From Infantry to CNC: How Woodworking Helped Nick Rebuild His Life
In this episode of the Handforged Podcast, host Frank sits down with veteran and woodworker Nick Pecos of Pecos Aesthetics, whose journey from military service and personal struggle to creative woodworking is raw, real, and damn inspiring.
