Listen in as we discuss how his early interests in both woodworking and music culminated to shape and form his life, by using both to help create functional beauty with his hands. A beauty that can not only be seen, felt and heard, but also, one that lends itself to the creation of beauty within others.

Austin Waldo, of Austin School of Furniture, joins the show. Listen in as we hear about how a marketing and tech background mixed with a group of friends with a healthy woodworking fetish led this Austin from Austin to create a new school. We hear about the school’s start and successful pivots to adapt along with plans for the future ahead. A future made brighter by the Texas Woodworking Festival, coming this September 4th to Austin, Texas. A festival celebrating all things woodworking with a goal of creating even more.

Ben’s back from the Neligh Grain Mill window project. Phil’s been on the road to Marc Adams. And Ramon’s been marquetry classing, domino docking, and garden planting.

Stick to the script.

In this episode of @woodworkerspodcast Phil wraps up a box making class...Ramon preps for double-bevel marquetry...and Ben gets ready to start a window restoration at a Nebraska State Historic site. We thought it would be interesting to note the wide variety of people that we mention: Probably missed a few.

Phil’s outsourcing the woodworking so he can play more with his tambouring. Ramon’s turning the turret on the Valdez jig inventory, along with working on the Origin of some inlayquetry. And Ben’s been lost in the world of bid-land for so long he still thinks OSB only costs $28.
