Cutting a curve on a 3” thick butcher block is not for the faint of heart. However, I’m pleased with the results! #build #maple #butcherblock #maker #woodshop #woodwork #woodgrain #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
I love this pic because it captures so much detail. Bread board at the top. The the extension on the castle joint to support the bread board. Then the lap joint to connect the 2 legs. Then the plugs that anchor in the trestle support. Love it!

Castle joinery on the top. Lap joint on the bottom. Really love the castle joint! Takes a bit more time, but the strength and detail is completely worth it!

This 13’ table top joined together nicely! Took a little help from the @festool track saw and domino to get it done. Lines are straight and alignment was exactly as I wanted! Very pleased with the progress so far.

The castle joined legs will go with this bad boy!

🏰 Castle joinery for table legs! A good dado set made this easy! One pass in either direction on each leg. 8 total cuts is all it took!

That’s a long track! 13’ to be exact! You can see my jointer in these pics. Just can’t get that long of a run over a 6’ bed. Thankfully, the @festool tracks lock together and give a very true cut! #build #woodwork #woodshop #tracksaw #oaktable #woodworker #kentuckymade #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Get ‘em started young! Haven has been asking if she can help me in the shop. Today I took her up on it! She was so excited!
A little reluctant to use the @festool sander. But she really liked applying the @rubiomonocoatusa finish! #build #learn #teach #kidsofwoodwork #farmhousetable #sanding #finishwork #woodshop #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
My friend, Danielle asked “have you seen that show on @hgtv where the guy takes boards from the walls and make furniture?”
-I said “yeah, Ben @scotsman.co”
-She said, “can you do that? I have boards from the renovation of my parents house where I grew up.”
-I simply replied “Yep!”
-And with a little help from @carolinalegco ...we’ve got a table! #build #reclaimedtable #woodwork #woodshop #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

I’ve been working with @caleb_phelps on a start to finish video of the @vibecoffeeshop Hodgenville project. This is just a small clip of his excellent videography skills!! Looking forward to the finished product! #build #sawdust #woodslabs #sawdustismanglitter #festool @festool @festool_usa #woodwork #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Happy Father’s Day to the hardest working man I’ve ever known! I’ve learned so much just by following his example! #fathersday2020 #workwithyourhands #Godmadeafarmer #jesuswasacarpenter
I am an occupational therapist and a woodworker. Most of my time as an OT is spent working with students in a school setting. This is a perfect picture of those 2 works colliding!!! When Jaden’s mom sent me this pic...smiles and tears!

Maple farmhouse dining table is complete and in its home! @rubiomonocoatusa chocolate for the finish! Castle and lap joinery for the base...fun project!!! #build #woodwork #farmhousetable #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #woodshop #castlejoinery #lapjoinery #jesuswasacarpenter
All those pieces from earlier today have been assembled! First table base I’ve ever built with no screws and no dominos!! #build #castlejoinery #lapjoint #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #woodshop #woodwork #diningtable #jesuswasacarpenter
Working on my joinery skills with this dining table base. Mostly all lap joints with and angled castle joint to being the skirt boards and legs together...full assembly to follow this afternoon...#woodwork #joinery #build #diningtable #castlejoint #lapjoint #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Celebrating the opening of @vibecoffeeshop tonight! The girls were so excited! Haven had their hit chocolate and gave the best quote...”So, this is what I’ve been missing out on!” Love it!
If only all my Woodshop content were this cuuutttee and perfect! This is what it looks like when I say “don’t smile, don’t you dare smile!” Then you get this genuine, dimple filled smile!

Picture window seating @vibecoffeeshop in Hodgenville, Ky. These 3 slabs are the last of the 10 slab project. The slabs are from a log, the log was a tree, the tree was in the ground, behind this building it lays in now, ...and the green grass grew all around all around, and the green grass grew all around! (@campkentahten reference). This project, the beauty of the wood, the details in the build, the story that comes with it, the value that Vibe will add to the community...this is why I build...this...this is exactly what I signed up for!
Thanks @branchnbark for cutting the log, so I had something to work with!! #build #tellastory #wood #wooddesign #woodenbowtie #slabs #maple, #woodwork #coffeeshop #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #hodgenville #kentucky #jesuswasacarpenter
My first go at using wooden bow ties actually yielded 12 bow ties throughout this entire project. I like the added detail.

Making some onsite adjustments for the herringbone panel. Luckily, my friend @caleb_phelps agreed to take pics and videos of the process! Love this action shot! He’s good with the 📸! @dewalttough gets the job done pretty well too!

Dealing with full slabs is always fun because they’re always unique. This is especially true with the @vibecoffeeshop project as this was once a tree that stood behind the building that is now the coffee shop! To be given the opportunity to design and build with a deeper meaning is something I’m extremely grateful for!
