Art of Manliness Podcast #117: Craftsmanship and the Good Life With Peter Korn

Originally published June 2015. What is it about making things with our hands that provides so much satisfaction? Why are we so drawn to the archetype of the craftsman? In his insightful book, Why We Make Things and Why it Matters, furniture builder and woodworking instructor Peter Korn explores the philosophy of craftsmanship. In the podcast today, I talk to Peter about the ethos of craftsmanship, what craft can teach us about living the good life, and why you should get out in the garage and try building something with your own two hands. Show Highlights The definition of craftsmanship How our idea of the archetypal craftsman was created in the 19th century Why building with our hands is so satisfying What we really buy when we buy a hand-built product from a craftsman What craftsmanship can teach us about living the good life And much more!
