Nick Offerman, woodworker, actor, and co-host of NBCs Making It, invites you on a hilarious and informative woodworking adventure that takes you behind the scenes of his very own woodshop.Nestled among the glitz and glitter of Tinseltown is a testament to American elbow grease and an honest-to-god hard days work: Offerman Woodshop. Captained by hirsute woodworker, actor, comedian, and writer Nick Offerman, the shop produces not only fine handcrafted furniture, but also fun stuff-kazoos, baseball bats, ukuleles, mustache combs, even cedar-strip canoes.Now Nick and his ragtag crew of champions want to share their experience of working at the Woodshop, tell you all about their passion for the discipline of woodworking, and teach you how to make a handful of their most popular projects along the way. This book takes readers behind the scenes of the woodshop, both inspiring and teaching them to make their own projects and besotting them with the infectious spirit behind the shop and its complement of dusty wood-elves.In these pages you will find a variety of projects for every skill level, with personal, easy-to-follow instructions by the OWS woodworkers themselves; and, whats more, this tutelage is augmented by mouth-watering color photos (Nick calls it "wood porn"). You will also find writings by Nick, offering recipes for both comestibles and mirth, humorous essays, odes to his own woodworking heroes, insights into the ethos of woodworking in modern America, and other assorted tomfoolery.Whether youve been working in your own shop for years, or if holding this stack of compressed wood pulp is as close as youve ever come to milling lumber, or even if you just love Nick Offermans brand of bucolic yet worldly wisdom, youll find Good Clean Fun full of useful, illuminating, and entertaining information.
