Answer at 1:22
Hi George- I was going to build a flag case out of Ancient New Zealand Kauri wood. Have you ever worked with this wood before and if so do you have any suggestions or ‘hints’ or ‘be aware of’ issues I might encounter with this wood?

Hi George-Just bought my first router (Bosch MRC23EVSK) so now I am trying to decide on a router table. Would you recommend going with the $500 Kreg PRS1045 with an MDF core or the Rockler Pro Phenolic table that is currently on sale for $450?
Answer at 19:55
You warned in a video about cutting on the tablesaw against the fence when the distance from the blade to the fence is less than the length of board contacting the fence. You said there were several ways to make repeated cuts to length when this was the case. What are they, please? I’m particularly interested in this for boards too wide for the miter saw.
Answer at 7:18
Is a router table better than a table saw for jointing, if you don’t have a jointer?
Answer at 13:53 Article about using your router table as a jointer
Can you point me to any resources for building entry/passage doors? When building a large door how do you keep them from warping?
Answer at 14:17
I have an older craftsman 10″ table top bandsaw and have been trying to find a replacement miter gauge and rail for it (9,16 X 1/4 or 3/16). All of the ones that I have found are 3/4 X 3/8.

4 days ago my table saw bit me on the thumb. My error, and a minor injury, thanks to your video on blade height, it was only a bit above the wood, and the injury is healing already. Thank you for your safety tips as well as the how to’s.

I’m from Fond du Lac Wi. Have you ever met Marc Sommerfeld? Do you own any of his router bits? What do you think of his router bits?
Answer at 38:34
figured woods such as tiger or birds eye maple tend to tear out when run through a surface planer or jointer, is a drum sander a good alternative, especially for items like table tops.

I’ve seen you iron veneer to a substrate. Do you think that a chessboard using veneer squares can be ironed?

Why not only use titebond 3 and not worry about others.
Answer at 50:10
I watched a video on woodworking safety in general that you did but I can’t find it now. I searched “safety” but it did not come up. Any suggestions on how to find it. I want to show it to a kid’s woodworking class.
Do you use a Japanese Pull Saw to flush cut plugs? if so what should I look for in a quality saw that won’t damage the surface I am flush cutting next to?
Answer at 51:54
I have a saw that is specially made for this. It is a pull saw, flexible, but the teeth are flat on one side so it won’t mark up the work piece.
is a drum sander a good alternative to a planer for highly figured woods subject to tear out of the surface
Answer at 53:50
What are the key features to look for in buying a band saw?
Answet at 54:18
Any suggestion for steam bending a short compound curve? I can manage one bend the second keeps breaking. I’m using a silicone blanket and a mold.
I have an old Craftsman table saw. It has the original metal fence that is about 1.25 inches thick and is very hard to keep perpendicular to the saw. What do you recommend, a wooden homemade fence or something else?
Answer at 54:44
thanks. I had to walk away from the livestream but I will watch now.
I put a Biesmeyer on my old Craftsman saw about 20 years ago and it works great. Huge improvement over the OEM fence
I live in Louisiana where it is hot and humid, and I’m considering making a tool cabinet that would be kept in my carport. What material would you recommend?

George, do you prefer alternate bevel blades or straight and why?
Answer at 57:50
Resawing logs on a shop band saw how can I keep the initial cuts square to the core line
Answer at 1:01
My older Craftsman (113 series) keeps getting stuck on a 45 degree bevel and I can’t figure out what is wrong or find much help on the interwebs. Any suggestions on things to try or check/replace.
What booth will you be working during the IWF?
I’ll be walking the show, not in a booth.
is there a resource to find local wood working clubs. I have searched on the net and asked around but have not had any luck finding a group.
Google, woodworking retailers, ask other woodworkers, ask at lumber suppliers
Low angled hand plane with a 90 degree blade supposedly works great for figured woods.
what angle do you like on the nose of a bowl gouge, and what grind do you like?
Finger nail grind. Not sure how many degrees I’m grinding at. My wolverine jig makes it automatic
Getting ready to glue-up some cedar for a barn door baby style gate. Last couple glue-ups using Titebond 2 started drying up before I got everything in place. I live in CA and it has been very hot. What type of glue would you recommend?
Titebond III tacks slower
Can you comment on attaching a face frame by pocket hole screws tongue and groove or glue
I build all of my face frames with pockets holes and glue. Tongue and groove is great, but overkill for a face frame.
I am a big fan of woodpecker tools and their accuracy and use them all the time. These tools are very accurate, so my question is what do you shoot for in accuracy in your wood working. Example .002 inche ect.
I really don’t have a number like that in my head when I’m building. I transfer measurements way more frequently than actually taking measurements. That gives me the accuracy I need.
Titebond 3 is also much harder to clean up once it hardens
Have you ever considered gathering your whole crew in front of the camera at the end of your broadcast? You sometimes call them by name, and it would be nice to have faces to go with their names.
I’ve asked Ginny. We’ll get her there…. Sam is offsite doing behind the scenes stuff.
Have you ever worked with plastic lumber?
I’ve sent lots of composite deck boards and PVC boards through my CNC to make outdoor signs.
I just finished building my new kitchen cabinets, prefinished maple for boxes, cherry for doors/frawerfronts and face frames, I usually spray dye/stain/sealer and precat lacquer, is there a big advantage to using conversion varnish?
I’ve sprayed many gallons of cat laq. Haven’t use conversion varnish, so I don’t know what benefits it offers.
Thank you
very interesting
Good show
