About the shop
One woodworker, one garage, a drafting table
I'm Wes Harlan. I build furniture in Halloway Mills and draw up the plans so you can build it too.
How the plans started
In 2014 a neighbor asked how I'd made the step stool on my porch. I drew it on a legal pad. She built it, it rocked, and I realized the drawing was missing two things I'd done without thinking.
That's been the rule since: a plan isn't finished until somebody else can build it from the paper alone. I build every piece twice, the second time only from my own drawings.
