Thanks for coming back. We missed you! Those three other woodworking podcasters are SOOOOO boring! (But also super smart… you really should listen to them.)

Just listened to the new episode. Thanks for not quitting guys! Quick question. Shannon, what was the wood you mentioned during the yoga blocks segment that is extremely light and could be used in place of heavier woods for the yoga blocks?

Jay’s setup has a piece of wood to prevent it from spinning alongside the leg. The wedge idea works pretty well for being very simple with a nail sticking up to grab it with your foot to move it in and out of the vise.

Welcome back. I found you guys last September and have been listening ever since. I almost gave up on hearing from you again until I heard that it was an unannounced break.

I’m glad you’re back and and haven’t quit. I decided I will listen at least until I figure out what these ‘guild project’ references you keep dropping are.

Can’t believe the title of this episode isn’t “Nothing was ready for milking”. Maybe next weeks episode will be called “Ready to be Milked”
