  • 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.
