With passions in both photography and woodworking, Frank blends the two seamlessly to give his viewers a unique view of his various project processes (such as strapping a camera to his lathe!!??).

In his latest video released this past weekend, Frank gives us a rundown of how he turned a stump of raw wood into a well-balanced stool:

Keep up the great work, Frank!
