"BOURBON MOTH WOODWORKING IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST AN INDIVIDUAL PIECE OR STYLE, IT'S ABOUT TAKING SOMETHING ORGANIC AND NATURAL AND RESHAPING IT, GIVING IT A PURPOSE AND PLACE IN YOUR HOME AND DAY TO DAY LIFE.
My main goal is to build awesome stuff and share those builds with as many people as I can. If I can do that without being boring and hard to listen to thats a bonus.
I have been fascinated with building things by hand from a very young age. In a world consumed by mass-production, there is something so gratifying in the slow and meticulous process of creating a unique piece from start to finish" (excerpt from bourbonmoth.com).
This video explores the current life of Jason Hibbs otherwise known as "Bourbon Moth" in his career of custom woodworking turned into a full time commitment to content creating.

The woodworking community has absolutely been an awesome thing. It amazes me how supportive everybody is with each other in general.

For the first time in a few videos it didn’t make me cry, mostly because Jason is so funny and the dramatization had me hanging on the edge of my seat, I wasn’t sure if he would be murdered at the end. I’m glad he wasn’t. It would be ashamed. The closest I came to shedding a tear was over how BEAUTIFUL his work is, it borders on disgusting. Disgust at myself for not being this good at anything in my life...and now I need therapy. Thanks Justin Mabie and Jason Hibbs! Sincerely though a wonderful video on yet another wonderful person in the maker community ❤️❤️❤️! I’m so proud of you Justin!
