About this Event

This event is Fully Reserved Seated on the Floor, and in the Balcony.


Accomplished woodworkers Nick Offerman and Lee Buchanan invite you to College Street Music Hall for an evening of conversation and tomfoolery with Little Woodchucks, their illustrated woodworking guide chock-full of projects to engage the whole family and teach young craftsmen the satisfaction of a job well done. Featuring a mixture of candid conversation, hands-on woodworking demonstrations, singing, laughter, and all the wood-centered fun a woodchuck can chuck, this book tour promises a romp of a show for any family of DIY enthusiasts.


Do you and your family have any woodworking questions for Nick Offerman?



LITTLE WOODCHUCKS

From New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-winning actor, and seasoned master woodworker Nick Offerman, a narrative woodworking guide with projects for the whole family.

In his longrunning hit Good Clean Fun, Nick Offerman brought us into his woodshop with personal reflections on woodworking alongside instructions to recreate some of his favorite projects. Now, in Little Woodchucks, the Offerman Woodshop is opening its doors to woodworkers of all ages with twelve brand new, family-friendly projects perfect for kids, from begginer projects like a handmade kite to more challenging offerings like a little free library.

Combining his signature wry humor with clear written and illustrated project instructions, Little Woodchucks is the perfect way to introduce young woodworkers-to-be to the joys and satisfaction of hands-on crafting.



NICK OFFERMAN

Actor, humorist, and woodworker Nick Offerman is the New York Times bestselling author of Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living, Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside, and Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop, as well as co-author of The Greatest Love Story Ever Told, with his wife, Megan Mullally. His onscreen credits include the Emmy Award–winning role of Bill in The Last of Us (HBO), Ron Swanson on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, and co-host and executive producer of NBC’s Making It. In 2025, Nick will be featured in Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning, Sovereign, Death by Lightning (Netflix), and as the voices of Papa Smurf’s brother in the Smurfs movie and Beef Tobin in the FOX animated series The Great North. Nick and Megan live in Los Angeles, California, with their pups and a fairly decent collection of assorted wood clamps.



LEE BUCHANAN

Lee Buchanan got her first taste of woodworking in the Kids' Carpentry program in Berkeley, California, at the age of seven. The passion stuck, and after stints as a scenic carpenter, then building science exhibits at the Exploratorium museum, she met a guy named Nick and spent a decade running his LA woodshop, designing and building furniture and carving a whole lot of mustache combs. Lee now lives back in the Bay Area, where she builds custom furniture as Lee Build, draws cartoons, bakes bread, and makes fun stuff for and with her two little boys in their home woodshop.
