Why Troubled Waters?
Because the project is rarely all in one place.
Plans live in folders. Measurements land in notebooks. Inventory gets tracked on scraps of paper. Tool details hide in manuals, websites, and memory.
Troubled Waters is intended to bring those pieces together into one practical woodshop companion—organized around the work, not around another pile of files.
