Chat with Crafters Charles Audler

Marcus Williams is the owner of One Man, One Garage. I first discovered Marcus’ shop at the Nashville Flea Market. I was instantly drawn in by the look of his setup from a distance. Later I would find out that this mobile store is called the Retr-o-luxe. As I approached the Retr-o-luxe, I was instantly captivated by the intricacy of the designs. Each piece was meticulously designed to fit together like a puzzle. The details that were laser cut into wood were extremely precise and very ornate.
Having a design degree in Architecture, I couldn’t help but be totally fascinated by what I saw. The level of detail was amazing and beyond impressive. Needless to say that I was very excited to do this interview with Marcus. He shares LOTS of valuable feedback that you too can apply to your handmade business to jump start it today.
Anyway, this interview is one that you will not want to miss!
