to sit on a counter or tabletop. Definitely a great way to spend an afternoon working in the woodshop!

There’s a reason cutting board builds never really go away. They look beautiful, they're functional and there's a low barrier to entry. They can be as simple or as complex as you would like. I think they're a great opportunity to learn and hone your skills without a risk of losing days or weeks of work to a mistake. Mistakes in woodworking aren’t failures, they’re opportunities to learn. And most of the skills you’re proud of later usually start with something going wrong first. What’s something you ignored when you first started that you pay attention to now?

I decided to take some inspiration from my earliest woodworking projects and build a unique desk lamp using repurposed materials. This is a great woodworking project for all skill levels, you can make this as simple or complicated as you would like. I used a piece of Cherry for this project, as well as some brass hardware from old light fixtures I've been holding onto. A simple desk lamp to re-visit some old memories.

Nobody talks about it… but plastic cookware ends up in your food. Sunday series build, turning a block of wood into a functional kitchen ladle using the bandsaw and hand shaping. We had to pivot design halfway through, but that flexibility is part of woodworking. Overall, I am happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you want to see next week!

Most wooden spatulas aren’t actually designed for flipping. They’re too thick to slide under food, too short for leverage, and the edges are blunt. So I tried designing a pancake spatula that actually fixes those problems. Part of the series where we replace the plastic in our kitchens with wood, one tool at a time every Sunday. This woodworking project was made from hardwood and shaped on the bandsaw before being refined by hand. If you want to try making one yourself, I released the template bundle for the spatulas in this series.

Forget the flowers — make something she’ll use for years to come. This only took a few hours, but it’ll last a lifetime. If you’re stuck on Valentine’s gifts, this is your sign. I built this bathtub tray out of solid a Cherry 1x8 but any hardwood will work. You can make this woodworking project as simple or as complicated as you would like. Make one for yourself!
