On today’s show, we’re talking about the pros and cons of cordless tools, using Blade Cote on a SawStop, workbench setup for a southpaw, and how our design sensibilities have changed over the years.

What’s on the Bench

• Marc cut the big bevels on the table legs before heading out on vacation and is prepping the shop so it’s not awful to come back to.
• Matt is working on a coffee table commission.
• Shannon made a cheese slicer, because Woodcraft told him to.

Kickback

• Michael Summer shares his experience with Mike Farrington’s sanding disc, especially the benefits of the taper, the clean edge it produces, and the ability to keep two grits loaded.
• Freddie also writes in about the Mike Farrington double-taper sanding disc and says it’s fantastic for casework, glue lines, sheet goods, cabinet parts, and sneaking up on final dimensions.

Questions

• Davie Brown asks whether using Blade Cote on a SawStop blade could cause problems with the brake system or electronics.
• Rich asks how the guys’ design sensibilities have changed over the years and whether Matt has found a new kind of figure to fancy.
• Ed Lilla asks how a left-handed woodworker should think about bench workholding and vise placement.
