I think I might be addicted to woodworking podcasts. I feel comfortable telling you that because we are now close personal friends. I also enjoy reading blogs. Reading about what other woodworkers are up to, getting some good tips and tricks, and hearing about their trials, tribulations, and triumphs is always a good time. So why not start my own? C’mon, it’s the American way!
There are a lot of great woodworking podcasts out there already. Many of them focus on “how-to” information or answer listeners questions. My goal here is a little different. I’d like to use my podcast to generate discussion on topics that affect the craft or the woodworking community as whole. Each episode will be dedicated to a single topic that I’ll discuss in some depth. Then, I’d really like to hear what your views are on the issue, either through the comments section on the blog or via email. Let’s get a discussion going and see where it leads. I’ll also be using the blog to report the general happenings and hijinx in my shop.
I’m almost done setting up my audio equipment, so I’ll be recording the first episode soon. I’ve got some great topics lined up so I think we’ll have a good time. Please subscribe to my feed and check back often. Once I post the first episode, I’ll make an iTunes feed available, as well.
If you have any topics you’d like to see covered here or if you’d just like to chat, please feel free to post a comment or send me an email via the Contact page.
Thanks for stopping by!





Hi Dave………
I’m a big fan of Matt’s Basement Workshop and saw your comment, clicked on your name and see a Blog. COOL!!!
What do you mean by “Modern Woodshop”??? Is it the work you like to build???? The idea of experiment with modern materials???? The mix of tools????
How are you defining a “Modern Woodshop”??
Very Cool………….Neil
Hi Neil,
Thanks for stopping by! I’m also a fan of Matt’s Basement Workshop and Furnitology, as well.
When I use the term “Modern Woodshop,” I’m referring to the mix of tools used to construct furniture. In general, these days, that means it’s a blend of power and hand tools.
