  • Unintentionally love

    I found the podcast via YouTube and figured I’d browse and find a topic that was interesting. I listened to a couple episodes and it was a lot better than I had expected…. Like ALOT better. I didn’t intend on listening to more than a few episodes but now I’m working through the archive for a second time and itching for new episodes every day. You guys make sanding so much better.

  • Highly Entertaining and Informative

    I love this show for its entertainment value, approachable-ness (sp?), and the insights to common woodworking conundrums that even I, a fledgling woodworker, experience frequently. Awesome show all-around and I pray every night that Marc, Shannon, and Matt never quit.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Forklift Life - Wood Talk 589
Q: Can I run these through the planer?
Yes, making sure to check for any staples or cleats first as those could damage your blades. With regard to the oil-soaked cutting board, be cautious as it might gum up your planer.
The Forklift Life - Wood Talk 589
Q: Should I try to clean up my grandfather's old handsaw or leave it alone?
I generally suggest using the tools, but if you want to preserve the personal connection, consider cleaning it while also moisturizing the handle to prevent brittleness.
The Forklift Life - Wood Talk 589
Q: Have you ever tried to make your own finishes and if you've had good experience with it?
I have used beeswax and made my own wax mixtures. It's a common practice, but I wouldn't recommend it for larger pieces like dining tables as the finish is low luster and requires frequent retouching.
Bumping on It! - WT588
Q: Should I use penetrating epoxy on the entire slab or just the soft spots?
If the wood is very punky, apply the penetrating epoxy to the entire slab to stabilize it before flattening. This prevents blowout and helps achieve a more uniform appearance.
Bumping on It! - WT588
Q: Should I seal the pattern pieces with some sort of finish for longevity and wear?
It's probably not worth the effort to seal MDF pattern pieces unless you're concerned about how it looks. You could wax the surface for smoother routing, but in general, well-made MDF templates can last without sealing.
