What's On the Bench

Marc is cutting really big tenons.
Matt is wrapping up his breakfast bench build for the Guild.
Shannon wants to buy a pneumatic elevator and bought caning supplies.

Kickback and Stuff

Lee from Regal Street Woodworks writes in to explain his end grain jointing process.
David shares a tale of changed shorts when jointing end grain turned a cookie into a frisbee.
Luke built a weekend project using "wisdom" from all 3 of us...but mostly his newly honed sharpening skills gained from a class at his local Woodcraft store.

Listener Questions

Nate asks us to list some design resources after our discussion about how design isn't covered much in woodworking.
Dave is trying to make a bowl without a lathe using a hole saw and asks for advice to keep his bowl from flying across the shop.
Tyler is tempted by used hand saws and asks whether to sharpen himself or send off to an expert.
