A jig guides the tool.
A fixture holds the work.
I am interested in Shannon’s work insights. I do not think you need a new segment, just include any new news in the Whats New segment.
Great show
When you strop a plane blade do you need to take off the chip breaker?
Shannon should do more lumber industry updates. I am able to use that information for projects.
I am interested in Shannon’s wood industry insights.
Suggestion for a domain for Matt:
slab-o-Matt-ic.com
Yes! Shannon, please keep us updated on wood news. Appreciate the insight!
Regarding the cost of slabs:
A big part of the cost of slabs comes from the increasing scarcity of 2+ foot wide trees. Add to that the amount of time needed to replace that tree and it is easier to see why the cost is rising.
I imagine that you also get less overall yield milling a tree specifically for large slabs but not sure.
Definitely interested in the lumber business stuff. Always interesting to see how the donuts are made.
Thanks for including my “No Lathe” video, I appreciate it!
Shannon, I looked at the DMT website after you mentioned the MagnaBase and for the life of me I couldn’t find out where to get the extra-fine/extra-extra-fine option. The only seem to offer extra-fine/fine and coarse/extra-coarse. I appear the largest continuous bench stone they offer in extra-extra-fine is the 8″.
Do you have the double secret inside direct hook up for this mysterious extra-extra-fine MagnaBase, or were your synapses just getting discombobulated by Matt’s double double chocolate donut?
Mmmmmm…donuts

And that’s why you shouldn’t leave comments from your mobile device. Grammar much?
Yes, Shannon! I would actually love to hear a segment on the lumber industry!
