HTT004 – Learning from the Past
05/23/17 • 51 min
On today’s show, I discuss getting back to video podcasting, how flat boards really need to be, resaw frame saws, proportioning project parts, and pre-year 2000 resources for learning traditional woodworking.
From the Shop- The reproduction candle box for a new class that I’m teaching this summer is finished.
Thanks to Jeff Skiles for signing up to support the show over at Patreon.
Feedback- No feedback this week (come on folks, I want to hear from you!).
- Joseph wants to know if I will ever get back to making videos again.
- Roger is wondering how flat is flat enough when hand planing boards.
- Jason wants to know how I’m liking my resaw frame saw and if I’d change anything about it.
