About Me

My name is Eric Lindberg and I’m a 25 year-old woodworker from Michigan. I grew up playing hockey and baseball in a small town. Even when the seasons were over, I’d still be playing street hockey with my friends or backyard baseball with all the neighbors.

When I was 12 years old, I began filming and editing my own videos. A lot of these videos included goofy special effects that I added in post or simple street hockey edits with all of my friends. I quickly decided that the rest of the world shouldn’t be missing out on these videos, so I started up a YouTube Channel. After a couple years of posting videos, I only had a handful of views and even less subscribers to show for.

In 2012, I was heading into my freshman year of high school and decided I was going to take a wood shop class. This quickly became my favorite class to attend. I was taught the basic principals of woodworking and this really opened up my eyes to all the potential. I quickly became obsessed with it. I’d go home and watch all the woodworkers on YouTube at the time: Steve Ramsey, Steve Carmichael, The Wood Whisperer, etc. Through their videos I taught myself the different techniques and decided that I wanted to share my projects with others as well. So I combined my passion for videography and woodworking. In June of 2013, I posted my first project “How to Make a Baseball Bat Rack.” This was the start of the Woodworking Nut.
