Description

The Long View is a podcast built around honest conversations about making a living with your hands — told across generations. Hosted by Jeff Krug, Jon Peters, and Walter Peters, the show brings together a working professional shop owner, a lifelong craftsman and teacher, and a next-generation woodworker navigating what it means to learn, build, and grow today.

What you’ll hear: • Thoughtful discussions about craft and skill • Real talk about running a shop and making a living • Teaching and learning across generations • Listener questions and ongoing conversations • Reflections that take time, not shortcuts No algorithms. Just honest, experience-driven conversation. https://patreon.com/TheLongView

[PREVIEW] Why Making Things for Yourself Is So Hard

2026/01/27

Making something for yourself should be the easiest kind of work — but often it’s the hardest. In this full episode of The Long View, Jeff Krug, Jon Peters, and Walter Peters dig into why personal projects stall out. They talk honestly about perfectionism, identity, and the pressure that comes with wanting personal work to represent your best thinking and ability. The conversation explores how experience can make starting harder instead of easier, why unfinished projects carry so much weight, and how this struggle looks different across generations. Walter shares what it’s like to learn while watching this happen — and how that perspective shapes his own approach to making. This episode doesn’t offer neat solutions. It offers perspective.

Why We’re Taking the Long View

2026/01/14

Why do some craftspeople last decades, while others burn out or disappear? In this first episode of The Long View, we talk about why perspective matters — in craft, in work, and in building a life around making things. Across three generations, we discuss expectations, pressure, and what people often get wrong about “making it.” We reflect on how the work has changed, what hasn’t, and why taking the long view matters more than ever. This episode introduces the voices, the intent, and the tone of the show. It’s the beginning of a longer conversation. New episodes are released every other week. https://patreon.com/TheLongView
