Most woodworkers spend years learning techniques the hard way — trial and error, wasted wood, crooked joints, and projects that end up in the scrap pile. What if you could skip all of that?
Kenji's Workshop: 100 Ancient Eastern Woodworking Secrets for the Modern Craftsman is the 112-page illustrated guide I put together to give you what took me decades to learn. These aren't theory. These are real techniques — Japanese, Chinese, and Korean methods that master craftsmen used to build furniture, temples, and tools that lasted centuries. Without a single nail or screw.
Here's what's inside:
→ Joinery that holds tighter than glue — mortise and tenon variations most Western woodworkers have never seen
→ Hand tool techniques that give you more control and cleaner cuts than any power tool
→ Wood selection secrets — how to read grain, predict movement, and pick the right species for every project
→ Finishing methods that protect your work for generations, not just years
→ Step-by-step breakdowns with illustrations so you can follow along in your own shop
This isn't a textbook. It's a workshop manual. Every technique is something you can try this weekend with tools you already own.
Whether you're just getting started or you've been building for 20 years, there are methods in here that will change how you approach every single project. The old masters figured this out centuries ago — you just need someone to show you.
Only $17. Instant PDF download. No subscriptions. No upsells. Just 100 techniques that will make you a better woodworker.

Discover the simple 2-minute chisel maintenance habit inspired by Japanese woodworking that can help keep your chisels cutting cleaner and sharper for longer. In this video, we explore the daily practices behind Japanese chisel care, including quick honing, stropping, removing burrs, maintaining the bevel, keeping the back flat, cleaning the blade, protecting carbon steel from rust, and knowing when a full sharpening is actually necessary. Instead of waiting until a chisel becomes completely dull, learn how frequent light maintenance can preserve a sharp edge and reduce the need for aggressive sharpening. We’ll also examine how proper technique, cutting direction, wood selection, and tool handling can affect edge retention just as much as the sharpening process itself. Whether you're a beginner woodworker, carpenter, furniture maker, DIY enthusiast, or experienced hand-tool craftsman, this simple routine can help you spend less time grinding and more time making precise, clean cuts. Watch now and discover the small chisel-care habit that can make a big difference in your woodworking.
