What is it with these non-Matt’s filling in for Matt! I demand that other Matt’s fill in for Matt. I’d even settle for almost Matt’s like Mattias, Mateo, or Matilda.

In all seriousness, great show guys, you make Tuesdays at work better, for about an hour.

I have been watching Marc for quite awhile and recently subscribed to Matt, but only just discovered this Pod Cast. Never would have thought a Audio podcast about Woodworking could be interesting, but I absolutely love the format. I listened to 20+ episodes last week while preparing items for a Holiday Craft Market. You all were great company. Great blend of humor, discussion and information. Keep it Up. I will be a listener from now on and look forward to it.

I really enjoyed Shannon’s detailed explanation of Honduras Mahogany vs African Mahogany vs Sapele… Don’t get me wrong, I was completely lost on a good portion of the conversation, but at the same time, learned a lot about the differences. I truly do enjoy when the guys dig a little deeper and get a little more granular on some topics. I have to say, Shannon, you ARE the smartest person that I know… but not personally know. Love the show, love Marc, Matt and Shannon, and the guest appearances have been a great addition. I always look forward to the next episode!
