Hi there,
I am Fabi
and the face behind Bau-Woodworks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

How I got into woodworking<\/h2>

A few years ago I wanted to buy a new bookshelf. After endless hours of research and a few trips to furniture stores, I was frustrated. I couldn\u2019t find what I wanted. Either it was made out of cheap materials and looking awful or it was way over my price limit. So I decided to build it on my own.<\/p>

In the process of building, the skills my granddad taught me when I was a child, came in pretty handy. He used to prepare boards with nails and I could hammer them in, showed me how to use power tools, and knocked together almost everything I wanted to have for the house or garden with me.<\/p>

    After a few hundred bucks spent on materials and new tools, quite some hours of surfacing boards by hand, sanding and finishing, my live edge oak shelf was done. I added bowtie inlays and water pipes as feet. I was proud of what I\u2019ve created, but most importantly I\u2019ve rediscovered my passion for building cool stuff out of wood. The techniques I used to make the shelf like inserting bowtie keys, I learned by watching videos online and diving into the fantastic world of the maker community.<\/p>

    Shortly after our daughter was born, we moved into a house that needed a renovation. The perfect excuse for me to set up a shop in the basement and acquire even more tools.<\/p>

    Why I started Bau-Woodworks<\/h2>

    Woodworking can be a very solitary and intimidating hobby. But thanks to all the great people out there sharing their knowledge and putting their personality into their content I never felt alone along my journey.<\/p>

    With Bau-Woodworks I want to give back to the community and inspire others to pick up a tool and build something awesome. If you want to create something, I truly believe you can build it, even if it takes longer than expected. And it certainly always does.<\/p>

    Thanks for checking out my site.<\/p>

    Now go out and make some sawdust!<\/strong><\/p>
