It’s show #602 - On today’s show, we’re talking about what would happen if woodworking legends had access to today’s technology, a quick drying wood finish, anti-fatigue mats for the shop, and chisel types and you.

What's On the Bench

Marc made some fancy Walnut garage steps.
Matt is working on the breakfast table.
Shannon is prepping parts for a middle school class project on Bluebird boxes.

We Did Podcasts

All 3 of us cheated on WoodTalk and appeared on another podcast. Well Shannon didn't, he just hosts another one is a constant dirty cheater

Matt was on the Woodturners Journey
Marc was on the Modern Woodworkers Podcast
Shannon hosts The Lumber Update Podcast always...the cheater

Kickback and Stuff

Greg asks If Maloof, Nakashima, Krenov, Frid, and Carpenter had access to modern tools, like CAD, the Festool Domino, and digital conveniences, do you think their work would have been even better, or just different? And in this digital era, would they be revered legends still, or just another set of woodworkers on YouTube?

Listener Questions

Yukiki is leading a class on picture frames and asks about a fast drying finish that will allow her students to complete finishing by the end of the class.
Tony's feet hurt and he asks what we put on the floor of our shops in the way of mats.
David bought some bench chisels at Woodcraft and asks about the other types of chisels and why he would want and use them.
