Form vs Function [AD][video 582]

For all 10MW Plus members

This video is sponsored by Woodworkers Guild of America. The first 1,000 people to use my link will get a full year of Premium membership to Woodworkers Guild of America for only $1.49:https://go.wwgoa.com/petermillard/

In this one I use an ongoing project to discuss the three-way pull of Form, Function and Fabrication; the design considerations we need to take when making anything for ourselves, or clients.
