What's on the Bench

• Marc is building with epoxy!
• Shannon is finishing with a ketchup packet.
• Matt is finishing up kitchen stuff and still sawing stuff too.

Kickback

• Joe reaches back out to us to say his hand plane issues were because of the "friggin' frog" in the wrong place.
• Andy wants to tell us about a new modeling software at Layout.computer that was designed for chair makers but has now added a casework component too.
• Brandon offers the advice of putting an air filter outboard of the intake on his dehumidifier and what a difference it has made.
• Andrew calls in to share his surgeon father's advice about being cut with a dull tool or sharp tool, spoiler alert, "flappy bits" is a technical term.

New Sponsor - Woodcraft

We reminisce about our early Woodcraft store experiences and the classes we have taken there. We are thrilled to be a part of that journey for other woodworkers and look forward to working with Woodcraft.

Listener Questions

• David wants to know why stains suck so much and we try to tell him they don't...and fail. Marc suggests making a blotch control to help with stain absorption.
• Steve looks for advice on making angled tenons for a chair using power tools. Angled mortise or angled tenon?
• Paul has several Ash logs that were killed by the Ash Borer and asks for advice on what to do with them.
• Steve is taking a trip to Japan and wants to know some woodworking related stuff to see. We don't know but want to know so are asking the audience for advice. Write/call in and tell us your suggestions.
