The Long View

by Today's Craftsmen

The Long View is a podcast built around honest conversations about making a living with your hands — told across generations. Hosted by Jeff Krug, Jon Peters, and Walter Peters, the show brings together a working professional shop owner, a lifelong craftsman and teacher, and a next-generation woodworker navigating what it means to learn, build, and grow today. These conversations are recorded after the dust settles — when there’s time to speak plainly about craft, business, teaching, learning, mistakes, and the realities that don’t always belong on public platforms. What you’ll hear: • Thoughtful discussions about craft and skill • Real talk about running a shop and making a living • Teaching and learning across generations • Listener questions and ongoing conversations • Reflections that take time, not shortcuts No algorithms. Just honest, experience-driven conversation. https://patreon.com/TheLongView
