The Shop Stool Podcast

Welcome to season 2 of The Shop Stool Podcast, a podcast for woodworkers and the maker community in general. Hosted by Robin Lewis (RobinLewisMakes), Joey Chalk (King Post Timber Works), and Bryan Cush (Sawdust Bureau).

This week we discuss the pros and cons of different workbench designs, and what we prefer in them. After that we get into the recent crediting scandal that hit the maker scene, and end off with one of Joey’s nightmare clients.

What happens when you’ve finished an extra long project and you need to switch gears? Taking your head out of an all consuming project and putting it into something else can be a big step and sometimes you’re burnt out from that project already. In this episode we’re talking about creative burnout and how to keep that work life balance intact.

Welcome to season 2 of The Shop Stool Podcast, a podcast for woodworkers and the maker community in general. Hosted by Robin Lewis (RobinLewisMakes), Joey Chalk (King Post Timber Works), and Bryan Cush (Sawdust Bureau).

This week we talk about clients changing their minds on projects (or completely missing important details, as Joey found out) at the last minute. When is it ok to say no to a client, and should something be added to our contracts with them to ensure we don’t end up footing the bill. Whether it’s a last minute design change, or they’d rather have a gloss finish after seeing it in satin, these changes can drastically alter the schedule of a project.

Unfortunately we’ve had to bid farewell to Jordan Crawford. Our schedules are no longer lining up and Jordan’s busier now than he’s ever been. We’ve decided to go our seperate ways and we wish him all the best.

To replace him we’ve been lucky enough to call on Bryan Cush from Sawdust Bureau. Bryan’s been on the show before and we had a great time then, so the fit was perfect.

In this episode we learn about an environmental initiative that Bryan’s working on and how we can all do our part to combat climate change by planting a few more native trees.

If you’re interested in donating to an organisation that plants tree, or you just want to find out more about the subject, Bryan’s got a link on his website: https://www.sawdustbureau.com/treemaker
