Welcome to season 5 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).

We’re back from Wood Dust 23 and it was an epic experience. We hosted a woodworking event, alongside Jimmy Diresta, April Wilkerson and Matt Estlea. Over the 2 day event in Melbourne these international makers worked with local woodworkers to build furniture on stage. There were some ups and downs but the crowd got a show from start to finish. In this episode we debrief and talk about our favourite parts. Also, Robin’s back in the workshop, finally, and working on an interesting project.

Matt’s all the way over in the UK but he got up early to join us on the show and talk about what makes him tick. He’s been through some stressful times recently with a workshop move but he’s remained positive and upbeat, and at the end of the day it’s all great content. Take a listen to how it all happened.

Jimmy Diresta. We got him on the show. Enough said right? We got an hour with the legend himself to talk about his upcoming trip to Melbourne for the Wood Dust 23 event, and we discussed how he designs and plans his projects.
