STL221 – best show yet?

rob_ss | Posted in General Discussion on August 3, 2020 03:58am

I just listened to STL 221 – it should have been titled ‘woodworking for the rest of us’ – if you have not yet listened, it is strongly recommended.
I don’t want to disincentivise Mike and Anisa, to both of whom I also enjoy listening, but this week was one out of the box.
So do any of you also think it was the finest episode of STL of all time for this week?

Both Ben Strano's questions and Gary Ragowski's answers were well phrased and very entertaining. I usually have a hard time keeping interest in any live shop talk that lasts over an hour. To listen to them I have to break them up into at least two listening periods. This one kept my interest the whole time with no problem.

I won't go as far as to say best, but I really enjoyed it. It brought my attention to Gary's podcast - Splinters - which I'm also finding very enjoyable.

Gary doesn't know it but, he has influenced me for over 15 years. He made traditional joinery make sense, seem doable for the common man and presents information in a way that just works for me.

Darrell Peart made me realize I could take the things in my head and create them in the shop. Mike Pekovich is equally guilty of delivering information in a simple, straight-forward, as a matter of fact presentation of methods along with enough discussion or justification to cement the information.

BG and AG(Before Gary and After Gary).BG you Ben provided the energy and some liveliness to the podcast your guests not so much. AG-a lively exchange with humor and interest. Keep up the good work.The first time I didn't have to play at 1.5 times the speed.
