The Vintage Veteran

TVV is moving into STS.

yeah, that's too cryptic. The Vintage Veteran continues woodworking, but with a new YouTube channel! Sawdust to Sales!

I'll focus on not just showing how to build something like every other woodworking video, but I'll also highlight the materials cost, time required, and what price you could sell it for! I'll do all the work and tell you what your hourly rate would be, before you even buy the wood!

Who am I kidding, you'll still buy the wood.

We go fully live this next month, but here's a short teaser of what style of content I'll be producing: https://youtu.be/ayqYezomwwc

Made by local veterans, and $5 from every opener goes to local veteran nonprofits. Numbers are limited!

This is the room where the truce was signed by Grant & Lee, effectively ending the Civil War.

We visited here on Memorial Day, fitting as the Civil War was the greatest loss of US soldiers, at over half a million.

As our country argues and bickers and some wish for "revolution", let us instead focus on what happened in this room. An agreement to end the bloodshed and save our union.
