I am making the coffee tables that will go in the lobby of @hotelreset out of rocks and wood. The only 4 power tools I needed were my @ryobitoolsusa angle grinder, drill, jigsaw, and sander. I experimented with using @quikreteconcrete anchoring epoxy to create a smooth flat bottom and it saved me a ton of grinding time. This is the same epoxy I use for securing the threaded couplings into the holes I drilled in the rock. #furnituredesign #makersgonnamake #woodworking

Storms can give you free materials. This rock got washed out of our driveway in a recent storm and the mulberry log come frame a fallen tree. I used my @ryobitoolsusa chainsaw, angle grinder, drill and sander to turn these salvaged materials into a bench/media console/coffee table. This was a pretty easy DIY project that only took about 9 hours from and 5 hours of @ijessup sanding. #makersgonnamake #woodworking #furnituredesign #moderndesign #industrialdesign

I needed a spiral staircase for my boston loft so I made one out of plywood from Home Depot using a small CNC from @inventables along with my @ryobitoolsusa This was a 2016 project that made out of need but I like how it demonstrates that small robots can make big things when used strategically. CNCs have evolved dramatically in the last 7years and are now fairly common in woodworking. #spiral #woodworker #woodworking #stairs #stairdesign #architecture #cnc #cncmachine #cncmilling

We are getting ready for pool season in the high desert with some help from a friendly little robot! @wybot_official is compact but powerful and is really helpful getting wind blown sand out of our pool. 🔗 in bio #ad #wybot#wybotb1 #roboticcleaners #poolcleaner roboticpoolcleaner

1. I love chandeliers!
2. Why don’t I have chandeliers in my house?
3. Because I don’t have a good ceiling location :(
4. Let’s make chandeliers on the floor :)

Basically this is how the early stages of my design process goes. I got a laser in my shop that can cut steel precisely so I made a steel and glass coffee table. If you are one of those cool people that wants a powerful laser to cut things at home you should check out @xtool.official

Super simple DIY coffee table out of Fir beams. I used my @ryobitoolsusa circular saw to do most of the work and I kept my sanding time down by finishing the wood with my torch. For finish I have been using @rubiomonocoatusa in black. Basic wood working projects like this will be covered in my workshops @highdesertdesignweek

Sometimes we use axes @makerranch2.0

@makerranch2.0 is our new weekly show on YouTube where I answer viewer questions on art, design, home building, and rocks. We also make cocktails and you get to see my 🏡 in action

I am shipping this stone and wood bench so I had to make some sturdy crates. My @ups driver always jokes about needing to warm up when he picks up from me but at least I put handles on the crate. I use the same @ryobitoolsusa for building the crates as I do the projects and the new foam cutter came in handy for this one.Guess how much this one cost to ship from California to the east coast

I am teaching workshops on working with stone, wood, and concrete this August at @highdesertdesignweek I am still working in the schedule but it should be a lot of fun. This stone lamp is an example of the projects we will be making and all the materials and tools will be provided.

I uploaded a video showing the full process for these rock and wood coffee tables on the HomeMade Modern YouTube channel

Most people think design is something you buy.

But what if it’s something you do?

In my conversation with Ben Uyeda, creator of HomeMade Modern, we talk about access, making, creativity, and why building something yourself can change the way you see what’s possible.

One line I especially loved:

“Art matters because happiness does.”
