INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO PODCAST 🔗
Join me as I document my journey from live-streaming to the workshop. I'm a dad who traded the webcam for wood glue and sawdust, and I'm learning woodworking one project at a time.
In each episode, we'll explore what it really takes to build a maker practice without breaking the bank. From workshop organization and tool choices to tackling first projects and avoiding the "you're not serious if you don't overspend" mentality, this is an honest look at the ups, downs, and lessons learned along the way.
Whether you're a seasoned woodworker, a curious beginner, or someone who just loves making things with their hands, you'll find practical insights, real talk about mistakes, and encouragement to start building, no matter where you are in your journey.
New episodes every week. Grab your tea, fire up the table saw (safely), and let's get to work.
