#34 Santa's Workshop on the Homestead

This Christmas, I'm choosing to make instead of buy. In this video, I'm crafting wooden spatulas and a handmade Quoridor board game as gifts - demonstrating how we can break free from consumer dependency and create meaningful presents with our own hands. These aren't just gifts; they're a statement about self-reliance and the value of skill-building. If you're tired of the endless cycle of buying and want to give something that actually matters, this is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Why making gifts builds self-reliance and skills
How to craft functional wooden spatulas from scratch
Building a complete Quoridor game board at home
The mindset shift from consumer to creator
Practical woodworking techniques for gift-making

Perfect for homesteaders and anyone looking to reduce reliance on stores while giving gifts that carry real value through craftsmanship and intention.
