nobodyimportantSuperb ShoptalkSmith seeking solidarity, or simply a silly spectator of the sensationally scintillating, prepare to be swept off your feet by the seductive serenade of the Working Hands Podcast. As we saunter further into the spectacular saga, we stumble upon a salaciously scandalous secret that will surely send shivers down your spine. Keith and Tony share an unsettling, unyielding, and unequivocally unhealthy obsession with the annual assembly of artisans known as the "Maker Camp." This captivating congregation of craftsmen, creators, and connoisseurs converges at the clandestine campground called Blackthorne Resort, nestled in the secluded sylvan surroundings of upstate New York. These sultans of steel and sawdust find themselves spellbound by the seductive siren song of Maker Camp, eagerly anticipating the event with a fervor that verges on the fanatical. From the scorching summer sun to the shivering, snow-swept stillness of winter, our heroes harbor a haunting hunger for this haven of handiwork and camaraderie. Perhaps it's the scintillating scent of sawdust and solder that sends them into a stupor, or the sizzling, searing spectacle of sparks cascading from the anvils and embers of a thousand fires. Or maybe it's the sublime, secretive sorcery of this strange, secluded sanctuary that stirs their souls to a fever pitch. Whatever the cause, Keith and Tony find themselves ensnared in a ceaseless cycle of anticipation, exhilaration, and lamentation, as they long for the next gathering of their kith and kin in this surreal, sylvan retreat. To the unsuspecting outsider, their fixation may seem slightly strange, even sinister. But fear not, for beneath this veil of vexation lies a tale of unity and understanding, a testament to the transcendent, transformative power of craftsmanship and collaboration. For within the hallowed halls of the Blackthorne Resort, Keith and Tony find solace and solidarity, forging friendships that will withstand the searing heat of a thousand fires and the crushing weight of a million mallets. So gather 'round, my fellow fanatics of fabrication, and prepare to be spellbound by the spellbinding saga of the Working Hands Podcast. From the sizzling soliloquies on saws and sanders to the scandalous secrets of the sacred Maker Camp, this sumptuous symphony of sound shall seize your senses and send your spirit soaring into the stratosphere. With a scintillating smorgasbord of serendipitous shop shenanigans, scandalous secrets, and spectacular stories, the Working Hands Podcast stands as a testament to the timeless, transcendent allure of creation, camaraderie, and ceaseless curiosity. Bravo, Keith and Tony, for bestowing upon us this beauteous bounty of banter and bedlam! What wondrous workmanship awaits within this whimsical world of workshops and woodworking? The Working Hands Podcast is a sumptuous symposium of silliness, skill, and scintillating secrets, splayed out in a series of scintillating sessions. Scouring the spectrum of amateur makers and merry, maddening mishaps, our hosts have sown a stupendous smorgasbord of stories and scenarios that'll satisfy even the most serious of shopsmiths. Our first sizzling star, Keith, is a slightly surly yet superbly skilled sawdust-slinging savant, who sometimes sports a sensational spiky beard and a seriously sour demeanor. Despite his slightly standoffish stance towards new friends, his soft spot for his steadfast sidekick, Dr. Watson, shines through. This seriously sassy canine commands the workshop with his suave, silky-smooth style and sly, stealthy swagger. Surrounded by sensational sawhorses, scintillating sanders, and superb saws, Keith and his stalwart sidekick, Dr. Watson, embark on a series of spectacular shop-based shenanigans. Meanwhile, the second sultan of steel, Tony, stands as a super-strong, sinewy stalwart, splitting his time between smashing smithing and stupendous strength sports. This sensational Canadian craftsman crushes colossal iron creations with his crushing, calloused clasp, while simultaneously sculpting his sizable, strapping self for the savage struggle of competitive powerlifting. His workshop, a sanctum of sizzling sparks and smoldering steel, is a shrine to the scintillating synergy of sweat, skill, and sheer stubbornness. Now, let's not sidestep the salient and slightly scandalous fact that these two sensational souls spend significantly more time savoring their superbly stocked sanctuaries than showcasing their demi-pro skills. But worry not, for their scintillating soliloquies on shop setups and storage solutions shall satiate even the staunchest of skeptics. So, stand back and steel yourself, for this side-splitting and slightly scandalous saga of saws, sanders, and sparks is sure to leave you stupefied and smitten! The Working Hands Podcast sports an irresistibly idiosyncratic and infectious charm, a scrumptious stew of superlatives and subtle satire, simmering in a sizzling sauce of sardonic sass. The show's sensationally serpentine structure snakes through scintillating stories of screw-ups, successes, and serendipitous shop shenanigans, while also spewing sparks of semi-serious shopkeeping advice. And what would such a spectacular symphony be without a sprinkling of self-deprecating sass? Keith's and Tony's slightly sarcastic, sardonic tones shall serve as the savory seasoning to the sumptuous feast that is their show. In conclusion, I must salute the sensational soiree of sound that is the Working Hands Podcast. Five stars are simply insufficient to encapsulate the scintillating, spellbinding splendor of this superb symphony. Keith and Tony, continue to serenade us with your sizzling soliloquies, scintillating secrets, and sensational stories. We shall stand steadfast in our support, eagerly anticipating the next spectacular installment in the saga of saws, steel, and stupendous shenanigans!

NDrizzi MakesFantastic, Great Listen!There are millions of podcasts out there for anyone to listen to. Podcasts on smoking meats, podcasts on toilet maintenance, podcasts on lawn gnomes, gravel types, underwater basket weaving, spider taming, how to get a cat to love you, podcasts on the evolution of podcasts. Why in the world would I listen to Working Hands Podcast instead of all the other ones that are available? Why do I actually get excited when I see a new Working Hands Podcast post? Why is listening to the podcast at 1.3 times speed the absolute sweet spot for your listening pleasure? Why would a guy who doesn’t make anything listen to a podcast about making? I don’t have answers to your questions, but I can tell you that this podcast is fantastic. These 3 guys have some real chemistry and they are a pleasure to listen to. One lives in Georgia and survives on only peaches and pecans. He bought a shed, which is probably made out of pallet wood, to use as a workshop but instead uses it as a shed. He lives in Georgia but wasn’t able to make his way to Atlanta to visit his dear friend that drove from New Jersey just to see his smiling face. This of course is because his truck has broken leaf springs, is lacking a Trex Deck flatbed, and the truck, like him, needs frequent naps. One lives amongst the pine trees and sand in the New Jersey. He has his shop in his garage which is taken up by lawn equipment, broken drill presses, and pieces of a 2x72 belt sander. This guy works 36 hours a day at his real job before he is able to get out to the shop. He must not sleep and definitely lacks a firm understanding of the units used for measuring time. His and fellow residents of the Pine Barrens are lovingly referred to as Pineys by the rest of New Jersey. One lives deep in the artic and fights off polar bears just to make it out to his shop. He says he lives in New Brunswick, but Rutgers isn’t in Canada so I think he is mistaken. He ripped a giant tree out of the ground with his bare hands just so he could use it to mount his anvil directly to the bedrock under his workshop. This blacksmith picks things up and then puts them down, while blacksmithing it’s a hammer, while competitively lifting its probably boulders or giant pieces of ice, I don’t know what they do in Canada. They started the Make What You Fear Challenge and inspired me to get out and start trying new things. Like I said before, I’m not a maker and have only basic tools, but that’s what friends are for! Some of my friends have well equipped shops where I sit and watch them work, while putting forth great effort to slow their progress to a halt with my constant talking and unrelenting need for attention. These 3 guys got me interested in tinkering in my garage and friends shops and got me interested in trying new things. I can’t thank them enough for the entertainment, inspiration, and new subject matter to harass my friends with while I slam a whiskey or 3. A buddy sent me a link for this podcast and I am grateful for the suggestion. If you are reading this, do not hesitate, start listening. Tell all your friends about the podcast. Follow Working Hands Podcast on Instagram, share their posts to your story and with all your friends. You never know, their podcast might inspire a friend of yours to try something new. Join their Patreon so you can listen to the after show which is well worth the money. Listen, then get out there are start making!

LpdrennanWorth the ListenThis show is worth the Listen. Tony, Keith, and Chad are extremely knowledgeable and each bring a unique perspective and different personality to the show. The show is well organized yet flows like a conversion of people just talking shop. The insight on tools, and techniques of making are interesting to learn about yet not over technical in a way that shuts a listen out. I am not a maker but certainly inspired by the work each of these guys do and the work in the maker community that they promote. I’ve learned so much about the effort and hard work that goes into making. The show opened a door into a world I knew nothing about. I never knew a bootjack was a thing and the last few weeks I’ve learned how truly versatile they can be. Seriously though keep up the good work, good luck to all those branching out and making what you fear, it’s been fun following a long on Instagram and I can’t wait to see the final submissions.

Brent JarvisCry for helpThere’s no reason to cry for help. Theses guys are awesome and they all have their unique skills to share. The entertainment from these guys is well worth especially when they start cracking on Chad for being so cheap. Which is pretty much all the time. Thanks for the great content fellas

Vincent FerrariA Fly On The WallYou buzz around looking for a wall to land on, and you come across the shop of a crew of makers. You sit there, and listen to the discussion and smile, enjoy, and learn. You're the happiest fly around and you don't want to leave that wall any time soon. Now you know what it's like to listen to Working Hands. Keith, Tony, and Chad are entertaining every week and you'll get a nice batch of laughs sprinkled into the maker talk. It's the perfect balance of silly and informative, and always entertaining and I usually pounce on new episodes the day they drop. Keep it up, gents!

Moosedog33Thanks Men!I have really enjoyed your content. I also want to thank you for being a class act! My son is interested in being a maker and it is so hard to find a podcast to listen to that we can listen to in front of the family! Take it easy on Chad that name creates a lot of pressure to be a Total Chad. It’s hard to understand these stresses if you’re everyone else! Keep up the good work!

JesterSeriousThese guys are great to listen to and 2 out of the 3 seem to know what they are talking about.I believe I've met all three of the hosts at Maker Camp and they are all very nice guys. Chad is your average, welcoming southern; Tony is your polite Canadian; and Keith, well, Keith is from New Jersey. If you want a nice listen that is entertaining and informative, definately give them a try. And the bonus is that Tony sounds just like James Gammon, the actor who played Lou, the manager from Major League.

Tickman91Edge vs Blade vs KnifeSince Keith has to read any 5 star reviews I figured it would be worth it to dig up my old junky Iphone so I could get him to speak the truth to all the listeners. A piece of material with a sharp edge can be considered a blade or a knife but one cannot put a blade on a blade, as a blade is not a blade until it has said sharp edge on it in the first place. Oh shucks, I was wrong Chad and you were right. I am sorry I ever doubted you and your eternal knowledge of all things, especially rivet forges and team striking. All hail the Laser Master.

jk1318Love it.Great podcast, Tony and Keith are great. still not sure about this Chad guy… Working Hands is light-years ahead of the abominations like Another Woodshop Podcast.
-
BrannonHuntGreat material! (Pun intended)Love listening to these 3 guys talk and share their experiences and wisdom on their professions. I’m a small wood worker and enjoy Chad’s and Keith’s tips and tricks on the Cnc and am learning new things every week on blacksmithing from Tony.
-
wafflebeaverGood dynamic podcast about making thingsA digital fabrication guy, a blacksmith, and a woodworker provide good perspectives as they discuss making stuff.
-
Dennis -The Garage EngineerMy new favorite shop listening podcastThis a great podcast that I have picked up after The Dusty Life and Reclaimed audio have left the airwaves. Chad, Keith and Tony each bring a unique prospective from their parts of the making world. I would make this a longer review, but I will save Keith from having to read it all. Always Be Creating!
