Welcome to season 6 of The Shop Stool Podcast, a podcast for woodworkers and the maker community in general. Hosted by Robin Lewis (RobinLewisMakes), Joey Chalk (King Post Timber Works), and Bryan Cush (Sawdust Bureau).

Better late than never was the alternate title for this episode. Bryan had a health scare recently so we had to put the show on hold. I’m sure you’ll agree it was the right choice after listening to the episode. It’s also the last episode of the season and 2024, before we take a break for Christmas.

A big thank you to all the guests we had on the show this season, and thank you to everyone who listened in. We’ll see you all in 2025.
