Ep. 123 When Do You Quit

Come check out this historic preservation project in Hanover, MA. Michael Burrey is rebuilding a historic timber-framed home and combining it with a new build in a Carpenter Gothic style. This project blends new construction techniques with historic preservation to create a one-of-a-kind home that will be on the market later this year.

Come and meet Rich Friberg. Rich was the second year Preservation Carpentry instructor who took over after Robert Adam. He is a master turner and owns Pleasant Avenue Restorations. He has an incredible crown post timber framed shop and was kind enough to share it with us.

Join Brent, Richard, and Jackson for another deep dive into the craftsman style! Gustav Stickley really pioneered this style in the early 1900's and it has become a staple of classic american residential architecture.

PFC is back, and we are excited to share some fun episodes with you this summer. Tune in to hear about Jackson's passion for bees, Brent's for moldings, and Richard sharing everything that has been keeping him busy (as a bee). Plus, when you join us on Patreon, you'll get to hear Brent share about working on Barbra Streisand's home.

Join us in meeting 'British Brent'! Vincent Reed has a passion for restoring historic woodwork. He has worked on so many incredible projects in the UK, and continues to elevate craft in our world.

Uhhh... We tried something new here, this is a totally different type of episode. Let us know what you think of this less structured normal conversation. Back to craft next week, we just tried to have some fun!

Inspired by a recent guest instructor at NBSS, Jackson wanted to talk about paints and finishes. Richard has a great perspective because of his extensive paint experience. Brent points out that because of UV, there is a big difference in finishes in Texas vs Massachusetts.

When is it time to move from working your small business, to running it. The craftsmen talk about when it is time to put down the toolbelt, if that is necessary for everyone, and how to practically make the switch between the two roles.

This episode starts out as a deep dive into stairs and mantles, then turns into a fun bit of chaos. Join in to learn why the orders define proportions of a room without dictating the style of the room.

Join the craftsmen as they talk to Dave Rogers from Windsor One. From philosophy, to wood growth, to marketing, they cover all aspects of Windsor in a really fun and engaging conversation.
