Modern Woodworkers Association Podcast - Conversations Among Woodworkers: Recent Episodes
Dyami Plotke, Sean Wisniewski, Kyle Barton
The Modern Woodworkers Association is a place for the online woodworking community to reinforce our online connections and create personal ones in local gatherings in many regions across the country.It is a place for woodworkers of all skill levels from professional to hobbyist to be able to share knowledge and learn form one another. The name Modern Woodworkers Association does not come from the fact that we are powertool users or for that matter handtool users but instead that we have all found a new tool, the online community and the power of information.
On this episode we are going to be catching up Wilbur Pan. Wilbur is a fantastic woodworker, and an ambassador of asian woodworking tools and techniques. He will be demonstrating those tools and techniques at the upcoming Handworks event in Amana, IA on Sept 4 & 5. Join us for a fun and informative conversation with a great friend of the podcast.
