As a product designer that’s far from the furniture space, I really enjoy this podcast. Thoughtful conversations, fascinating guests. Keep up the great work!
As a fellow furniture maker, it’s refreshing to hear professionals at the top of their game sharing their experiences. Just finished episode 2 with J Rusten, at the end he called furniture making a “lonely pursuit”. That struck a chord with me, and this podcast makes it a little less lonely. Thanks Pete!
Being 22 years into my own woodworking career, it’s nice to hear the diverse journey of how other woodworkers arrived on their own path. Great interviews!
