What’s on the Bench? 

Marc: Started MCM table for friend of his

Matt: Finished the breakfast nook

Shannon: teaching sawing and chiseling

KICKBACK

Jeremy - Has some thoughts on losing a job and relying on the shop.

Bryan - Tells us his thought process behind using toothpicks.

Paul - I was wondering since Mother’s Day is so close and I’m not ready for it if you could put it off a couple of weeks so I have time to make a picture frame for my wife.

Questions!

David - I use the Jessem Table Saw guides and noticed Marc uses them also. I find that using a push stick with them isn't easy. The only one I find useful are the long stick type that is included with table saws. Which push stick do you use with the Jessem guides.

Brandon - Over the years, I've made many things I've eventually been proud of, but it seems like with every project, no matter how hard I try, no matter how careful I am, no matter how much planning I do, I mess up something smallish that I didn't need to. Examples (feel free to edit): I'll cut dados for shelves, and all but one of them will be nice and tight, but one of them will be a tiny bit oversized and have a visible gap. I'll carefully clamp pieces of a lumber cart together while gluing-and-screwing it, only to realize that one of the shelves is noticeably crooked when I finish. I'll drop a piece off the table saw or workbench, denting a corner that really needed to be crisp and sharp. I'll go to put my name on something with either my iron or my laser, but the placement will be slightly off or the iron will be too hot. Etc. Etc. Etc. Something like this seems to happen on almost every project. Sometimes it's my fault, sometimes it's just a random accident.

My question for you guys is this: When/how do you determine when a mistake/accident/major screw-up is significant enough to warrant repair vs. redoing vs. just giving up? Do you have a rule for your own work for when you ignore a mistake and just keep going, or are you all so awesome that a question about mistakes is alien to you? 

Silas - I love listening to the show I'm a teenager worker.I've only been woodworking for around a year now.I have a small job site table saw and a small lunchbox.Plainer , that's really it , I'm hoping soon to start building a small shed for my workshop.It will only be around sixteen by twelve I Want to know If you guys have any ideas on storage or anything, I'd love to hear like I said, I'm a beginner so I don't know that much.

Kickback

Last episode we had a question from Simon about loss of grip strength and how he should deal with it. We got some good suggestions:

- Brian suggests "Hand-i-craft" also has nerve damage in their hand, leading to them coming up with some interesting approaches to woodworking: https://www.youtube.com/@hand-i-craft

- Tommaso suggests: check out Essential Craftsman channel, he has a friend he works with who is an exceptional woodwork. The guy suffered a stroke and lost control of his dominant side, and theres a few videos on how he's dealing with it.

- Butch is impressed by how hard we work when we are actually getting paid to do the show.

Listener Questions

- Tom is making small, 3" ish circles with a router and template and seeks advice on a safe and clean way to do it. Marc suggests a sanding jig instead of a router and referenced this video from Bob Lang: https://youtu.be/m6FfXUAPx1w?si=XuydD01MByNN83DH

- John is building a workbench and asks about getting quartersawn material vs flatsawn material.

- Brandon is looking for a resource to help him identify trees so he can buy logs and know what he is getting.

It’s show #582 - On today’s show, we’re talking about tear out on cherry, stock prep time savings: planer or jointer, and there’s bugs in my nut wood.

Woodcraft is looking out for you guys. Do you know how?

They want to make sure you know what to expect when it comes to this whole tariff debacle. Because tariffs are obviously going to impact a LOT of the major power tool purchases woodworkers make in the foreseeable future.

So while details and dates are somewhat fluid, here are the most current timelines:

• JPW (that’s Jet and Powermatic): June 15th
• Laguna - July 1st
• Sawstop - Mid-July

Woodcraft is trying to be as transparent as possible and they’ll be sending out emails about this in the future. Bottom line is, prices are going up. Woodcraft didn’t set the prices so don’t shoot the messenger.

So if you’re in the market and were thinking about making a major purchase, it probably behooves you to do it now.

In fact, here’s one better. When you go to woodcraft.com, you’ll get a little popup offering you a discount for signing up for their newsletter. Do it, because you can save 10% off your first order. Exclusions apply so you’ll want to read that fine text but hey, a discount’s a discount.

Finally seek out the local craft shops and talk to the woodworkers. He found a shop called Inoue Hamono in Tokyo. The family/owners were friendly and helpful and I brought a dovetail chisel back to America.

• Drew was making a breadboard tenon and got some tearing along the baseline with his brand new straight router bit and asks why.
• Misha has short time in his shop like most of us and is looking to save time on stock prep but not wanting to buy both a jointer and a planer. Does he buy a planer or jointer? Can he get by with a planer alone? He does point out a pretty slick planer sled jig on Instagram.
• Steve has inherited some Butternut that was air dried and has some signs of bugs. What should he do with the material?

What's on the Bench

+Shannon is crafting a craft beer Christmas

+Matt is using drawer slides and wishes he wasn't

Kickback

So many of you wrote in to say how much the burnout episode spoke to you. From those dealing with the loss of a parent to those struggling to find time for woodworking. Burnout is a very real issue and we are so thankful for all of you who commented and took the time to write to us about your own personal experiences with it.

Listener Questions

+Mike lives in the AZ desert and wonders how his dry climate changes how he woodworks and what he needs to consider when he builds projects that end up in much more humid climates.

+Lucas inherited a shop that is already plumbed for dust collection and asks about buying his first dust collector.

+Dane has a big hunk of burl that he resawed to make a chair seat. It took him a long time and left him exhausted and asks how he could improve other than buying a different tool.

+Jeremy spends enough time in front of a computer and asks how we feel about woodworking magazines as a way to get more woodworking knowledge.
