Episode Recorded October 11, 2021.
Freddy Roman has grown up within the furniture field and mastered a variety of trades revolving around restoration woodworking and everything that goes along with it, from veneer work in neoclassical furniture to glazing antique windows. This is a thoughtful episode coming from someone who occupies the space where “trades” and “craft” are the same. Freddy shares his thoughts about the differences between handwork and machine work and what he’s learned in the process of being a woodworker. He also explains the importance of teaching handwork to folks lost skills that would’ve been commonplace a few decades ago.
