Stubborn Carpenter

Too stubborn to quit.

Everything he's survived — and still growing.

Scarred hands guiding a hand plane along an oak board, shavings curling off the bench
01 · The workshop

Carpentry

Built by hand. One piece at a time.

Oak, sharp chisels and patience.

No shortcuts, no flat-pack.

First pieces soon

02 · Training

Personal Training

No fancy gym.

Logs, a scaffold bar and a kettlebell.

Strong for the work, and what comes next.

Hands chopping fresh vegetables on an oak board at the end of the workbench, beside eggs, oats and a bowl of salad
03 · Diet

Diet

Simple food, made at the bench.

Changing what he eats, one meal at a time.

Real meals. No fads.
