What are we working on?

Build Article : https://craftedworkshop.com/scrap-wood-end-grain-end-table-build-woodworking/ In this woodworking project, I show you how to build an end table from scrap wood! This is basically a really thick end grain cutting board and is a great way to use up those scraps you've been hanging onto. Let's get started!

Q & A:

I'm a new woodworker and I'm looking for a "mentor" so to speak. I know there is at least one person near me (within a few minutes) that has more experience than me but I've never met him. How would you approach a person for a man date to talk shop with etc. without seeming like a creeper? There also aren't any local clubs around me to meet people through that way, thanks!

Zack and Johnny have any issues with clients not wanting you to do a video on their project? Do you ask up front?
