In our second episode we explore the virtue of justice and how it relates to the profitable nature of woodworking. Whether that be financial profit or the simple reward of bringing joy to family and friends, we have both come to realize the importance of quality craftsmanship.
Thanks to Joseph (@furnishedbyfrassati), Aaron (@lazarus.design.build), Chris (@crtbuilds), and Neil (@thebritishwoodworker) for answering last week’s challenge question!
