Summary: In this episode of 60 with 360WoodWorking, the 360 guys talk about whether woodworking and furniture making can be considered art or not. Are you an artist or a craftsman? And is there a difference?<br> Join the guys twice each month for 60 lively minutes of discussion on everything from tools to techniques to wood selection (and more). Chuck & Glen, and sometimes a surprise guest, all have their own opinions. Sometimes they agree and sometimes they don’t, but the conversation is always information packed and lots of fun.<br> If you have topics you’d like to hear covered in future episodes, click <a href="mailto:360@360woodworking.com">here</a> to send an email to the guys.<br> <br> Notes:<br> Below you’ll find time-codes for each segment of the show.
