About this item
After two New York Times bestsellers, Nick Offerman returns with the subject for which he's known best--his incredible real-life woodshop--in a program that includes five original songs. Nestled among the glitz and glitter of Tinseltown is a testament to American elbowgrease and an honest-to-god hard day's work: Offerman Woodshop. Captained by hirsute woodworker, actor, comedian, and writer Nick Offerman, the shop produces not only fine handcrafted furniture, but also fun stuff--kazoos, baseball bats, ukuleles, moustache combs, even cedar strip canoes. Now Nick shares his experience of working at the woodshop with his ragtag crew of champions, tells you all about his passion for the discipline of woodworking, and teaches you how to make two of the woodshop's most popular projects along the way: a Pop Top bottle opener and a three-legged stool.
