Austin Waldo, of Austin School of Furniture, joins the show. Listen in as we hear about how a marketing and tech background mixed with a group of friends with a healthy woodworking fetish led this Austin from Austin to create a new school. We hear about the school’s start and successful pivots to adapt along with plans for the future ahead. A future made brighter by the Texas Woodworking Festival, coming this September 4th to Austin, Texas. A festival celebrating all things woodworking with a goal of creating even more.

Austin Waldo, Texas Woodworking Festival

Ben’s back from the Neligh Grain Mill window project. Phil’s been on the road to Marc Adams. And Ramon’s been marquetry classing, domino docking, and garden planting.

Stick to the script.

In this episode of @woodworkerspodcast Phil wraps up a box making class...Ramon preps for double-bevel marquetry...and Ben gets ready to start a window restoration at a Nebraska State Historic site. We thought it would be interesting to note the wide variety of people that we mention: Probably missed a few. @sawdustwoman @prattfinearts @mcintyrefurniture @woodwhisperer guild @toddfranktidwell @pantorouter.usa @marcadamsschoolofwoodworking @shapertools @randall_allan_woodworking @shawnkirsch @randalweber Michael Colca Troy Downey @chalkstonewoodworking @ramonartful @Philipmorleyfurniture Find us on your favorite podcast platform.

The incredibly talented, Sarah Watlington, joins us again. But this time we’re trying something a little different by going on a deep design dive with her about her absolutely stunning, Heron Chair. We felt it would be interesting to do a concentrated conversation on this one piece, and as it turns out, we think the feeling was a pretty darn good one. From its conception, as a design, designed to hurt, to its’ build evolution and construction, during a 2nd year 2nd semester at the Krenov School, we hear about the challenges and techniques of building something that speaks a familiar existing language and yet has something beautifully new to say. Hope you find it as interesting as we did. Join us won’t you?

Heron Chair, Sara Watlington’s

Furniture designer and maker, Sarah Watlington, joins the podcast. Listen in as we have the pleasure of hearing how she has carved out a spot for herself in the custom furniture world. From how her early interior design training led to more hands on finely crafted work that led her to The Krenov School, and how those trainings helped accelerate her to the works she does now as the project manager for Offerman Woodshop. Fabulous work and a fantastic conversation. Join us won’t you.

Long time no pod. The band’s back together! Same woodworking wanderings but with a new fancy sound system (the industry term is microphones). Phil gains an inch. Ramon likes a little inlay with a side of marquetry. And Ben’s got a finger-cam for Phil... Ahhh it’s good to be back!!
