Scaling Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship • 1h 15m
Nick Slavik owns Nick Slavik Painting and Restoration in New Prague, MN, hosts a weekly Ask-A-Painter show on Facebook that Noah would liken to This Old House, and presents masters classes at trade shows and conferences. He forgot to ask if he ever sleeps.
