It's been a busy few days in this episode of Turner's Journey. I catch up on where things stand with the channel schedule (leaning towards fortnightly episodes for now), share the exciting news that my new book, A Maker's Mindset, is ready and available for pre-order on Kindle, and talk about plans for an abridged audio version that will become a 32-part YouTube playlist.
In the workshop, I've had a lovely one-to-one lesson with a chap looking to turn bowls for craft markets, and I'm running the first weekday Introduction to Hollowing class, which gives us a welcome extra hour and a half to work through everything properly. There's also a quick visit to film a Bite-Size Workshop video on tenons that hold, some Valentine's Day editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, and a late-night rehearsal of the audiobook introduction using Adobe Audition, complete with an auto-cue and a developing cold. You'll get to hear the full dry run of the book's introduction, which gives a flavour of what A Maker's Mindset is all about.
📖 A Maker's Mindset is available in paperback and Kindle from Amazon, and in paperback from msabansmith.com
