Inspired by a recent guest instructor at NBSS, Jackson wanted to talk about paints and finishes. Richard has a great perspective because of his extensive paint experience. Brent points out that because of UV, there is a big difference in finishes in Texas vs Massachusetts.
When is it time to move from working your small business, to running it. The craftsmen talk about when it is time to put down the toolbelt, if that is necessary for everyone, and how to practically make the switch between the two roles.
This episode starts out as a deep dive into stairs and mantles, then turns into a fun bit of chaos. Join in to learn why the orders define proportions of a room without dictating the style of the room.
Join the craftsmen as they talk to Dave Rogers from Windsor One. From philosophy, to wood growth, to marketing, they cover all aspects of Windsor in a really fun and engaging conversation.
During home build or remodel, there are 6 hidden designers who play a role in changing your desired plans for the house, often without your consent. As a homeowner or homebuilder, it is your job to be aware of these and to know how to push back to keep the integrity of your original design.
Join us for a long awaited deep dive into kit houses! This is a lost art of building that should still be in use today. As the original entry level home, it is a tragedy that we no longer build houses like this!
Is Frank Lloyd Wright the only good modern architect? Does Falling Water hold water? While modernism is a rejection of the classical orders, it still has merit... right? Maybe we need some help from Brent on this one. The guys talk about the Modern Style of home building and where it has a place in great craft.
The guys look ahead and discuss what is to come for the year.
The craftsmen spent the weekend soaking in the amazing historic architecture of Boston and Salem, and now they are debriefing it all. In this episode, the guys discuss what stood out, what surprised them, and what sparked new ideas.
The craftsmen are joined again by Michael Burrey inside of Kings Chapel. Completed in 1754 as Boston's first granite building, Kings Chapel has a massive timber framed roof and columns carved out of entire trees.
The Craftsmen are back with Brock Leiendecker at the Old North Church. One if by land, two if by sea, and three cheers for a really cool episode!
The guys are joined by Michael Burrey, the second year Preservation Carpentry program at NBSS.
The guys are joined by Ryan Foley, Jackson's classmate, to explore some of the historic properties owned by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. Ryan worked on some of the houses for his summer internship with Rich Friberg, a past Preservation Carpentry instructor at NBSS. Thanks to our Sponsor for this episode, Champion.
Explore Salem, MA with Brent, Richard and Jackson as they walk around the McIntire District and Brent nerds out...a lot. Thanks to our Sponsor for this episode, Rockwool.
Listen in on this conversation with Christine Franck, an architect in Denver, CO who introduced Brent into the world of the 5 orders of architecture.
Brent talks about the idea of "what got you here won't get you there". How do you take your business to the next level? Do you create a new branch or do you restructure and reorganize the inside. Find out what path Brent took in this episode.
There are ups and downs to running a business. In this episode, Richard covers his latest struggles and what he has learned from them.
Brent discusses the obstacles his company had to overcome and the hoops they had to jump through to coordinate the construction of a 3 foot corinthian column. The guys talk about why you should never do this... and how they're planning on doing a doric and ionic one too.
The guys were excited to sit down with guest, Patrick Moore. Pat is a classically trained stereotomist who studied in a timber framing compagnon in France. Now he brings this lost art back to North America. Stereotomy is a skill that defined the way we built in the past we hope can be used to improve our craft today.
Season 3 is here! The guys are back together after a busy summer—Jackson shares about his internship, Richard talks about growing his company, and Brent catches us up on hiring new employees. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper reunion without some fun—Richard and Jackson kick things off with a practical joke on Brent. It’s good to have the trio back for another season of Passion for Craft.
