About

Hello there! I’m Christoph, the person behind hashtagsheep.

By day, I’m a software engineer… sort of. But when I put on my tinkering hat, it’s all about woodworking, 3D printing, and making things I can touch.

My journey into making things started way back in childhood, tinkering alongside my grandpa (who, conveniently, was a shop class teacher). Together we worked on wood projects and traditional crafts. Years later, after moving to Sweden for work, I finally set up my own tiny shed, a small but mighty workshop where I build, learn, and occasionally curse when things don’t go as planned.

While this blog is mostly about woodworking and maker culture, you’ll also find 3D printing tips, project write-ups, tool reviews, and personal stories from the shed. Expect beginner-friendly guides, honest advice, and the occasional sheep pun (you’ve been warned).

Why a blog?

I consume a lot of maker content myself, but sometimes I miss good old-fashioned writing. Videos are great, but there’s something special about sitting down and reading at your own pace. Writing also feels natural to me: it’s how I process and share what I learn.

In short: this blog is as much for me as it is for anyone reading. If a community grows out of it, that’s just a bonus.

Why sheep?

Simple: Because sheep are great. They’re clever, soft, and quietly wonderful.

The “hashtag” part? Just my way of poking fun at modern internet culture while still being part of it.

Powered by my wife’s support

None of this would look as good without my amazing wife. She built this blog and helps me shape content when I get stuck in tool nerd territory. Without her, you’d probably be looking at plain text and half-finished drafts. Thanks for making this little project shine.

Join the flock

If you’re into woodworking, making, or just enjoy following nerdy projects, feel free to stick around. You’ll find me here on the blog, and on Instagram, Mastodon, Bluesky and MakerWorld, too. Maybe even YouTube one day.

Welcome to my shed! 🐑🔧🪚
