In this first episode of "Much More Than Carpentry", I traveled to Catalonia to meet Germán Peraire, a cabinetmaker who has managed to create his own path within the cabinetmaking trade, with a very personal approach. Germán shares his story, his learnings and how he has managed to live from his passion, build the workshop of his dreams... And without stress!
We talked about:
-How he started in the trade from scratch.
-How he built and equipped his workshop.
-The complicated business of making and selling handcrafted furniture.
-Social networks for 21st century artisans
-What will the future of cabinetmaking be like?
If you are a carpenter, craftsman or simply passionate about the world of wood, this episode is full of inspiration and valuable experiences.
