The Three Planks is a long-form podcast about craft, antiques, woodworking, restoration, and the working lives behind them. Recorded in workshops, stores, and historic buildings, the series features honest, unfiltered conversations with makers, restorers, woodworkers, antique dealers, engineers, and craftspeople working at every scale — from bespoke furniture and conservation projects to unusual commissions and museum-level work. Each episode explores: • woodworking, joinery, and furniture making • antiques, salvage, and historic objects • heritage buildings and conservation • traditional skills alongside modern tools • the pressures, mistakes, and realities of making a living by hand This isn’t a highlight reel or a how-to show. It’s about experience, judgement, failure, patience, and why craft still matters. If you care about real crafts
