Can we talk about the underrated side of joinery in real life
I tried this in Buenos Aires with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 10 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.
The detail that surprised me was how much the kitchen changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.
I started this because my rainy evening felt a little stuck, and tools seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
