What’s On the Bench
- Marc finished the book press.
- Matt is applying finish to the breakfast table.
- Shannon taught a bunch of 7th graders how to build stuff.
Kickback and Stuff
- Andy responds to our “what is the legends had modern tools and YouTube” by saying that it might get ugly considering Jame Krenov was known to have called Sam Maloof a “router jockey”.
- John asks if any of us compete on our bikes or just ride for fun and leisure.
Listener Questions
- Tech Support asks if any of us avoid sharpening certain tools.
- Matt asks how we manage extra footage when filming in order to get through loads of clips more efficiently.

While listening to episode 603, you stated you were in party pace for bicycling. Have you considered Ragbrai in Iowa? Week long of camping, biking, boozing, and eating across Iowa.
