Tom Bodett of NPR fame takes us to his community woodworking shop

WCAX paid a visit to HatchSpace and caught up with founder and woodworker in chief Tom Bodett.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (WCAX) - You may not recognize his face, but you might know the name, and you almost definitely know the voice.

Tom Bodett spends a lot of time milling around Brattleboro. Because as much as you might associate him with radio, he’ll tell you he’s a woodworker.

“I have been a lifelong woodworker, but I got very serious about it about 30 years ago when I stopped drinking alcohol,” said Bodett.

With his new-found sobriety, he spent his Friday and Saturday nights tinkering around his workshop making furniture or knickknacks for kids. His woodworking foundation was already solid, having built houses out in Alaska.
