Ep. 105 | Simple, But it Also Arouses Curiosity

Author: Keith Johnson August 19, 2024 Duration: 1:14:26
And we're back!! Keith closes in on completion of his floating desk/built-in thingy (finally!!) and Jason delves deep into design issues on the air craft carrier white oak hutch he is building. You won't believe how much he has spent on materials so far!! Oh, and he's starting on a gargantuan pergola in his backyard. But don't worry, he's outsourcing the painting.

You'll find Shop Sounds Podcast in the sawdust-covered corner where woodworking meets casual conversation. Hosted by Keith Johnson (the voice behind @KJSawdust) and featuring Jason Hibbs from @BourbonMoth, this isn't a step-by-step instructional series. Instead, it captures the meandering, often hilarious discussions that happen naturally when two passionate makers are hanging out in the workshop. The "about nothing" description is a playful nod to the show's organic flow, where topics can drift from the nuances of a hand plane technique to life stories, project failures, and the simple philosophy found in creating things with your hands. Each episode feels like you've pulled up a stool in the shop, listening in on a genuine exchange between friends who happen to be deeply knowledgeable about the craft. It’s a podcast for anyone who appreciates the sound of a well-tuned table saw as much as the easy laughter that follows a good story. For Keith and Jason, the background hum of machinery is just the soundtrack to a wider conversation about the hobbies and small joys that shape a life. Tune in when you want the company of fellow enthusiasts without the pressure of a formal lesson.
