Welcome to Wood Talk, for Woodworkers by Woodworkers.

Now here are three guys who, if combined, would make one hell of a woodworker.

Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

All right, it's Wood Talk Number 3.58 for February 17, 2017.

It's a weekend show.

Heo!

Whoa! After weekend everybody!

Yeah, today we don't have a single topic.

We've just got two email questions that we thought were pretty good.

They're not a single topic.

Not a single topic.

We're just going to do lots of dead air. We're just going to wing it. And neither one of these have anything to do with one another other than the fact that they have, you know, I guess they're both about work benches, but I just thought they were good questions. So Jeremy Ridley wrote in, he says, knowing the range of types of projects that the three of you typically do,

I'm wondering how useful actually is the dead man on a shaker slash rubo bench.

I'm sure this mostly depends on how much jointing you do,

edge jointing you do, but how much do each of you actually

find it useful?

So I'll go first with this.

Now, I actually find it incredibly useful and I hardly ever do edge jointing

I mean I might do it very quickly to clean up an edge you know for something that maybe the

joint or the it or the tables

all isn't clean enough so I just kind of give it a quick pass.

So it is of course very useful for that.
