I have sold items in the past, but unfortunately I have closed my online store and no longer sell items.

It varies widely.  I really enjoy reading wood magazine, and flipping through project books.  Frequently, I will make something that I found in a book.  If I do make something like that I always include a link in my posting of where you can find that book for yourself.  If you do make something from an existing plan don’t be afraid to customize it for yourself and make it your own.

To date I have been completely self-taught.  I have never had so much as a high school wood-shop class.  I have attended some wood shows where they discuss techniques and best practices; which I highly recommend.  Also, I belong to a local woodworking club (the Central Indiana Wood Workers Association) which is always a great resource for questions.  Woodworking shouldn’t be intimidating, so pick up a book, watch a few videos on YouTube and go for it.  You’ll be glad you did.

I get a LOT of questions about specific tools and my opinions on them.  I do have some tool reviews on the site where I try to be as fair and impartial as possible, but I simply haven’t had a large number of tools to review to give much advice on.

I shoot the videos I make with a Nikon D5300 camera.  I really like this camera, and it allows for more wide area shots which are great.  For the audio I use a Rode VideoMic Pro.  The Rode Pro Microphone is great for what I use it for.  A little pricey, but worth it.  For lighting I use two Softbox Lights that I picked up from Cowboy Studio.  Most of the shooting I do is an enclosed garage at night, so getting the lighting right has always been a little tricky for me.  For video editing I have used Microsoft’s free Movie Maker software, but I have been using Power Director version 11 for a while now and it seems to do everything I need.

Nope, just a hobby.  While I really enjoy woodworking it’s just a hobby that I’m really passionate about.

I started woodworking back in 2000.  I still consider myself a beginner(well maybe an advanced beginner), and really enjoy learning from others.  The main reason I started this blog was to share what I have learned with others.

The name started as Wood Blogger, but unfortunately that URL was taken.  Logger was then simply a play on words Logging my changes, or Logger.  That’s it..!  I have nothing to do with the timber industry…..

I use HostGator for hosting my site.  

I have a few free plans that I have made over the years that are posted on the site.  You are free to sell anything you make, except copies of the actual plans themselves.
