One reply on “532 – Tell Me About Your Balls”
Just watched the video on modifying the built in next to the fireplace and after the glue incident, I thought for sure the title on the video would have been a little different given the recent run on titles for wood talk.
Not sure if they still make it, but I once picked up a blade for my multitool from bosch – it was a carbide tipped version that would cut metal and wood, very useful for those situations when you just want to keep cutting regardless of what is in the way.
Otherwise, fun watching Marc using all of the good tools to knock out that project……make sure to send your back saw to Shannon so he can straighten out that blade after you set the tape measure on it 😉
In jest, always love the content and keep up the good work and enjoy that TV – totally agree with the mod!
