What’s on the Bench
- Marc started a repair job for his mother-in-law on a 23-year-old project.
- Matt is working on a workbench base.
- Shannon is doing chest of drawers remediation.
Kickback
- Gary writes in with criticism of the discussion around Shannon’s use of “off the reservation.”
- Michael Johnson writes in to thank the guys for that same discussion and shares why those words carry weight for many Indigenous and First Nations people.
- Anthony from Grey Design Workshop shares his experience using Accoya and Tricoya for exterior cupboard doors in southern England and asks whether the material is easy to get in the US.
Questions
- Jean-Luc Desselle asks whether YouTube subscriber count still matters and whether milestones like 1 million or 500K still mean anything to the guys.
- Tom asks how to cut large, long miters for mitered casework that exceeds 24 inches in width or depth.
- Drew asks about pressing veneer without a vacuum bag, including larger cauls, screw presses, and whether multiple panels can be pressed at the same time.
