## Summary

Patrick Edwards, winner of the Society for American Period Furniture Makers Cartouche Award, discusses his American School of French Marquetry and his product, Old Brown Glue. He explains the technical advantages of the French marquetry tool, the chevrolet, over scroll saws, emphasizing control and vision. Edwards details the development of Old Brown Glue, which extends open time by adding urea to protein glue, allowing for reversible, non-toxic repairs of antiques without the need for a traditional hot pot. The hosts also answer listener questions regarding fixing out-of-square workbenches, upgrading vintage Delta bandsaws, and sourcing tools in Europe.
