The MWA On The Highland Woodworker

Wood Plans Woodworking Carpentry Download
While I was at Woodworking in America last year I had the pleasure of meeting Charles Brock. Charles is a true southern gentleman and an expert chairmaker. If you’re not familiar with his chairs, they are of the sculptural, Maloof inspired. I think they’re gorgeous.

At WIA2012 our Modern Woodworkers Association (MWA) booth was just down the aisle from Charles’ booth. This let me wander past and gawk more than I probably should have. After a few passes I struck up a conversation with Charles. We talked of many things, including how he began to teach chair making and what the MWA was all about. I was even able to record our 5 questions with him.

Recently, Charles asked me to provide an intro about the MWA to be featured on his web TV show, the Highland Woodworker.

Episode 5 of the Highland Woodworker was just released and we made it. Not only is the MWA bit I recorded included at the end, Charles also interviews +Christopher Adkins & +Scott Meek during the segment on the Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Event at Highland Woodworking.

For more on Charles, you can check out this interview +Shannon Rogers did with him leading up to Woodworking in America 2011 and stay tuned to the Modern Woodworkers Association podcast too. Charles will be an upcoming guest.
