How I Started Brouwer Woodworking

Blocks of Wood

My wife and I bought a home with a single stall garage 5 years ago. The garage had one 60 watt light bulb and one outlet! All I had at the time were a few basic carpentry tools and some saw horses. I knew I wanted to make projects and be able to fix up my house and in order to do that I needed more tools. I scrapped metal and did odd and end jobs outside of work to build up my tools. Before I knew it I was taking an extension cord from my one outlet plugging in and unplugging to different tools... I needed more outlets. A family member was able to help me put a new  electrical panel in the garage allowing me to put outlets every 4 feet along the walls, install LED lighting, put in a heater and before I knew it I find myself hoarding wood and being able to build coffee tables, cutting boards, charcuterie boards and many other projects you can check out in my GALLERY.
