Spoken Wood Podcast
Welcome to the Spoken Wood Podcast a show dedicated to bringing to life the writings of some of my favorite woodworking bloggers on the internet. I don’t know about you, but I’m most inspired to do my best woodworking after I’ve read a great article in a magazine or online at one of the many, many blogs I follow.
Seeing what the authors have achieved. Reading about the steps and techniques they use successfully to reach the end results I’ve been desiring in my own projects (or have been convinced I couldn’t achieve) is inspiring. Stories of real-life situations, both comical and mundane, reminds us that no matter what our skill level in the shop is currently we’re not the only ones that have struggled with or sought to improve our woodworking abilities.
I’m a firm believer in learning by trying. It would be amazing if we could just pick up a tool and achieve the end results we desire on the first try, but that’s not the reality of the real world. Mastery only comes through failure and learning from that failure. But that doesn’t mean we have to do it alone.
We all wish we had someone who would take the time to teach us the skills and techniques we want for our projects, but for so many reasons that’s not always possible. So it’s up to us to seek out and find different ways to learn and discover those things we feel we need to know to improve ourselves. I can’t guarantee you’ll find everything you’ve been looking for in the coming episodes, but I will guarantee you’ll enjoy the show and will learn and discover something you didn’t know before or maybe something you never knew you wanted to know.
Many, many thanks to the contributors to the Spoken Wood Podcast without you, there’d be nothing. And with that said, I invite all of you the audience to visit their websites and subscribe to their blogs where you’ll find even more great articles and insights to this passion of woodworking we all share.

Hello,
I have been introduced to your site by Frank Vucolo. He said I would like it and he was right. Very cool indeed, especially for someone as new to woodworking as myself.

Welcome to the show, thanks for checking it out.
I look forward to exploring.
Found the site by mistake, sure do like it .
Thanks for stumbling by LOL.
Hey bro,
I e been listening to this spoken wood podcast and I have to be honest with you. I’m not generally into being red to. I don’t even like audio books. But you’ve got something going here for people that like radio and books and stuff.
I’m diggin it so far. I think it’s your voice that does it for people. Love the accent and I thank that’s what makes it. Of course the content that’s being red also makes it.
Good work on this podcast and many more. I’ll keep listening as long as you keepem comin.

Great stuff Matt! Really enjoy this; short, to the point and interesting. Works for short commutes, listen to Wood Talk Online for longer drives.
Keep up the good work!

Hey Matt: I learned about your web site through the WTO that I ran across while surfing. I have downloaded all of the episodes and listen to them on my 1 hour commute. It has really made the drive to and from work enjoyable. I am episode #10 right now.
I am a novice woodworker but a professional tool buyer. A workshop full of tools that have never needed sharpening due the minimal use. Ha/ha.
I was just surfing your site and though I would say hi. Not sure what I needed to but in the website box above so I left it blank. Hope you get this.
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for taking the time to drop me a line and say “HI”, I appreciate hearing from everyone. Hopefully somewhere down the line maybe you’ll have an opportunity or inspiration to start using those tools. Of course lately I’ve been feeling like more of a tool collector myself…it’s been a long gap since I’ve had a chance to build something. Hoping to put an end to the dry spell very soon with a project that’ll be documented for the show.
If you ever have any questions or more comments, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Take care!

Hey Matt.
Love the shows that you do, very informative, interesting and fun! a quick question is there any chance that your earlier spoken wood podcasts will be available on Itunes. I listen to them in the the car during my 3 hr comutes, it makes them fly by! keep up the great work!

Because of the eventual size of the RSS feed due to the number of available posts, at some point I become limited to the number of episodes I can include for download in most podcast directories. I learned this the hard way with my other show.
All available episodes of the show, all the way back to the first one, are on my website. When you visit, on the right hand side near the top is a drop down menu “Categories”. Choose Spoken Wood and it’ll offer up only the Spoken Wood episodes starting with the most recent all the way back to No. 1.
