A Woodturners Journey

by Chris Jacobsen

At A Woodturners Journey, we strive to explore woodturning from all different perspectives. Markus and Chris are both obsessed with creating things on their lathe as well as finding areas to improve their efficiencies and style. Their goal is to stay up to date with the newest things going on around the world of woodturning. They also love to interview fellow woodturners and find out about their journey so far. Woodturning is a wonderful rabbit hole and one we never see ourselves finding the bottom of. Join us in our journey. If you have any comments, questions or feedback please send us an email AWoodturnersJourney@gmail.com or find us on Instagram @AWoodturnersJourney Hosted on Acast.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This will be a bit of an odd review, but one that is above 5 star. I tend to travel overseas a fair amount, and jet lag often kicks my tailstock. Listening to these guys, during many sleepless nights has been a godsend. Oftentimes I would wake up in the middle of the day/night and put on one of their podcasts, listen to their highly informative banter, and fall asleep half way through (not their fault). When I awaken a few hours later, I am often miffed, as I fell like I have missed discussions that resonate with my own personal woodturning experiences The great thing about sleeping through some or most of one, is that I get to listen to the same podcast more than once! There is just so much woodturning “meat” these guys present, in a remarkably digestible format. In my case, awake or asleep. So, this review, currently posted from the Marianas Islands, in a fitful, semi awake state, is 5+ stars and I yearn to get back to my shop to implement all the subliminal training that Chris and Markus have provided.

Nice listening to these two goofballs talk about woodturning, especially since I know Markus in person. But don’t buy in to all their tools recommendations- you’ll go broke!

Adrian’s Woods · Nov 2025

So glad y’all brought the pod back! Timed perfectly for me getting back in to woodturning. Even upgraded my lathe! Thanks for the great show, gentlemen.
