Dave Folts: B&W Photographer and Fine Woodworker

Dave Folts (aka my dad) is a black & white photographer and fine woodworker. We talk about art, traditional tools, and how to know when to stop.

What’s up, guys!

Welcome to another episode of the F the Lines podcast, the show where we talk about creativity, focus, happiness, and how to start a business that doesn’t eat you alive.

This week, I’m excited to talk with Dave Folts, aka my dad. He’s a black & white photographer, woodworker, and also someone who I’ve taken a ton of inspiration from over the years, because he’s always doing things a little differently.

He develops his own photos, makes amazing frames and boxes with locally-sourced woods (like fluorescent sumac), and restores antique furniture in his spare time.

We talk about the difference between art and craft, why he enjoys using traditional tools and techniques, how sketching cuts down on mistakes, and the best way to get started on a simple DIY woodworking project.

So, I hope you guys enjoy this episode with my dad, and I’ll see you on the other side.
