This week our very special guest is a guy with his own woodworking YouTube channel by the name of Frank Makes, Mr. Frank Howarth! Frank’s background in architecture helped him design and build a super kick-butt woodshop that he uses to create stop-motion films of the development process of various woodworking projects. We’ll talk with Frank about everything from his process to how to start your very own kick-butt woodshop.

We’ll be discussing:

  • Who are you Frank Howarth?
  • How did you get started in woodworking? Photography?
  • As somebody who almost exclusively works with their hands, what’s your take on digital fabrication?
  • What’s the best advice you can give someone who is setting up their first at-home wood shop?
  • …and more!
