We have Mike Pietras on the podcast, a dude with over 40 years of woodworking experience, who will be teaching some of the advanced week-long classes at MontCo Makers. We're hanging in the shop and talking about some of his life experiences and what kinds of classes you can expect to see.

In this episode we discuss the difficulties of "testing" the assumptions of the makerspace as part of the business plan and how it's a different approach than creating a product. We also talk about if YouTube is a good starting point for new woodworkers and what to watch out for.

If you'd like to support the show, we now have a Patreon! All proceeds will go directly towards the MontCo Makers woodworking makerspace looking to open this year! We appreciate all the support!

We discuss the kinds of advanced classes we will be offering at MontCo Makers that would be week-long builds as well as working with designers as part of our commission projects.

Our first episode! I have Jake Rosser @jrosserdesign on today as he will be the Shop Manager at MontCo Makers once we're open. We have a typical discussion about the makerspace and what we'd be offering, how I got into woodworking and biting off a large project as my first real one, and how we work in our current shop, and various other topics as two ADHD dudes with beers do.
