Episode 311: The Maine Woodworking Event RECAP w/ Brandon Smith (Cross And Miter)

[upbeat music] You're listening to Another Woodshop Podcast, the okay-est podcast of its type.

Your hosts are Daniel Dunlap of Daniel Dunlap Woodworks, Peter Kapar of Petrie's Workshop, and Brayden Boakes of Little Buck Woodworking.

You can find them as well as the podcast on your favorite social media channels.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of Another Woodshop podcast.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's guest is a man who builds high-end custom furniture in a small shop in the Hudson Valley, proving once and for all that you don't need a 6,000 square foot shop to make beautiful furniture.

You just need talent, patience, and apparently the organizational skills of a fricking Tetris champion.

He's the man behind Cross and Miter, where the joinery is tight, the furniture is gorgeous, and every piece looks like it belongs in a house where you're afraid to put your drink down without a coaster.

But building furniture wasn't enough, no.

This son of a gun looked at a woodworking events and thought, "You know what sounds relaxing? Organizing one of them sons of guns." He's a furniture maker, he's an event organizer, he's a content creator.

He knows the difference between both a cross and a miter, which already makes him more qualified to be on this podcast than at least two of the hosts.

Ladies and gentlemen, Brandon Smith from Cross and Miter.

Woo.

Woo.
