Wharton Esherick Museum Tour

⚙️ EPISODE #203: Tucked away in the beautiful countryside of Malvern, PA, just northwest of Philly, stands the homestead and studio of the late Wharton Esherick, Dean of American Craftsmen. During our 2023 Epic Adventure we stopped in to see and hear the story of his creative works as a Furniture Artist
, Sculptor, and Woodworker. It's all on display at Wharton Esherick Museum - www.whartonesh.... In honor of one of Wharton's mottos, "If it's not fun, it's not worth doing" -- we had a lot of fun... the visit was totally worth it. Enjoy our experience, and if you get a chance stop in there yourself! (Closed captioned)

A beautifully crafted tour and an incredible introduction to Esherick’s work. Thank you, Kris and Tom. Nicely filmed and edited.

[@markahlenius1962]

Thank you Tom and Kris for a great show. I know how much planning, shooting and editing work this took Kris, awesome job!

[@EpicWoodworking]

Thanks Mark, the camera lady went above and beyond on this one! 😎

[@steveskope2074]

Wonderful episode enjoyed it very much great work Kris and Tom thank you so much.

[@EpicWoodworking]

Thank you Steve! I bet you would love seeing this place firsthand 👍😎

[@sashak-r6621]

Thank you for this, you showed details I haven't seen other places, I have wanted to visit for many years but haven't gotten the chance to make the trip, I hope to someday in the not so distant future but until then I really appreciate the details you captured here, like the paint in between the grooves of different pieces of wood on the cabinet for example, that was never visible anywhere before that I have seen, wow

[@michaeldean2053]

Great show. Do more tours like this.

[@mikelongo4689]

[@ned711]

Thank you for the tour!

[@EpicWoodworking]

Our pleasure, thanks Ned!

[@luckydoggarage8229]

That was fascinating! I'm ashamed to say, I've lived up the street from the museum for many years but have never visited.

[@EpicWoodworking]

Oh wow, isn’t that the way it goes! I’ve lived close to Boston pretty much all my life and never checked out the “Freedom Trail” so popular with visitors 😎 Glad you enjoyed it!👍

[@andrew15002003]

Amazing place!

[@EpicWoodworking]

Agreed! 👍

[@victoryak86]

Tom once again I missed the live but never miss them by next day lol. This channel is the definition of “hidden gem!” I think in woodworking, the most sort of basic and or easy to achieve tends to be the most popular. The reality is that to get to the next level it takes time, and especially learning from people who really are skilled in the techniques and artistry. I don’t think there are that many channels that do what you do so keep up the exceptional work. It’s a huge blessing to many of us fortunate enough to have found your “school of woodworking “ and the Neighborwood.

[@EpicWoodworking]

Thanks Chris, what a great comment, I will savor that one! 👍😎

[@mikeminnick9712]

Here here! I am new to the channel and after watching a few I allow time to watch. Details are what’s missing in so many other shows.

[@studiohost]

Appreciate how the executive director kept to the narrative.

[@EpicWoodworking]

Yes, I agree. She, Julie Siglin, was very well spoken and her description flowed easily without notes, quite impressive! 👍

[@bentz98125]

What a gem, treat and privilege! With 4K views and a whole 22 comments I feel like a voyeur enjoying forbidden fruit. "The wisdom of crowds" must be an oxymoron. Great work!

[@jamesklove9629]

Thanks good video. I Thought you be watching the Patriots game

[@EpicWoodworking]

Thanks Jim, and yes you’re right, I was taping the game to watch later 😎

[@bentz98125]

Eluding algorithmic marketing is usually a win but something is completely off about the KZbin algorithm that I haven't known about this channel for years!
