Sawdust Kitchen

Welcome to The Sawdust Kitchen—where shop class meets supper and perfect plans usually last until the first cut.

I'm Jon: a chef, woodworker, dad, and enthusiastic collector of projects that seemed easier in my head. Here you'll find approachable woodworking builds, useful projects for real homes, occasional chef tips from the Sawdust Kitchen, and every mistake, workaround, and questionable decision along the way.

This isn't a showroom full of flawless furniture and mysteriously clean floors. It's practical DIY, honest problem-solving, good food, bad jokes, and controlled dad chaos.

Subscribe, pull up a stool, and let's make something worth keeping.
