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?

“Shannon drones on about…” Holy crap, that’s hysterical.
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.
haha thanks for listening. The Guild is my premium project site. Cremona builds there with me as well as a few new instructors. Check it out: http://thewoodwhispererguild.com
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”
Shannon, I know what you did in 1995: https://www.reddit.com/r/iamverybadass/comments/86swhm/kiss_my_ass_high/?st=JF5SU7I9&sh=04fae356
Here is a bit more information on the wood product that you were talking about Shannon. Also a pretty cool video about the strength of the material.
