The female intro … “wood werkers” .. “wood wackers”??? Yikes! :~D
I thought the enviro information was really interesting. But of course, that’s my field.
Oh, I read a post on lumber jocks re: books recommended by Popular Woodworking June 2011 ? The Craft Classics in Just 5?. Where are the women? I had to agree with him.
Yes, on the cams for WIA! I can’t make it. Helmet cam, helmet cam!!!
Thanks as always for doing this, I always learn something and generally laugh my way through it.
I was wondering who would pick up on the “wood wackers” part, lol. And good question about the lack of female representation… sup wit dat?
Who is that lovely Brit and what is her phone number? 😉
I concur about the lovely lady.
You guys definitely need a good looking sexy sounding lady to add a little spice to the show. Could be like “Tool Time”, Tim, Al, and the lovely Lisa or Heidi.
Either way, bring her back on for the next show and just talk about what she wants to talk about 🙂
On the proportions, Shannon mentioned that tables are normally the height is 4/7 of the width, and drawer handles are 2/3 of the height of the drawer front from the bottom. Is there someplace to find more of the “normal ratio’s”
I’m not positive that he lists the proportions out for these “normal ratios”, but you’ll find some great discussions on the topic over at George Walker’s blog:

Wassup Guys,
Haha, if Shannon is really serious about a helmet cam, I recommend the GoPro. It’s meant for extreme sports like surfing, mountain biking, snowboarding and woodworking so I think it’ll fit the bill.

One thing I found annoying with the Shop Planner tool was that it required a minimum shop size and my space (10’x22′) is smaller than the size.
Did Nicole learn an English accent? Lol. I’d love to come to WIA, but I’ll be starting college at that point. >:(
Watched the youtube video for japaneese woodworking…that was great! I really wish that I had that much time on my hands.
I guess they really are wood whackers…they just coordinate the sounds that result….and why don’t we have a wood phone here?

Trying to download the MP3 file. The download fails and indicates that there is no file. Help!
Try again. Fixed it.
The link worked like a charm. Thanks!
