It’s been a few weeks since our last episode, Robin’s been unwell and the clocks changed for Bryan and Joey. But we’re back again and catching up on what we’ve been doing. And Joey made a table out of purple heart!

In a Shop Stool Podcast first, we talked to a kiwi woodworker this week! Jem Culpitt started his woodworking career as a hobbyist and after a couple of bunkbeds it all took off. In this episode he runs through his seemingly ideal rise from weekend warrior to full time woodworker.

Tonight we’re joined by Ross Williamson, from the north west of Brisbane. He’s a woodworker that, after some indecision in direction, came around to being an accomplished furniture maker supplying clients across the south east. He’s won awards for his pieces and even ran the gauntlet in a critiquing session hosted by some of Australia’s top woodworkers.
