Some kind of interview taking place in the ocean from an unknown Spanish language show. It appears that the one in the white long sleeved dress shirt was the one being interviewed while the interviewer (who spoke much less) was the one in short sleeves. Wish I knew what was being said and the backstory behind this.
Review received resumes and find the candidates to interview. The panel rates them and agrees on a number to interview. Keep the number small because each interview will take a substantial amount of time in preparation and in the actual meeting.
I'm vying for a new position at work and have a 2nd interview for it today. So the uncomfy dress clothes make another appearance!

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Becky Marshall, Designer & DIY'er & blogger from Chicago, Illinois. Becky is making all kind of beautiful pieces from recycled wooden pallets; you can follow the work of Becky on its website: Flipping The Flip. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
I’m Becky, a do-er of copious things and I live in Chicago, Illinois. I’m married to a fantastic and very forgiving guy, Mike, and we have one giant four-legged fur baby Finn. I worked professionally in theater for many a year doing props and designing scenery then went to grad school for Interior Architecture, worked for several architects, and am currently working in the TV/Film industry as a set designer. My most recent show is The Exorcist for Fox. I also have a spiffy blog going called Flipping the Flip.
Why do you craft?
I’ve never done any different, really. I was always a quirky crafty creative kid from the get-go and never grew out of it. It’s a part of who I am.
How did you learn to do wood crafts?
If I’m going to be truly honest, and this will date me somewhat: it was a wood shop class in fourth grade. (Don’t try to figure it out.) I loved it, had so much fun, and still have the first thing I created hanging on my wall.
How long have you been working with pallets?
Not very long actually. Mainly because I hadn’t had a place for a workshop until three years ago when we purchased our house. Now that we have a basement, I’ve built a workbench and am growing my tool collection, so the need for inexpensive wood began arising.
Why did you choose to work with pallets instead of purchased wood?
There were several reasons that prompted pallet wood use: I discovered a pallet rehabber nearby, he puts loads of wood out daily, it’s free, and for the aesthetics of the wood. He gets an amazing variety of wood ranging from pine, oak, mahogany, birch, as well as other types. But really, the draw of free and already aesthetically pleasing do the trick for me.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
My cordless screw gun. If I didn’t have a husband and a dog, I’d probably curl up with that at night. Gorilla glue is a constant hero in my life. My miter saw is ranking right up there. But of course Mike and Finn take the top two slots.
Are there any brands that are your favorites?
I can be mighty brand loyal once I find the right thing for the right use. My screw gun is DeWalt and has been for oodles years, decades at this point. My palm sander is also a DeWalt which I adore. Bosch has been my favorite for a jigsaw though my glorious, best-one-ever was stolen a few years ago and I’ve been heartbroken since.
How would you describe your crafting style?
I tend toward modern, minimal in general, so as such, most things I create are cleaner lined. I’m a fan of Mid-Century Modern and the 1970’s aesthetic so those genres get tossed in the mix. I’m finding a certain amount of loud, crazy, big and fun, eclectic in a sense creep in too.
Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I studied art history, interior design, and architecture for countless years so my list is probably far too lengthy to go on about. In brief, though, Antoni Gaudi is my favorite architect and a couple designers I want to grow up to be are Abigail Ahern and Antonio Ballatore.
Where do you do your wood crafts? How would you describe your workspace?
Most of the magic happens in the basement of our house. The space is on the small side and it’s not the most ideal but I can get an amazing amount of stuff done down there. I built two workbenches for a total length of nine feet; one is portion is raised higher while the other portion lower for the miter saw. I’ve documented the whole (ongoing) process over on my blog.
How did you make your work space more functional and/or inspiring?
To have an actual workspace is inspiring in itself to me! I’m constantly improving and tweaking the space, sometimes on a daily basis. Add some storage here, add some organization there; it’s a never-ending process. At one point I mixed my own black chalkboard paint and painted the entire wall behind the workbench.
What types of things inspire you?
I’m one of those people who finds inspiration in anything and everything. I say “one of those” as I find when people say that, it sounds haughty but it’s true. A corner of something can influence an entire project for me. The key is to keep an open mind, open eye, and let the creativity wander.
Where do you look for inspiration for a new woodcraft?
Generally it stems from a need. Other times, it springs from the wood itself but more often than not, it’s out of a need.
When do you feel the most creative?
It’s an ebb and flow kind of thing for sure, and it does pop out of nowhere at weird or awkward times, but after having a thorough sit-and-think session I’m usually pretty riled to get at a project.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
Well I could go on about this forever. It’s terribly satisfying to make something with your own two hands. That and making things by hand allows one to think, use all parts of their brains, to get up and move around, to slow down, to appreciate the world around them.
What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?
Paint is surely one of my favorites, whether it be painting the house or using craft paint on a project. Or truly, if it involves a power tool, count me in.
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Get to it! What are you waiting for! My biggest tip is that there are no such things as mistakes; a mistake is a lesson and a chance to try again. Start small, don’t expect perfection, and it’s ok to let the project lead you instead of the reverse.
What are your most important safety tips when woodworking?
Safety is key. Eye protection, ear protection, gloves are the very basics. Read and heed directions. If you’re unsure about a tool or technique, study up, go slow, and work smart.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Interesting question. My homemade chocolate cream pie? I can’t say I feel too guilty about inhaling that, though I probably should. I guess I try not to feel guilty as we only go around once.
What are some of your other hobbies or favorite things to do (other than crafting)?
My main hobby, which is more than a hobby, is un-flipping, or maybe re-flipping, our flipped house. Or to be clearer, we purchased our house from a flipper who not only had horrifying taste, he also did things poorly, quickly, or cheaply, or a combination of all three, so it has become my duty to undo it all, redo it correctly. That whole story is what I’m documenting over on my blog, Flipping the Flip.
What are some of your best tips for breaking down, prepping, and cleaning pallets before you build with them?
I have never done this so I cannot proffer any good tips, unfortunately. The pallet rehabber I visit has already broken down and chopped up the pallets; the pieces I grab are his leftover bits or pieces he lets me take from his mill.
Have you designed any special tools or jigs for wood crafts?
Oh sure, of course. When money is tight or the right gizmo does not exist or I’m feeling too lazy to run out and get it, doing so is a necessity.
What are some wood working skills you really want to learn?
My next goal is to learn some basic router business as I recently purchased a palm router, despite not being terribly interested in a router. I’m more of a per-project skill learner but I do make a concerted effort to keep up the learning. I never shy away from a project if it requires a new tool or learning something.
What is the one project you’re the proudest of so far?
Pallet-wise it’s a toss up between my pallet wood pantry floor and my pallet wood vertical blinds.
What else would you like to share with the pallet community?
Please do come visit my blog, Flipping the Flip, at humboldtartdept.blogspot.com. Aside from 1001Pallets, I can be found roaming Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram here: @humboldtartdept. Got some of my crafty goodies for sale over on Etsy, humboldtartdept as well. And hey, thanks for having me!
Editor’s Note: Thank you for your time and for sharing your story with us, and with our fellow Crafters. Your work is beautiful and inspiring to all of us, and we truly look forward to more from you in the future! Keep those gorgeous pieces coming!
Thanks Becky for this interview :)

Karen after finishing her backing vocals. The screenshot for the video is priceless. That's what you get for making funny faces, Karen :)
Transcript:
Nelson: Karen Rustad, you've just finished recording all of your vocals for the Stay Awake album. How does it feel?
Karen: Uhhhhhheehhhhhhhhh [Karen fakes dying]
Nelson: Speak words, woman.
Karen: :P Nah, it's good. I'm glad we got it done in time - barely. I'm happy with the new harmonies we were able to add on, maybe. We'll see... It's something different!
Nelson: Alright. And what was your favorite song to record?
Karen: Probably Contained. It was easy. And, sounds good as ever.
Nelson: OK, least favorite?
Karen: Break Free took too long! Ohmigod! I think it'll sound really cool, but it took *forever*, and I had problems with pitch, until I realized that it's a lot easier if you only cover one ear.
Nelson: Interesting. So just having one ear outside the headphones...
Karen: Yeah, even though you have a monitor feeding it back to you, for some reason it's a lot easier if I hear my voice for real, rather than it being broadcast back. A lot easier for me to adjust.
Nelson: OK! And how do you think the album is coming?
Karen: I think it's coming really good! This is wayyy better-sounding than the previous attempt. And I expect it's going to be really playable and I hope that it gets lots of interwebs attention :D
Nelson: Alright, well, thank you :)

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to David Prates who make all kind of originals objects from recycled pallets. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you. Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is David Prates and I’m happily married to my wife Penni. We have a beautiful daughter named Emily who is nearly 6. I grew up in Tennessee and I currently live in Kentucky.
Why do you craft?
Apart from my career of construction project engineering, I love woodworking and have been crafting on and off for about 10 years. It’s a hobby that I love and enjoy thoroughly.
How did you learn to do wood crafts?
I suppose woodworking sparked an interest with me since I naturally like to be creative through design. I picked up the basics by working as a carpenter early on while I attended college.
How long have you been working with pallets?
To be honest, not long. I traditionally always purchased wood via the local hardware store, but I noticed the potential of repurposed wood by way of pallets through YouTube and was intrigued.
Small Pallet Shelf Displays Essential Oils
Why did you choose to work with pallets instead of purchased wood?
It may sound silly, but I think repurposed wood has an organic history and character that just can’t be bought.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
Easy, my table saw! Most of the basic shaping of what I do is done with it. (Editor’s note: watch his videos – he knows how to get the most out of his table saw!)
Are there any brands or products you use that are your favorites? Why?
I like Dewalt and Porter Cable products since they are entry level woodworking tools and most are reasonably priced. However, that’s not to say there aren’t many other brands that are equally as good.
How would you describe your crafting style?
Probably rustic, if I had to put a label on it.
Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I think having a YouTube channel and sharing with others has opened all kinds of doors to ordinary DIY folks that are very creative and innovative. It’s easy to woodwork when you have all the expensive toys but the real creativity reflects though those who use the limited tools they have and still produce extraordinary things.
Where do you do your wood crafts? How would you describe your workspace?
I just work out of my garage. lol It’s a perfect space for me. I live in a very friendly neighborhood and it’s not uncommon for someone to step inside my garage and ask, "What are you working on?".
Where do you look for inspiration, or what inspires you for a new wood craft?
Others! The internet with sites like 1001Pallets has loads of people with unlimited potential.
When do you feel the most creative (are you a night owl or a morning person? Or weekend warrior as examples)?
I usually feel most creative in the morning. I get a cup of coffee in me and I’m ready!
Diy Pallet Incense Coffin (Or Burner)
We live in such a mass-produced, "buy-it-now" society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
There is just something awesome about making it yourself. You can’t buy that feeling. Woodworking is a craft anyone can do and it’s an art that should be cherished.
What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?
I just love working with wood, any kind of wood. To me it’s almost like clay or metal or any other malleable material. It can be shaped into nearly anything!
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Build something you like, not what you think someone else may like. In turn, chances are most people will like the same thing. Use what tools you have. Great things can be made with the most basic of tools. Most importantly, learn from watching others.
What are your most important safety tips when woodworking? Have you ever had any injuries or close calls?
I like my hearing and my sight, so I protect both with PPE.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Buying tools! lol I can never have enough. Ask my wife, as she will attest that you will find me in a hardware store every weekend. If I’m not buying something, I’m at least looking for what I want to buy in the future.

What are some of your other hobbies or favorite things to do (other than crafting)?
I design and engineer for a career so I love to mess with AutoCAD and other designing programs like Sketchup.
What are some of your best tips for breaking down, prepping, and cleaning pallets before you build with them? Do you have a specific tool you use, or a technique for cleaning the boards/removing nails, etc.?
I have found that a Sawzall works best to cut between the slats and the cross bracing. The nails can be then backed out from the slats with a hammer and a punch.
Have you designed any special tools or jigs for wood crafts?
Really the only jig I use at this point is a table saw sled. It is great for cross cuts and prevents kick back.
What are some wood working skills you really want to learn?
Where to start! Scrolling, laths, inlays, dovetail joints and the list goes on.
What is the one project you’re the proudest of so far?
My daughter, but that is an ongoing project! J In all seriousness, I would say I am most proud of an old-style gas pump I made entirely of wood, with a lit-up display and light globe at the top. I love to have it on in my garage while I work.

I already have The Interview Silkstone, but I bought her nude with her hair down, and possibly trimmed. I also bought her complete fashion three years ago, but always wanted her complete. I love how stylish this Silkstone is. Hoping to just display her as is one day if I ever get the space!!
