Great show, thank you
Would you guys consider a brief discussion of how to use your shop apron? I got a new one following a suggestion by Mike, and I really like it, but I am weak on what to stock the pockets with. I'm sure there is a better combination of tools to carry than what I came up with.
Love my Record Power Harold too
Shocked! I thought everyone used utility knife blades as small scrapers! I've been using them for years, buy them by the hundred pack. Always a couple sitting on my table saw fence for quick access. Great for small glue spots, scratches, small repairs, even after shellac or oil finish first coat when a blemish shows up.
It sure would be nice if that steel gridding tool for the Shaper Origin was available to other SO users; though I can't imagine what its cost would be. Beautiful machining and lucky for Amanda!
Best. line. Ever. …
“You don’t want to be embarrassed at your own estate sale.” Laughs and chuckles for well over one minute. I’m absolutely going to steal that line. I’m an old man, but that’s a new one for me. Thanks for a good show and a super chuckle.
Hey guys, you forgot to include the download link for this episode. I like to listen to the podcasts on my MP3 player as I'm cleaning the shop or out for a walk.
Hi Terry!
Added the Mp3 for you.
Thank you!
