I'm Alastair Johnson from Freebird Interiors on Youtube and in this podcast series due to start in February 2020 I'll be chatting with a wide range of other woodworkers, focusing mainly on fitted furniture manufacture and installation. I want to understand how and why they build things the way they do, including their choice of materials, tools and techniques. I also want to get under the skin of what motivates and inspires them, what led them to do this kind of work in the first place, what they love about it, what they hate about it, and what motivates them to keep doing it as a career.

In this first episode of the second series of The Fitted Furniture Makers Podcast I put other woodworkers' questions about spray finishing to expert sprayer Matt Marriott from Instasprayers.
Covering:
Some of the basics of different types of spray system.
Pros and cons of waterbased finishes
Substrate selection and preparation
Spraying technique
Dealing with defects and mistakes
....and lots more (This is a long chat to put on while you are driving or working in the workshop)
This will soon be available on Podcasting platforms too for easier listening.
