This interview with Steve Ramsey of Woodworking for Mere Mortals is a real gem for the wood-curious and the YouTube-curious. I met Steve when he contacted me a few years ago to give me a tostonera that he made (which I then used in a video, below). He’s an accomplished woodworker who manages to make his YouTube tutorials both hilarious and educational. In this podcast, we talk about the best workbench setup for a small space; what he does with all those woodworking projects; how he manages three channels; woodworking scams; and can Steve build a house???
