Fred Garceau joins us to talk about carpentry and restoration. He shares his fascinating experience at the oldest trade school in France and tells us a ton about the French method of stereotomy. He discusses a few of his projects and even brought us some models as examples. Forever learning, Fred is full of advice for carpenters of every age on this episode of The Construction Life Podcast.
