Making it With Z is all about making things. I'll be using this blog to share ideas, post unique step-by-step projects, and to give a closer look inside a one-man woodworking business.
Ever since creating my Etsy shop - ZachaTen - in 2020, I've been wanting to create a site to share more, give me more freedom, and to be better able to connect with others who share the same passion as me. A fall from a ladder resulting in a fractured heel in June 2023 gave me the spur I needed to finally sit down and make this site. Not being able to walk for months forces you to come up with other productive outlets for your time. (I can only watch so much Netflix and YouTube!)
I love making things in general and the process of dreaming up new ideas and then turning them into a reality in a dusty woodshop is what it's all about for me. It's just icing on the cake if I can also somehow manage to make a living by making things.
My "woodshop", better described as the two-car garage my wife's car got kicked out of, is located on the outskirts of Wichita, Kansas. This is where I spend hours building all the projects and shop items seen in my shop.
The site is brand new and there's not much here yet, but keep checking back for new stuff!
Thanks!
Zach Y.
