What’s on the Bench


  • Marc talks about the recent open house, the final stages of the dining table, and the loss of Duggee.
  • Matt is rehabbing a bandsaw.
  • Shannon is doing some flea market flipping.

Kickback


  • Janae writes in after watching episode 609 and hearing Alex Snodgrass talk about bandsaw blades that break at the weld. Less than two hours later, her new-to-her Grizzly bandsaw made a loud pop. Because of the episode, she calmly shut down the saw, confirmed the break happened at the weld, and contacted the manufacturer.
  • Kaylin asks why more cordless tool platforms don’t offer AC adapters like Metabo’s 36V line.
  • Joshua shares his experience upgrading to a premium Milwaukee cordless set and how much better it has been for drilling, fence work, concrete, mixing mud and paint, and property cleanup.
  • We also get a list of Ten Reasons I Hate Marc.

Questions


  • Joel Bjornstad asks why chisel work improved so much after moving from the floor to a Roubo-style workbench. Is it posture, physics, or woodworking magic?
  • Monte Bell asks how to manage customer expectations when commissioned furniture takes longer than expected.
  • Emil built a 6 1/4" thick southern yellow pine workbench top and wants to know how thick a top can be while still working with vises, bench dogs, and holdfasts.
