Summary

It’s show #581 - On today’s show, we’re talking about…making stains suck less, cutting angled tenons, and what to do with all that ash? PLUS we have a new sponsor of the show!

What's on the Bench

Marc is building with epoxy!
Shannon is finishing with a ketchup packet.
Matt is finishing up kitchen stuff and still sawing stuff too.

Kickback

Joe reaches back out to us to say his hand plane issues were because of the "friggin' frog" in the wrong place.
Andy wants to tell us about a new modeling software at Layout.computer that was designed for chair makers but has now added a casework component too.
Brandon offers the advice of putting an air filter outboard of the intake on his dehumidifier and what a difference it has made.
Andrew calls in to share his surgeon father's advice about being cut with a dull tool or sharp tool, spoiler alert, "flappy bits" is a technical term.

New Sponsor - Woodcraft

We reminisce about our early Woodcraft store experiences and the classes we have taken there. We are thrilled to be a part of that journey for other woodworkers and look forward to working with Woodcraft.

Listener Questions

David wants to know why stains suck so much and we try to tell him they don't...and fail. Marc suggests making a blotch control to help with stain absorption.
Steve looks for advice on making angled tenons for a chair using power tools. Angled mortise or angled tenon?
Paul has several Ash logs that were killed by the Ash Borer and asks for advice on what to do with them.
Steve is taking a trip to Japan and wants to know some woodworking related stuff to see. We don't know but want to know so are asking the audience for advice. Write/call in and tell us your suggestions.
