Sam & Victoria, together
Roots
This is where we step away from our separate worlds and make something together. No screens. No recipes. Just hands, tools, and raw materials. Woodworking, pottery, and whatever else we decide to build — together, from scratch, figuring it out as we go.
“The best things we make aren't the finished pieces. It's the hours in the shop, standing next to each other, figuring something out.”
From the Workshop
Workshop content is coming. Follow along as we set up the shop and start our first projects together.
What We Make
Three kinds of making. All by hand. All together.
Woodworking
Furniture projects, cutting boards, shelving, and home builds. Sam brings the engineering brain, Victoria brings the design eye. Together they figure it out — sometimes with plans, sometimes without.
- Custom furniture
- Cutting boards & kitchen pieces
- Shelving & storage
- Outdoor builds
Pottery
Handmade mugs, bowls, planters, and whatever else happens on the wheel. The whole process — from raw clay to finished glaze — is part of the story. Including the pieces that don’t survive the kiln.
- Wheel throwing
- Hand building
- Glazing experiments
- Kiln openings
Maker Projects
Everything else they build by hand. Home improvement, garden structures, holiday gifts, restoration work. If it involves tools and a willingness to learn, it ends up here.
- Home improvement
- Garden structures
- Restoration & repair
- Holiday handmade gifts
Series & Stories
Not just the finished product — the process, the learning, the messy middle.
From the Shop
Workshop vlogs and project walkthroughs. Start to finish, including the parts that go wrong.
Made Not Bought
Things they build instead of buy. A cutting board, a coffee table, a set of mugs — the homemade version.
Pottery Date Night
Sam and Victoria at the wheel together. Messy, funny, and surprisingly competitive for two people who say it’s not a competition.
Seasonal Builds
Handmade holiday gifts, garden planters in spring, outdoor furniture for summer, cozy home pieces for fall.
In the Shop
Table Saw
The backbone of any woodshop. Most projects start and end here.
Potter’s Wheel
Where raw clay becomes something. A meditative machine.
Router
Edges, joints, and details. Makes good woodwork look great.
Kiln
Fire transforms clay into ceramic. Every opening is a surprise.
Hand Planes
Slow, quiet, precise. The most satisfying tool in the shop.
Clamps
You can never have enough. Seriously. Never.
From Our Hands
Work in progress, finished pieces, and everything in between.
The Shop
We're working toward offering pieces we make — handmade pottery, woodworking, and maybe some things we haven't thought of yet. Made by us, sold by us. Sign up for the newsletter to be first to know when the shop opens.
