Home Built Workshop

Home Built Workshop Welcome to Home Built Workshop. I build things including guitars and share the videos with you. I'd love to have you follow along on this journey with me.

I truly believe everything is better if you can make it, or fix it yourself. You don't need a lot of tools or a giant shop to make awesome things. I cover topics like Woodworking, Leathercraft, Metalworking, Auto Repair, Guitar Building, and even some around the house projects. I feel that things like this are very important for us as well as our children to learn. With the declining shop classes

in schools now I try to teach these skills to my Daughter whenever possible. I make these projects into videos and share them with you on my YouTube Channel as well as here on Facebook. You can find all my links below. Thanks for subscribing to my channel, and once again, Welcome.

Please remember when using tools of any type, there is the potential for injury. Make sure you know how to use your tools properly, work at your own risk, be safe, wear your safety gear, and most of all, have fun!

Today I'm making a cool, one of a kind hoof pick from an old door latch. This project has it all, hand forging metal, flamed maple, and dont forget sanding. Even if you don't need to make a hoof pick, I hope this project inspires you to try to repurpose some things around your shop or home. What may look like scrap material might just be able to be made into something awesome.

While at the Colorado Guitar Show this year, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Brandon Tate and chatting about Hayley Guitars for a few. I met Brandon at last years show, so it was cool to catch up again this year. Check out Brandons video to see his view of the show.

Our Story

Welcome to Home Built Workshop. Everything is better if you can make it, or fix it yourself. You don't need a lot of tools, or a huge shop to make awesome things. I cover topics like Woodworking, Metalworking, Auto Repair, and even some around the house projects. I’m a musician as well, and love building and playing guitars. I started my own line of handmade electric guitars called Hayley Guitars. I bet you can’t guess why I chose that name. Thanks for stopping by and joining me on this journey. --Become a Patron-- https://www.patreon.com/homebuiltworkshop
