STL 76: The Drunken Woodworker
First, a simple public service annoncement: Your time in the workshop using machinery isn’t the time to consume a tasty alcoholic beverage. That said, if you’re sitting at your bench in front of a video camera, much like this week’s guest-simply talking about woodworking-a nice tall mug of frosty beer is certainly within the realm of possibility. With that out of the way….
This week on Shop Talk Live, the crew is joined by online woodworker David Picciuto, otherwise known as The Drunken Woodworker. Picciuto recently shelved his day job to dedicate his time to chornicling his foray into woodworking. Plus, your questions on block planes, glue sizing, grain direction, and a whole lot more.
Every two weeks, a team of Fine Woodworking staffers answer questions from readers on Shop Talk Live, Fine Woodworking’s biweekly podcast. Send your woodworking questions to [email protected] for consideration in the regular broadcast!

Flock Talk Live!
LOL - just snorted coffee out my nose. We had a lot of fun with that one. Boy Matt, you are so against "flocking." I wonder if there was some sort of flock-related incident in his childhood?
This may sound strange but Matt is correct about the used tool market in Florida (not Tampa). eBay is about the only option.
Am I the only one getting a file not found error?
I get the same error message, though the onscreen "libsyn" player works o.k.
Link fixed. Looks like there was an issue with the file name. Sorry about that, folks.
Best,
Ed
Focusing on the important part of this episode... Your Hobbit wish is granted. https://tolkieneditor.wordpress.com/
Another great show- especially funny. Could you field a question about the different tool steels. I am looking for new chisels but get confused as the attributes of O-1, A-2, CrV, PMV-!!, etc. Which one is best? Why are there so many types, what are the Japanese chisel and plane blades made from? I know it relates to ease of sharpening and durability of edges but why all the confusing choices?
