   First David Letterman retires. Then Jon Stewart retires. Now we have lost not only Ed but also Asa!! How much do you guys think we can take?

   Asa, Thanks for all you did pushing the show along. Especially in the early days. Hopefully, you won't be going all J.D. Salinger and you'll continue to put some stuff out there that isn't just furniture.

   I was only able to listen to the first few seconds of the podcast, but I hope that the show goes on. I can't imagine that it's not going to suffer a little short term, but it's worth the effort to keep it going.

   Hi Guys,

   I just listened to your podcast #95 last night. Asa, thank you very much for everything you put into this magazine. I am taking your advice on the Building Furniture SI, but I notice that it appears that there are two of them on the Taunton store. Did you have a favorite?

   In thinking back over the recent discussions of Ed and Asa's contributiions in their careers at Fine Woodworking, and some of the highlights remembered in the 40 year anniversary, I realized that I don't think I have ever heard anyone reference the incredible resource of the Design, Click Build blog. Taken as a whole, from its beginnings, along with comments, response to reader questions, and the video series, I would argue that it is the greatest Sketch Up resource that I know of, and certainly the greatest available for woodworkers. I know that CAD might seem anathema to the core principles of Fine Woodworking, but it certainly has its place in drafting and design. As Asa discussed in podcast 95, it doesn't matter if it is old media or new technology, these are just tools to get us to the same end. I am not sure I have seen Design, Click, Build referred to in the print magazine or mentioned on the podcast ever, and it seems like a minor injustice to the unbelievable quality of the work that goes into that blog. Perhaps Dave Richards and Tim Killen could be guests on a future Shop Talk episode.

   In any case, Thank you again, Asa.

   Andy

   Asa, Thanks so much for helping make this podcast the success it has been. You are a master at helping describe complex concepts and designs so that we who are typically limited to only listening to the audio versions can understand the message being conveyed. I missed the chance to farewell Ed, but am glad I had a chance to say thanks to you.

   Matt and the Podgod had better stay put!

   I always appreciated your contributions to the magazine and the podcast! You struck a fine balance on the podcast with your humor and desire to answer questions and instruct.

   Best wishes on what seems a positive move for you. I hope that you continue to add to this community, you will truly be missed at FWW.

   Thank you.

   Asa, you were terrific on the podcast, and I must assume just as great at the 99% of the work that we didn't didn't get to listen to. Hope the next phase of your work life treats you well. You're going to love living on the West/Best coast.
