For those of you who don't know about twitch, it is a live streaming site you can access through your browser or an app for your phone. My interview with Banzai is being streamed live to her audience while we talk. We will be taking questions from the audience as well as responding to their activity.

Uli Kirchler - Master of Castles Aug 31, 2018

Show notes

Today I am going to introduce you to Uli Kirchler, a woodworker born and raised in Italy. We met in his shop and he showed me many of his works of art. Every piece he showed me blew me away. His attention to detail, his creative design all of it hallmarks of a master. He would likely disagree, but I am here to tell you he is, and I am not just saying this because he cooked me lunch. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did doing the interview.
