Meet Mr. Wrong: The Man Behind Doing It Wrong Woodshop

Hello, dear readers, curious wood enthusiasts, and lovers of fine craftsmanship who’ve somehow stumbled into the wonderful world of Doing It Wrong Woodshop! You’re in for a treat today because it’s about time you met the man, the myth, the maker who makes it all happen—Scott Gray, also known as Mr. Wrong. (Yes, you read that right.)

The Origins of Doing It Wrong Woodshop: A Tale of Happy Accidents

Before we dive into Scott’s illustrious (and occasionally dubious) woodworking journey, let’s rewind a bit. Picture this: A not-so-young, but definitely wide-eyed Scott, armed with little more than a hammer, some wood, and a dream, sets out to create his first masterpiece. It was supposed to be a table—a simple, sturdy table. What emerged, however, was a…well, let’s call it a reinterpretation of what a table could be. The legs were at odd angles, the surface had more curves than a country road, and the whole thing wobbled like a newborn foal.

Most people would have thrown in the towel. But not Scott. No, Mr. Wrong took one look at that table and saw potential. “Doing it wrong,” he mused, “might just be the right way to do it.”

And thus, Doing It Wrong Woodshop was born—a place where imperfections are celebrated, quirks are embraced, and every piece of furniture has a story (and occasionally, a learning curve).

The Man Behind the Madness: Scott Gray, Mr. Wrong

Now, let’s talk about Scott Gray, the mastermind behind this glorious operation. Scott didn’t start woodworking as a young prodigy—no, he found his way to the craft later in life. Before wood became his muse, he was busy mastering other trades, tinkering with various projects, and generally being the guy who could figure out just about anything (often in the most unconventional ways). When Scott finally did pick up woodworking, it wasn’t so much a new skill as it was a natural evolution of his lifelong habit of doing things just a little differently.

His unique approach to woodworking isn’t about following the rules—it’s about rewriting them, or sometimes just tossing them out the window entirely. But don’t be fooled by the playful moniker. Scott’s “wrong” approach is rooted in a deep understanding of wood, a love for craftsmanship, and an eye for detail. His pieces may not always follow traditional norms, but they’re always crafted with care, creativity, and a touch of whimsy that you won’t find anywhere else.

Why “Doing It Wrong” Is So Right

At Doing It Wrong Woodshop, we believe that the best pieces of furniture aren’t the ones that blend into the background. They’re the ones that make you stop, stare, and think, “Wait…is that supposed to be like that?” The answer, of course, is yes. Because in the world of Mr. Wrong, the only rule is that there are no rules. (Except maybe “measure twice, cut once,” but even that’s flexible.)

So, whether you’re looking for a custom dining table that defies convention, a chair that challenges the notion of balance, or a bookshelf that doubles as modern art, Doing It Wrong Woodshop has you covered.

Come on by the shop, or drop us a line—Scott’s always up for a chat about wood, design, and the beauty of doing things just a little bit wrong. Because sometimes, wrong is just right.

Until next time, keep doing it wrong (or, you know, right).

Cheers,
The Doing It Wrong Woodshop Team
& Mr. Wrong, Scott Gray
