What’s On the Dining Table
Drew has been asked to do a woodworking demonstration at a local fall festival and this sparks a discussion about what kind of demonstrations can be done when time and power tools might be difficult to come by.
Kickback
- Corey has some advice on shop layout using a low tech method of cardboard cutouts.

- Cory asks about the usefulness of a shoulder plane for truing up his tenons.
- Kyle asks us how we deal with splinters.
