Tonight, we're excited to welcome Brandon Smith, the maker behind Cross & Miter.

Based in New York's Hudson Valley, Brandon has built a reputation for creating beautiful custom furniture while sharing the realities of running a woodworking business with thousands of makers online. Through his YouTube channel and social media, he's become known not only for his craftsmanship, but also for his honest approach to shop life, design, and the creative process.

Brandon is also the co-founder of the Maine Woodworking Event, a growing gathering created by woodworkers, for woodworkers, bringing together makers from across the country to learn, connect, and celebrate the craft. Whether he's building fine furniture, documenting his journey, or helping strengthen the woodworking community, Brandon continues to inspire makers at every skill level.
