Woodworking for Beginners, by Charles G....

SHARON HANDY
About this episode

Let's saw some sleepy wood with more from this guide to getting crafty. This time, we finish fitting out our workshop with custom benches, cabinets and helpful devices, store our tools neatly, and eschew the useless dazzle of fancy toolchests. Efficiency, and the amateur's pocketbook, demand simplicity.

Lee Rosevere, composer of much of the background music on this podcast, has gifted us with a new work called "Timeless." So lovely! So chill! If you're interested in discovering more of his music (without me babbling over it), check out: https://leerosevere.bandcamp.com
