🎄 Introducing The Maker’s Table: A Holiday Special Series

Returning to the heart of the season — where handmade still matters.


Every year, when the holidays roll in, life seems to speed up. Stores get louder, the to-do lists get longer, and somewhere between shopping and schedules, it’s easy to lose the quiet joy of simply making something with your own two hands.


This year, at Third Shift Crafts, we wanted to do something different.

Something slower.

Something meaningful.

Something rooted in the reason we fell in love with woodworking, outdoor cooking, and winemaking in the first place.


And that’s how The Maker’s Table: Holiday Special Series was born.


A five-episode seasonal mini series, filled with warm storytelling, handmade inspiration, and soft reminders to breathe during the busiest time of the year.


It’s a place where wood shavings meet candlelight… where the smell of smoked turkey mixes with pine… where homemade wine sits quietly in the corner, teaching us the art of patience… and where the pace of life slows just enough to remind us how good it feels to build something real.

Why We Created This Series


Because the holidays are happier when they’re handmade.


We wanted to:

  • Celebrate the small things you can build with heart

  • Explore the meaning behind gifting something you crafted yourself

  • Slow down the noise of the season

  • Gather around a shared table — even if it’s a virtual one

  • Connect woodworking, cooking, and winemaking in one cozy place


The Maker’s Table is meant to feel like a warm cup of coffee in a quiet shop, late at night.A soft place to land.A reminder that you don’t need perfection — you just need presence.

Build, Pour, Gather — The Heart Behind Handmade Holidays


In our first episode, we explore why handmade things have a deeper meaning during the holidays… why woodworking, cooking, and winemaking connect us to what matters… and how slowing down to build for someone else changes the way we show love.


This episode is warm, grounding, and the perfect way to begin the season.

Pull up a chair.
