   I don't want to sound like a stick in the mud but I could do without all the chit chat and joking around. We only have so much time so get to the point.

   Even with the chit-chat, this was one of the best yet.

   Us Mere Mortals can see in the planer/banana episodes of Mike and Matt, that even the Gods can screwup..:>)

   I seem to remember being taught to ignore the planer depth gauge, and simply lightly screw down on to the board face itself - partially inserted (planer off obviously) - then back off, and slowly come down again while the machine is running. Yes, a bit of time is 'wasted' with no-cut passes, but I have never tried to take off 1/4 inch by mistake...

   This was a great podcast! I love these. You could leave off some of the chit chat. Keep the podcasts going!

   I like the back and forth banter/chit chat. I certainly don't listen to these for efficiency but enjoy the open discussion format greatly.

   Another well done podcast. Solid content is the key. Hands down the best woodworking podcast out there. Much better than the other 3 guys doing a similar podcast, they often spend way to much time on one topic or go so far off topic that I have turned it off. Thanks for keeping the quality top notch...keep the "SHIP" sailing !!

   Once I found the podcasts, I have become a real fan. They are funny, but also very useful. Count me as a fan. I do have some suggestions and comments.
   1) Since I am out walking when I listen, I cannot take notes. I would appreciate a list of references or annotations. The guys often mention a woodworker, a tool, or other product. A list of what was mentioned, and a web link for each episode would be very helpful to me, and I suspect, to others.
   2) In podcast #16, there is a discussion of stripper vs. refinisher. Strippers usually contain a harsh chemical, such as methylene chloride, or safer chemicals, such as those found in Citristrip. They cause the finish to soften and bubble so that it can be scraped off. A refinisher softens the finish and lets you work it with steel wool. Most of the finish stays on the piece but is evened out. Formby's Furniture Refinisher is what I used to see all the time. However, it is not as common in SoCal as it used to be. The solvents present environmental problems.
   3) In an earlier episode one of the guys suggested that it was not real important to anchor a workbench top to the frame. In earthquake country, that might be a bad idea, even if it OK in the eastern US.

   Hey, guys, I do enjoy the podcast, but providing feedback/support via iTunes doesn't make sense since I never use iTunes. So... thanks!

   Oh, chit chat, back 'n forth, jokes.... Good with me.

    Just a user experience suggestion... Where to click for the podcast could be a bit more obvious.

    I first thought maybe the big green headline at top... not it.

    Surely the big microphone image... not it.

    Then it must be the blue headline under all the iTunes stuff... not it.

    Oh... it's that red link buried between the description and iTunes stuff.

    Don't make me word so hard! We're only on this page for one reason. ;-)

    Just push play!
