![From Serial Hobbyist to Woodworking Empire | Autodesk Fusion
In this episode of ShopTalk, we dive into the inspiring, sawdust-scented journey of Peter Capar, serial hobbyist, podcast host, and founder of pTrees Workshop. From restoring rusted tools found on the curb to running a high-tech woodworking business, Peter shares how he scaled his garage hobby into a thriving enterprise—without debt.
You’ll hear how Peter’s obsession with learning, tinkering, and making led him to adopt Fusion as the backbone of his business—from 3D printing and CNC machining to laser cutting and jig design. He talks shop, shares hard-earned insights on evolving with tech, and reminds us why woodworking is still the ultimate maker gateway drug.
Whether youre a weekend woodworker or a digital fabrication nerd, this episode is packed with advice, laughs, and plenty of “ah-ha” moments for modern makers.
