The Dirty Meerkat Workshop website and content was established to share projects and allow others to follow along on my journey in the workshop.
I can trace my beginnings back to shop class in junior high school. It started with a few projects in class such as a tv stand, gun box for my BB gun and even a wake board made of plywood (that I never got around to trying out). Also around that time and later on I was making things working with my father on a multitude of projects around the home. Such projects included building a deck, bookcases, a gazebo or two, a new computer desk and even a full size arcade machine.
Life progressed and other projects were made to varying degrees of difficulty and satisfaction. But with each new project lessons are learned from the mistakes made and from the experience gained with the new tools and new techniques we try out.
I’ve been fortunate to move on from my last workshop being half of my two care garage to a larger dedicated workspace. This is where the Dirty Meerkat Workshop starts and where more projects begin and continue. Feel free to follow along.
