LIVE from HAVEN 2022: Jay, Jay Munee DIY (Organization Conversation, Episode 30)

This show was originally broadcast live from the 2022 HAVEN Conference held at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia.

Organization Conversation is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

About Richard Grove

Richard Grove, Host, Organization Conversation

Richard Grove‘s background is in engineering but what he enjoys most is brand building through relationships and creative marketing. Richard began his career with the Department of Defense as an engineer on the C-5 Galaxy Engineering Team based out of Warner Robins. While Richard found this experience both rewarding and fulfilling, he always knew deep down that he wanted to return to the small family business that originally triggered his interest in engineering.

Richard came to work for the family business, Dekalb Tool & Die, in 2008 as a Mechanical Engineer. At the time Wall Control was little more than a small ‘side hustle’ for Dekalb Tool & Die to try to produce some incremental income. There were no “Wall Control” employees, just a small warehouse with a single tool and die maker that would double as an “order fulfillment associate” on the occasion that the original WallControl.com website, which Richard’s grandmother built, pulled in an order.

In 2008, it became apparent that for the family business to survive they were going to have to produce their own branded product at scale to ensure jobs remained in-house and for the business to continue to move forward. Richard then turned his attention from tool and die to Wall Control to attempt this necessary pivot and his story with Wall Control began. Since that time, Richard has led Wall Control to significant growth while navigating two recessions.

About Wall Control

The Wall Control story began in 1968 in a small tool & die shop just outside Atlanta, Georgia. The first of three generations began their work in building a family-based US manufacturer with little more than hard work and the American Dream.

Over the past 50+ years, this family business has continued to grow and expand from what was once a small tool & die shop into an award-winning US manufacturer of products ranging from automobile components to satellite panels and now, the best wall-mounted tool storage system available today, Wall Control.

The Wall Control brand launched in 2003 and is a family-owned and operated business that not only produces a high-quality American Made product but sees the entire design, production, and distribution process happen under their own roof in Tucker, Georgia. Under that same roof, three generations of American Manufacturing are still hard at work creating the best tool storage products available today.

LIVE from WORKBENCHcon 2022: Sean McBride, Charleston Crafted (Organization Conversation, Episode 27)

Starting from scratch, Sean McBride taught himself woodworking to create furniture for himself and his wife. Now working together they have a weekly blog focused on projects to transform your home. Sean was at WORKBENCcon 2022 and sat down with Richard Grove in the Wall Control booth. Sean mentioned how it evolved for him, his philosophy to make projects easy and accessible for anyone, his experience at WORKBENCHcon and much more.

Sean McBride, Charleston Crafted

Morgan & Sean McBride are crafting their home together in Charleston, South Carolina.

They blog at Charleston Crafted to share with you their experiences on transforming their home into a dream home. They are also empowering YOU to try DIY by showing you easy ways to make a huge impact in your home.

Sean and Morgan have a beautiful son and daughter named Luke and Rory, a beagle named CiCi Sabathia, and a fluffy grey cat named Bear Grylls.

From 2012 to 2016, they lived in a two-bedroom condo and started this blog to share the projects while decorating and living in that condo. You can see the whole condo tour here.

In July of 2016, they bought their first house. It was a bit of a fixer in that the bones were great, but they wanted to take down a few walls and, in general, bring the home into this decade and their style with DIY projects and design. This was where they turned the blog into a business featuring these projects and bringing them to you.

In 2020, they bought their second home and then had a baby 10 days later. The home is much more modern but very builder-boring as the previous owners did nothing. Morgan and Sean are spicing it up and showing you all the projects you can do!

LIVE from WORKBENCHcon 2022: Michael Spencer, Spencer Woodworks (Organization Conversation, Episode 26)

Michael Spencer, the owner of Spencer Woodworks, joined Stephanie of Uncommon Outpost and Wall Control for a conversation live from WORKBENCHcon 2022. Michael described transitioning from his military career into woodworking. He talked about what kinds of custom pieces he creates, the advantages of being able to work at home with his family, how they built his shop in one day, and much more.

Organization Conversation is produced by the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Michael Spencer, Owner, Spencer Woodworks

Spencer Woodworks is a custom woodworking business that creates original cabinetry, built-ins, one-of-a-kind furniture, and live-edge/slab furniture.

They enjoy working with clients from the beginning to the end of a project to design, build and finish custom pieces that suit their spaces and lives perfectly.

Michael uses 3D modeling to make sure that each piece is exactly what the client wants and needs in their specific space. He enjoys the personal stories associated with each project and the relationships built in the process.

After a twenty-year military career as a UH-60 Blackhawk pilot, Michael is accustomed to a high level of attention to detail in his work. He enjoys the conceptualizing and problem-solving that comes with design and the process and craftsmanship that goes into building quality furniture and cabinetry.

Woodworking began as a hobby for Michael during an especially stressful period in his Army career. He appreciated the way that woodworking captivated his brain in a challenging but peaceful way. He found satisfaction in this activity that simultaneously engaged his mind, hands, and heart.

About Wall Control

The Wall Control story began in 1968 in a small tool & die shop just outside Atlanta, Georgia. The first of three generations began their work in building a family-based US manufacturer with little more than hard work and the American Dream.

Over the past 50+ years, this family business has continued to grow and expand from what was once a small tool & die shop into an award-winning US manufacturer of products ranging from automobile components to satellite panels and now, the best wall-mounted tool storage system available today, Wall Control.

The Wall Control brand launched in 2003 and is a family-owned and operated business that not only produces a high-quality American Made product but sees the entire design, production, and distribution process happen under their own roof in Tucker, Georgia. Under that same roof, three generations of American Manufacturing are still hard at work creating the best tool storage products available today.

About Richard Grove

Richard Grove, Host, Organization Conversation

Richard Grove‘s background is in engineering but what he enjoys most is brand building through relationships and creative marketing. Richard began his career with the Department of Defense as an engineer on the C-5 Galaxy Engineering Team based out of Warner Robins. While Richard found this experience both rewarding and fulfilling, he always knew deep down that he wanted to return to the small family business that originally triggered his interest in engineering.

Richard came to work for the family business, Dekalb Tool & Die, in 2008 as a Mechanical Engineer. At the time Wall Control was little more than a small ‘side hustle’ for Dekalb Tool & Die to try to produce some incremental income. There were no “Wall Control” employees, just a small warehouse with a single tool and die maker that would double as an “order fulfillment associate” on the occasion that the original WallControl.com website, which Richard’s grandmother built, pulled in an order.

In 2008, it became apparent that for the family business to survive they were going to have to produce their own branded product at scale to ensure jobs remained in-house and for the business to continue to move forward. Richard then turned his attention from tool and die to Wall Control to attempt this necessary pivot and his story with Wall Control began. Since that time, Richard has led Wall Control to significant growth while navigating two recessions.

LIVE from WORKBENCHcon 2022: Doug Pisik, Wood Artist (Organization Conversation, Episode 21)

Wood artist Doug Pisik was host Richard Grove’s guest LIVE from WORKBENCHcon 2022 in the Wall Control booth. Doug described the types of projects he does, including highly decorative wood boxes, custom work, and art pieces for galleries and events. He and Richard talked about his transition out of corporate work, his workshop, tool organization, and more.

Organization Conversation is produced by the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Doug Pisik, Wood Artist

Doug Pisik, Wood Artist

Doug Pisik has received awards in many juried exhibits of national artists, been part of over a dozen museum exhibitions, collaborated with other recognized artists, and he has accepted large commissions including several from Home Depot, Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre, and the Smith Gilbert Gardens.  He is classified as a “Master Woodworker” from the Woodworker’s Guild of Georgia. His work is collected by Tony and Emmy award winners, movie producers, CEOs, and other artists and can be found in collections coast-to-coast and in Europe and Israel.

His work is often composed of unique geometric patterns generated out of highly contrasting woods with a perfected technique called “Through-Pattern Construction” allowing complex patterns to pass from the outside through to the inside of his boxes and to the backside of his sculptures ensuring every facet is finely decorated.

Dyes and stains are typically avoided and instead, Pisik continuously searches for woods with naturally contrasting colors and tones to accent his work.  Some of his pieces are constructed with over a dozen species of wood and are composed of over a thousand pieces seamlessly joined together into a solid composition.
