Can AI actually help woodworkers… or is it coming for our jobs?

In today’s video, I put ChatGPT (and AI in general) to the test inside the woodshop and explore 5 practical ways woodworkers can actually use AI—from getting quick woodworking answers to designing projects, solving shop problems, creating listings to sell projects, and even planning an entire workshop layout.

If you're a beginner woodworker, DIYer, maker, shop teacher, or someone trying to make money woodworking, this video shows real examples of how AI tools can support creativity without replacing craftsmanship.

In this video:

🪵 How AI can help woodworkers save time

My opinion? AI isn’t replacing woodworkers anytime soon—but woodworkers who learn how to use tools effectively may have an advantage.

Question for you:
Would you use AI in your woodshop—or do you think woodworking should stay completely hands-on?
