Everyone can make something cool and it doesn't have to cost the earth

I'm Dean, a 1974 vintage that came across woodworking pretty late in life.
Around the years 2000/2001 my health started degrading significantly. Over the years a variety of operations and diagnosis ensued, and it turned out that a couple of arthritic conditions and other things resulted in chronic pain and fibromyalgia which I have to live with forever.
Unfortunately it stopped my riding/customising motorbikes, having a 'normal' job, and to some degree having any idea of who I was.
Some years later and with the support of both my wife, various dogs, and my family, I've adjusted relatively well even though I can't really walk very well.
Woodworking was a huge help to my sense of self as well as a reason to exercise, and this is what I want to bring to others in a down to earth kind of way.
Hopefully my videos are like hanging out with a pal rather than an advert or professional informational film!

My Workshop

UK Single Car Garage Workshop

I work from a small UK single car (you couldn't actually fit a modern car in there) 1950's garage workshop.
It's had a bunch of changearounds already as I firmly believe workshops are a fluid concept, and need to adapt to your needs which you only find out through use (and the addition of new tools).

Perfection is the enemy of creativity

Something a little different?

My Designs

I'm a huge advocate of 3D printing in any workshop, for making tools, prototyping, fixing stuff and more. Part of that is that I like to design something that helps make my life a bit easier.
I have WoodworkJourneyProducts.com as a way of sharing my products, either to print yourself or to buy directly from me!

Creating something from nothing is extremely rewarding no matter the level of technicality
