What's on the Bench

- Shannon blew off the world and went bikepacking.
- Matt is cleaning up to do more sawmilling.
Kickback
Last episode we had a question from Simon about loss of grip strength and how he should deal with it. We got some good suggestions:
- Brian suggests "Hand-i-craft" also has nerve damage in their hand, leading to them coming up with some interesting approaches to woodworking: https://www.youtube.com/@hand-i-craft
- Tommaso suggests: check out Essential Craftsman channel, he has a friend he works with who is an exceptional woodwork. The guy suffered a stroke and lost control of his dominant side, and theres a few videos on how he's dealing with it.
- Marc suggests @delbasidtimbers on IG - https://www.instagram.com/delbasidtimbers/
- Butch is impressed by how hard we work when we are actually getting paid to do the show.
Listener Questions
- Tom is making small, 3" ish circles with a router and template and seeks advice on a safe and clean way to do it. Marc suggests a sanding jig instead of a router and referenced this video from Bob Lang: https://youtu.be/m6FfXUAPx1w?si=XuydD01MByNN83DH
- John is building a workbench and asks about getting quartersawn material vs flatsawn material.
- Brandon is looking for a resource to help him identify trees so he can buy logs and know what he is getting.
