Passion for Craft Podcast

Listen in on this conversation with Christine Franck, an architect in Denver, CO who introduced Brent into the world of the 5 orders of architecture.

Brent talks about the idea of "what got you here won't get you there". How do you take your business to the next level? Do you create a new branch or do you restructure and reorganize the inside. Find out what path Brent took in this episode.

There are ups and downs to running a business. In this episode, Richard covers his latest struggles and what he has learned from them.

Brent discusses the obstacles his company had to overcome and the hoops they had to jump through to coordinate the construction of a 3 foot corinthian column. The guys talk about why you should never do this... and how they're planning on doing a doric and ionic one too.

The guys were excited to sit down with guest, Patrick Moore. Pat is a classically trained stereotomist who studied in a timber framing compagnon in France. Now he brings this lost art back to North America. Stereotomy is a skill that defined the way we built in the past we hope can be used to improve our craft today.

Season 3 is here! The guys are back together after a busy summer—Jackson shares about his internship, Richard talks about growing his company, and Brent catches us up on hiring new employees. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper reunion without some fun—Richard and Jackson kick things off with a practical joke on Brent. It’s good to have the trio back for another season of Passion for Craft.

The guys are back...all the guys. It's going to be a great year with some exciting conversations not only across the country, but the globe. As always, thank you for your passion for craft.

Join the Craftsmen for the last episode of Season 2! We are in Boston talking to Brock Leiendecker who is one of the two instructors for the carpentry program at NBSS.

The guys are back in Boston! Listen in as they connect with David Supple, owner of an architectural design and remodeling company in Boston. They discuss the origin of the AIA, and do some history sleuthing of a home that was owned by one of the Minutemen and modified over the years.

Brent and Jackson cover the topic of architecture. Where did it begin? How does it play into building today? What are some misunderstandings and problems in the industry?
