Exciting New Updates!


Hey Reader,

I have new and exciting news!

I just finished completely rebuilding biscuittreewoodworks.com from the ground up! The old site was getting a bit clunky, so I wanted to create something cleaner, faster, and much easier to navigate whether you are looking for specific project plans or just browsing. The checkout process is also a whole lot smoother now, which should save you some frustration.

After getting lots of questions, I finally put together a brand new lineup of Biscuit Tree merch!

I wanted to make sure these weren't just cheap, generic shirts, so I sourced some really high quality, comfortable gear and spend a lot of time personally designing them to make sure these shirts are something you'd actually be excited to wear!

Here is a quick look at what just dropped:

  • The "Pine is Fine" Tee: A nod to our favorite budget-friendly project material.
  • The "I'll Be in the Garage" Tee: The universal sign for "leave me alone, I'm building.
  • "The "I Drink and I Make Things" Tee: For those weekend evening shop sessions.
  • The Logo Hats: I made two styles for these. One is a classic distressed cap with the printed logo, and the other features a custom leather logo patch.
  • Not a fan of black: Everything is available in a wide range of colors!

Whether you want to grab a new shirt for your own shop sessions or you just want to check out the new look of the site, you can head over to the link below.

Thanks as always for supporting the shop and being a part of this community.

Now go build something awesome!

This generated $4,419 raised for the veterans and Purple Heart Project! As promised, I am contributing my personal pledge of $2,500, and I’ve decided to round the final total up for a grand...

Videos | Plans | Tools Hey Reader, I think we all get a little bit of "analysis paralysis" when we’re about to cut into a nice piece of walnut or cherry. You’ve spent the money on good quality lumber, and you don't want to blow it on a simple mistake. The best way I’ve found to get past that is to test your setup on some scrap pine or plywood first. Once you’ve cut that joint or shaped that curve on a piece of scrap wood, you can be more confident everything will go right with the more...

Videos | Plans | Tools Hey Reader, Accuracy in the shop usually comes down to the smallest details. A standard carpenter’s pencil is great for framing a house, but for furniture or shop jigs, that thick lead isn't ideal. A dull pencil line can be 1/32 of an inch wide. If you’re off by a "pencil width" on both sides of a board, your piece is suddenly a 1/16th off. Do that a few times, and nothing fits. Try switching to a 0.5mm mechanical pencil or even a marking knife. When your line is...
