We live in a world full of variables, variables that could drastically change the course of our lives in a moment’s notice. It’s that unpredictability that makes consistent, immutable facts oh so appealing: Fish swim, birds fly, trolls troll, and Nick Offerman woodworks.

When Nick Offerman’s name comes up, the image of him in a flannel shirt standing in a workshop usually isn’t far behind. His love of woodworking is one of his defining features, a feature that he shared with his beloved Parks and Recreation character, Ron Swanson. It’s more than just a pastime, however: Offerman made a living early in his career building stage scenery for the theaters he’d act at, and later, building decks and cabins out in California. He owns his own shop, Offerman Wood Shop, and has even  written a book about his experiences with the craft.

He’s given various fine woodworking websites and aficionados access to his workshop before, and now he’s opened his immaculately-sanded doors to PBS and Ask This Old House’s Kevin O’Connor. O’Connor stepped inside Offerman’s customized personal workshop and Offerman shares some of the tips and tricks that he’s learned throughout his decades of woodworking experience. The episode, titled “Future House, Nick Offerman,” aired this weekend: check your local listings.
