In this first full episode of season two of the Otis Brown Podcast, I reflect on why I picked up a shabby little cabinet on the side of the road and put more time and money into restoring it than I would have spent on making something good! Through a conversation about woodworkers James Krenov, Christopher  Schwarz, Roy Underhill and Shakespeare's 130th sonnet, I attempt to articulate a theory of second hand stuff and second chance lives. So, in the spirt of Malcom Butler (the patron saint of second chances), I start the second season of the podcast with some thoughts on all that.

Thanks
