Episode 57 - CUTTING THROUGH THE BULLSHIT (w/ Vic Tesolin)

About this episode

The episode explores common myths in woodworking and the reasons behind their persistence, featuring guest Vic Tesolin.

Many of us have been told things about woodworking – or any craft – that simply aren't true. Why are so many myths perpetuated across so many fields? What does it say about us as humans, that we believe these things and repeat them? Today, with the help of our most experienced, authentic, and amazing friend and colleague, Vic Tesolin, we dig deep into some of the biggest myths in our field, why people believe them, and how we can emerge with a healthy sense of skepticism.
