For listeners, here’s the photo of the prototype chair Adrian sat on while doing our podcast:

Amanda asked Larissa about some recent pipe bending she showed on Instagram. Really impressive curls!

Matcha (Discord):

Are there any alternative joint methods that work well for veneering boxes? how do they decide on a veneer pattern for a specific box? Favorite substrate for a small box?

Chuck:

How often do techniques you want to learn determine the creation of the box you’re making vs having a purpose for the end project?

Turningsawdustintogroceries (Discord):

Larissa: on your coopered boxes, do you use actual clamping (like a big hose clamp) or just tape when doing the glue up? Are you using jigs to maintain the exact shape?

During “box” design and construction is there a level of difficulty required to complete a task that would make either of you decide the start/completion of the box wasn’t worth as much much effort as it would take? Example: curved tapered bent laminating and all of the jigs required. Basically, at what point does it go from box building to an exercise in just trying to really push your boundaries? And do you take the amount of time and labor into account in whether it would be “worth it” to bring something from idea to reality.

Bevelup (Discord):

Is the market for high end boxes bigger or smaller than that for fine furniture?
