   You can always but flat bottom taco shells, the shells stand upright on their own.

   Life changer!

   I like how you all have very different coffee mugs. Tom's got the enameled steel camping mug. Mike's got the ceramic one, and Ben has the insulated tumbler.

   Love this new unlimited subscription level. This looks very intriguing, good luck as it rolls out.

   Thanks for speaking to the unlimited package. I've just joined and am excited to start receiving the magazine in print in addition to my online subscription. The package is ALMOST unlimited and would be truly unlimited if it included access to the archive using the FW App which is much smoother than the clunky online archive through the website. Although the online archive is difficult to use, the content is incredible...just wish it was a little bit more user friendly like the App.

   Will the terrible mobile app be replaced?

    Great show and great humor. Thanks for making time at work and my commute fun. I miss Dr. Kenny and Ed but Mike and Ben and Tom are carrying on.

    Another great show. The Unlimited Package is a major push in the right direction. I agree with Tom regarding how one can start out looking up one topic and then find yourself off on another subject. It just glues you in because of the wealth of information and really informative topics on the FW website. I have been reading Mike’s new book and his love for the craft oozes off the pages, great read. Ben, I did not mean to insult you by calling you a novice it was not used as a gauge of your Woodworking ability but your tenure with FW and the craft as compared with Tom, Mike and the rest of the old timers.

   I would have never taken that as an insult! I am closer to a novice than Mike P is, that's for sure. But, I do play it up a bit from time to time!

    Love this show and how you actually share tips, how-to, your experience rather than talk about movies, current events, other common everyday stuff. This is the best woodworking podcast out there. Keep it up.

    That Unlimited package sounds just about right for an elder statesman like myself. Got turned into a Great Grandpa. We get too soon old and too late smart as they say.
    Great show guys. Keep up the good work.

    I usually don't comment all the time because no one wants my opinion anyway, but I'd sure like to win a year of Unlimited. Please grab my entry when you do the drawing, so I win...OK? Please?

    Enjoyed the show. Great discussion on panel clamps and cauls - really like hearing discussion of different options/approaches each of you have tried and what you found works best on panel glue ups. I will be keeping Ben's comment about sawing through a joint in mind!

    Hoeppr | Oct 27, 2018 09:44pm | #18

    Always listen to the podcast. The Unlimited package would be a great addition.

    Maybe start a page with wood working tats. Everyone is getting excited by the teaser view of Mike's tat.

    Great show as always. The unlimited plan sounds excellent. Going on my Christmas list (unless I win - hehe)

    I would love to win a year subscription! I've just moved into being a full time woodworker after being made redundant at a deadend job. Finished my first piece of furniture, a white oak and mahogany side table, out of my newly set up woodshop in Taranaki, New Zealand.

    STL has been instrumental in building my woodworking knowledge base. I've listened to every single episode over the last 12 months, and went from screw and glue but joints and a belt sander, to now making everything 100% joinery based with no nails or screws and surface prepping with a kanna instead of a belt sander.

    Although I miss Matt and Ed, I still love the podcast, keep on keeping on!

    Fine Woodworking has taught me everything I know about my favorite hobby. I don't even bother with other content, printed or online. I would love to win an unlimited subscription.

    That said, I think Fine Woodworking is missing something with their new membership model: the digital age is upon us!

    I NEVER read printed publications anymore. I read your available digital issues exclusively, and have done so for at least five years. I love my current membership because I get access to all your fantastic content digitally.

    I get how tough the publishing and printing world is today, but I STRONGLY recommend your membership model keep a level of subscription for we woodworkers who prefer digital only. FWW can sell the copy they print for me to a new hobbyist, and cut me a lower priced deal for digital-only content. Thanks!

    Thank you for another enjoyable podcast. I have been looking at the ultimate offering, There needs to be comparison of what it offers versus what I currently get. I would also recommend that your offer a digital only version of it. I loved thumbing through and reading the physical magazine in the 80s and 90s. In today's world I no longer have the time sit with a magazine. I find the digital edition much better suited to my current lifestyle. It allows me to read portions when I am away from home. Unfortunately a physical magazine would get sent to the recycle bin with very little use.

    Gents, a great and informative podcast yet again . I knew we had a lot in common with the whole wood thang, then I heard that you like the same music as mwaw. Pixies!? No way! That just goes to show that we're brothers of another mother.

    Would love a free year of Unlimited.

    Unlimited seems great! Can you post that chart Tom mentioned in the podcast. I already subscribe to digital+paper and wonder what additions I would get by changing my subscription.

    J_McKinley | Oct 29, 2018 10:03am | #31

    Thank you guys for continuing this podcast, I feel like I should be taking notes because there are always hidden gems of information in all of your answers.
    I think unlimited is a great idea. I couldn’t give up the hands on magazine because I like to book mark and add sticky notes on pages, that said I ended up missing out on the online information. Great job!

    Unlimited package is great but being overseas I am happy with the on line mags I don't need the paper mailed out is it available? I also am wondering how to get notifications of the time your going to be broadcasting your lives?

   BetsyE | Oct 30, 2018 11:54am | #38

   UNLIMITED is available for international folks at $112 US, that includes the print magazine, or $99 US without.

    While I would never claim to know more about woodworking than Mike Peckovich, he is actually quite wrong about the Damstom Panel Clamps. First, they do, put just enough downward pressure on the boards to bring them flush with each other on panel glue-ups because they are locked to the thickness of the wood on both ends. Using 3 or 4 Damstom clamps on panel gives a flat (no cupping across the width), flush result across it's width (up to 38"). Many times I use Dominoes for easy flat glue-ups, but the Damstom clamps work just as well when I don't want to take the time to use Dominos. Mike still knows more than I do, but these clamps are the best.

    "Stressful Glueups" - I guess they will always be stressful, no matter how many dry runs you do, but I am trying to figure out why newer glue products are designed to set up faster and faster. Could you experts sometime discuss the various glue choices from hide glues through the mistake waiting to happen "super glue"?

    And, I am glad you discussed the Unlimited Package, because it was far from clear after a quick perusal of the offer, why anyone would want that instead of a normal e-membership. And, by they way, it seemed like from the discussion that an unlimited membership gets a year of hard copy in addition to all the e-features - is that true?

    I definitely think the unlimited package is a good value. I would love to have a year free to see just how much there is before diving in for the long haul!

    I just called to check the Unlimited package upgrade. The way it works is a bit complicated for people who are already online members with a print subscription. The unused (prorated) section of the $14.95 for the web membership is deducted from the $99 for the unlimited membership. For me, that unused portion of my web membership is about $10. I have to call in to cancel my remaining 15 issues of my print subscription and that would put about $50 back on my card. So, converting what I ave now to a 1 year unlimited subscription would cost about $40 the first year and $99 each subsequent year. However, I already have a full print run of the paper mag plus the digital archive on dvd, so it is hard to tell what the additional features I would have access to would be. The woman from Taunton seemed to think the only additional feature would be access to the online digital archive, but I am not sure if that is correct or not. In any case, I was in a similar position to the hypothetical that Mike brought up and thought I'd share what I found out.

    Thanks!

    This episode was very informative, good interaction between Ben, Tom and Mike. Glad to hear about the Unlimited edition, should be a good long term value.

    Nhadamsfamily | Nov 04, 2018 05:20pm | #48

    Great to see a comprehensive package to make it easier to fully enjoy all that FWW has to offer. Tom’s teaser of more benefits yet to come makes it even more attractive.

    Another great podcast. I look forward to them, and wish they were more frequent. Mike is the glue that always keeps this together - without stress!

    hi - love the show! Called in to upgrade to unlimited but had a problem because I have almost 2+ years left on prepaid magazine subscription as well as a recently renewed online member ship and I was only being offered the 14.00 roughly off for the online membership - absolutely nothing for the fact that I've already prepaid the magazine for more than 2 more years. I tried to express this to the customer service department but no luck. I also tried online chat and although the person was nice, they were only offering the unlimited at it's regular price so I'd be paying the 99 plus the 15 for online and plus whatever I've already paid for 3 years of print subscription … so I didn't do it - but I did want to!!
    So please consider picking me for the free one as it's too much money to throw away for me to upgrade now - looks like I have to wait until about 2020 for my print subscription to run out - all the best though!! Always love the show!!!

    First time listener and I like it. One question - why does everyone always assume hard shells when they talk about tacos? What's wrong with soft shells? Have been thinking about a design for soft shell holder and will share when I finally decide and build ( carve, shape, route, etc).
