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.

    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.

    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.
