Sam Adams Sanctuary

The woodshop is my sanctuary, of all the hobbies I have, building furniture really soothes my soul. After a crazy week at work, to head to the shop and hear the roar of the tools or spend the time hand planning a board is heaven. The smell of the wood as I cut and sand enhances the experience, the different aromas between tiger maple, African mahogany and cherry is like walking through the kitchen when someone is roasting garlic, pickling green beans and baking an apple tart. The time it takes to fit joints together with precision is peaceful. I haven’t spent that much time in the shop lately because work has been out of control busy. Today no blackberry, no interruptions, a cup of coffee and my faithful shop assistant Mr. Peabody. We have a simple project ahead of us; we need to build two shelves for my upcoming trip to Aspen, Colorado for the Aspen Food & Wine Festival which I will be serving our food on these at the Sam Adams booth next Saturday, stop by and say hellow if your in Aspen!
