Kickback

- 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.
