Welcome to season 2 of The Shop Stool Podcast, a podcast for woodworkers and the maker community in general. Hosted by Robin Lewis (RobinLewisMakes), Joey Chalk (King Post Timber Works), and Bryan Cush (Sawdust Bureau).

By now we’re all aware of the coronavirus outbreak and the devastating affect it’s having on people’s lives. Up until now we’ve steered clear of the topic because it hasn’t impacted us enough to warrant our thoughts. But that all changed this week when Joey announced his business is officially in crisis after the recent lock down in New Zealand. And while this is only one example, it’s just a matter of time before COVID-19 changes how we all interact with local businesses.

In this special episode we discuss the future of woodworking in this climate and how small business will look on the other side of this pandemic.

It’s not all doom and gloom though, we also celebrate Bryan’s first child, born earlier this week.
