ShopNotes Podcast 046 — Project Design, Inspiration ... Copying

By: Phil Huber
Woodworking project ideas come from all around. Here are some ways to think about using the work you find online or in catalogs.

Can you make this?

At one time or another, most woodworkers hear that question from a friend or family member. Perhaps you've even seen a project online that strikes your fancy. How should we approach copying the work of others? How do you find inspiration for your own projects?

Join John, Logan, and Phil as they share their experiences of taking inspiration from the work of other woodworkers, retailers, and historical examples.

Project Updates: Phil gave several of the Christmas gifts he's been making this week. So he can (finally) share them here.
