The Three Planks - Episode 4
Episode 4 of The Three Planks Podcast ranges from the extraordinary to the everyday — beginning with the creation of a 10-foot reclaimed-oak throne toilet for Beaulieu Palace House.
From there, the discussion opens into:
- reclaimed timber and architectural salvage
- CNC carving alongside traditional joinery
- designing with and without drawings
- working on site with other trades
- sourcing materials through auction and clearance
- why making durable work still matters
A thoughtful conversation about materials, adaptation and the future of craft without losing its soul.
