In this episode, I show you the process of making your own vacuum bag. There are two materials to choose from, polyurethane and vinyl. My old bag is made from vinyl but this time I am going to try my hand at polyurethane, which is supposed to be more durable. My source for all for all of the mat...
his episode useful to anyone, regardless of what jig you use. I happened to use what I consider to be the best jig on the market: the Leigh D4R. No matter what jig you use or even if you cut them by hand, thereR17;s no denying the “cool factor” surrounding dovetails. If you haven&...
Marc mentioned that today is his birthday and tomorrow is MattR17;s. 1st email was about HVLP overspray and spray booths. Marc discussed the mess he makes in shop whenever he sprays and gave suggestions for proper ventilation techniques and cautioned against using standard fans with flammable fi...
In this episode, I put the finish on the pencil holder. But its not just any finish. Since we are working with a beautiful curly maple, I think the finish deserves a little extra specia attention. Curly maple looks fantastic with a few coats of an oil based varnish. But it will BLOW YOUR MIND if...

Just when you thought it was a summer safe from Wood Talk Online Radio….weR17;re baaaack. Since Marc ditched us on the last episode, we decided to exact our revenge on Marc with a little unsolicited advice for the soon to arrive baby Spags. Marc and Nicole, we hope you pay attention beca...
was soon replaced with anxiety and stress as I remembered that I would actually have to write a review on these tools. HereR17;s the problem: no matter what I say, no matter how awesome this tool is, nothing will change the fact that its “just a screwdriver”. And at $70 each, they...
s got a little chuckle out of me. I donR17;t know if it was funny from a true comedy perspective or just because I am so familier with the subject matter. There were a few scenes that made me stop and think, “Wow, that was REALLY dangerous for that actor”. Its a low budget film and...
