Fermín Lorda’s Wood-and-Work Ledger

ferminlorda.com Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Spanish-language personal site about carpentry, failed business experiments, and the attempt to make a life around working with wood.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The project is framed as a working record rather than a renovation reveal. Lorda plans to explain why he keeps or replaces elements, which materials he selects, where unexpected costs appear, and what changes after opening the walls. The surrounding story includes a self-built home and workshop, loans, an unsuccessful tiny-house business, an online shop, videos, a podcast, courses, and LookWood. The page states that more than 13,000 people receive the newsletter, though that figure is not independently verified here.
