  • Great Info and Perspectives

    I’ve been listening to these folks about a year off and on. They’ve got great honest advice for new and long time woodworkers. There’s the perspective of the professional cabinet maker and realities of hobbyists with experience. They’re not pushing products and just talking shop. Worth the listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Much Glue?, Using Hickory, Veneer Projects, and MORE!!!
Q: Evan asks about methods for miter keys in a large frame and thickness considerations.
They cover alternatives to large 45-degree jig slots, including biscuit joiners, dowels, dominoes for internal support, and even back-side reinforcement with biscuits, dowels, or metal fasteners depending on thickness and frame size.
How Much Glue?, Using Hickory, Veneer Projects, and MORE!!!
Q: Matt asks about designing an outfeed table that is multi-use and space-efficient.
The hosts discuss flip-up or removable outfeed table concepts, the balance between outfeed and assembly work surfaces, and the impact on workshop footprint, with a leaning toward flip-up designs for space efficiency in tighter shops.
How Much Glue?, Using Hickory, Veneer Projects, and MORE!!!
Q: Doug asks about wood acclimation and milling in production shops versus hobbyist setups.
The hosts explain that production shops often have less need to mill in strict, slow stages due to climate-controlled environments and higher throughput, but some practitioners still mill in stages to relieve tension; Hobbyist cellars may mill more gradually, using pre-milling and staged reductions to control cupping and warping.
Skill Progression, CNC Hold Downs, "Feel" of a Finish and MORE!!!
Q: For laser engraving and CNC workholding, what practical tips help improve results, especially with pine and variable grain density?
Test with the tool's built-in or software-specific test features to dial in speeds and powers; use reliable hold-down methods (t-track, screws, double-sided tape, or plywood spoil boards with proper patterns); pre-finish or use UV-inhibited finishes to manage blotching on pine.
Mouse Poop?, Dark wood Marking, Veneer Glue and MORE!!!
Q: What steps would you take to disinfect wood with mouse droppings without damaging the wood?
Avoid bleach; instead use isopropyl or denatured alcohol to wipe the surface, then let it dry. If necessary, mill the surface later to ensure any contamination is removed.
