I love New Yankee Workshop! My favorite piece is the Shaker clock. So simple and beautiful. I want to make that someday

Anyway go ahead and send me a thumbnail and I’ll change it. We occasionally have woodworking contests here and will set the winning entry as the thumbnail, but this one has been up since the summer so let’s mix it up! Keep it fresh and sharp

Done. My dad actually was inspired by norm to kick-start his hobby and now side job to build furniture. We love the shaker (we call it mission here) style furniture.

I love that. You should post some of his work here. We would love to see it.

I changed the icon - unfortunately the rectangle image doesn't fit great in the circle but I think folks will get it. At least you and I do. If you check out our sidebar I wrote a little something there too. Thanks!
