Books
Great writing has always been the most influential art form in my own life.
Books of all stripes continue to inform the development and direction of my thinking, and so it pleases me aplenty that I have had the opportunity to pen 4 books of my own for your reading pleasure, including one with my laudable bride, Megan Mullally.
Good Clean Fun
Misadventures in sawdust at Offerman Woodshop.
Featuring the woodshop’s ragtag crew of champions, this is the most delightful textbook I have ever seen. It’s full of insights, essays, and inspiring instructions to build your own wooden projects.
You’ll find a variety of DIY offerings for every skill level that include personal, accessible instructions by OWS members alongside mouth-watering color photos.
I also offer my own written recipes for both comestibles and mirth, humorous essays, odes to my woodworking heroes, insights into the ethos of woodworking in modern America, and other assorted tomfoolery.
Gumption
21 profiles of America’s gutsiest troublemakers.
In this book I explore the lives of 21 Americans who’ve shaped my world. From George Washington to Eleanor Roosevelt to Willie Nelson, I describe how and why these heroic women and men have inspired in me such great inspiration.
Paddle Your Own Canoe
Tales of meat, manliness, and Megan Mullally.
This is a book I have written, detailing stories from my past in which I behaved like a jackass. I also hold forth on topics like meat, mirth, and Megan Mullally.
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
Move over Antony and Cleopatra.
She loved art history, and I loved hammers. This is the unrivalled love story of a fair maiden who rescued a carpenter living in a basement.
This book reveals the philosophical mountains that Megan and I have conquered in our time together, the lessons learned along the way, and the myriad jigsaw puzzles we’ve completed, all within a single book.
