Hey! My name is Michael Mills and I am person behind MMillsWoodworking! I have been woodworking/DIYing for the past four to five years in southern California. Like most, I started because I needed furniture for my house but I didn’t want to pay for it. I grew up in a family where we did everything ourselves and I dove in head first with a pocket hole jig in my left hand and a drill in my right! I haven’t looked back since then, but now I am trying to work less with pocket holes and more with dovetails.

Thanks for following along! Be sure to check out my Instagram!
