Welcome to Wood Talk, for Woodworkers by Woodworkers.

Now here are three guys who have great personalities.

Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

All right, it's one talk number 179 for April 21st, 2014.

On today's show, we're talking about John's Vice Slippage, whether it's necessary to have both a router table

and a shaper, Elliot's shop upgrade, tension wood, and Dave's handplane technique.

All that is more coming up, but first let's hear a quick word from our sponsor.
