Dear friend,

Welcome to Fernwood Studio—a small, unhurried place on the internet for people who make things with their hands. I'm glad you're here, and I can't wait to start sending you the sketches, half-finished ideas and shop notes that usually never leave my desk. A practice is a lonelier thing without someone to show it to.

Twice a month you'll get one letter: what I'm building, what went wrong, and the one tool I'd buy again.
