Some details shots of the secret bookcase. This thing looks simple from the outside but the details on it took more time then I expected. I have to give major credit to the designer I was able to work with on this job. Her name is Alice and not only have I never meant her, she designed this from 3k miles away. Her designs are not the norm for us over here on the east coast and what we normally deal with and I love it. The key to all this coming together was communication, emails and phone calls. The willingness to bounce ideas off each other and accept them. Alice is by far my favorite designer I have had the pleasure to work with in my career. She would ask me if I could do certain details and I would tell her yes, but we need this to complement that, and she would take that input and go with it or suggest another option. If your a designer reading this and deal with the craftsman’s that build your concepts, talk to them, not at them. Your designs will flourish and a trust will be built. Nothing bad can come from that. #bookcase #secertbookcase #secertdoor #hiddenpassage #custommade #woodoworking #designer #homedecor #officedecor #interiordesign #interiordesigner #decor

Episode number 31 is up and actually works on iTunes this week.

In this week’s episode Freddy is away so we have a guest to fill his spot, Paul Jasper. Some of you may know the mad scientist Paul Jasper from his Instagram account @Copper_pig_fine_woodworking. Paul is actually good friends with Freddy and has helped us with the show behind the scenes. This week we sit down and talk to Paul about his background and the interesting work he builds now in his spare time. We cover the topic of balancing Design vs. Execution in woodworking.

On side note we are having some episode download issues. If you are having a similar experience please let us know. Thanks theatgpodcast.

On this weeks show we cover a question sent in by @barry27921 about some water rings on a table he built. Freddy takes his finishing minute to cover this question in about 3 minutes this week. #babesteps #ontheclock #waterspots
