Newsletter: https://www.zhfabrications.com/ It's been a crazy month and a half--Okahoma, New York, Ohio, and Nashville. But I got to hang out with some of my favorite people: Johnny Brooke(Crafted Workshop) Jimmy Diresta Bob Clagget(I like to make stuff) David Picciuto(Make something) Brad Rodriguez(Fix this build that) Anyway, I thought it was time for a shop update, to let everyone know what I've been up to as well as what is in store for the future.
Plans: https://craftedworkshop.com/store/diy-modern-plywood-sofa-plans In this video, I'll show you how to build a modern sofa using a single sheet of ¾" plywood! The upholstery on this sofa was super simple and I used readily available materials to make the cushions. I have links to all of the items below, in case you want to build this sofa for yourself.
