Why This Maker Left Teaching to Build Tools by Hand - Will Adams | WAMCAST #0103

In this episode, we hang out with Will Adams – the maker behind Honey Brook Tools. Based in Vermont, Will creates beautiful, functional hand tools for woodworkers, all crafted with care in his one-man workshop.

We talk about his journey from teaching to toolmaking, what inspires his designs, and how he’s built a business focused on quality, honesty, and good old-fashioned craftsmanship. Will’s all about making tools that feel great in your hand and make you want to create. It’s a relaxed, honest chat with a guy who genuinely loves what he does.
