Q&A

– @JCRoupp – Once the learning curve is over, are hand cut dovetails just as easy and fast as a jig?
– mattty38 – How do you deal with insects in your shop, especially when finishing?
– Matthew S – Can I handle rough lumber without a planer or jointer?
– Aaron – I’m thinking about buying a turbine sprayer. I’m wondering if I should pay a little more for the extra air pressure option like your higher end model sprayer you have.
– Ozuma4688 – Do you put finish over a painted project. If so, what type of finish?

Tune in to the next show on September 5th at 1pm Eastern!
