WWGOA LIVE is brought to you by:
I am building a bench top router table that folds away for storage. What type of router would you recommend for the build; a plunge router or fixed based router?
I recommend using a fixed base router for a router table. A plunge base router is difficult to control for micro-adjustments.

George, I know this is not anything to do with but, what do you think is the best screen color silver or charcoal?
Hello Bill!
We’re not quite sure what your question is asking. Would you be able to clarify?
Thank you!

Got to see you twice the same day.
What’s the best option for routing large areas? Small bit for edging then go for it with large bit or just use large bit?
I’d suggest using a small bit for edging, and a large bit for bulk removal.

Working with American Chestnut circa 1890, it seems to want to warp if I plane it thinner than 3/4 inch or so. Does Chestnut hold a lot of tension?
audio is fine, must be his internet connection.
Can you explain the difference between a low angle hand-plane and one that is not?
Just finished a desk / hutch from red oak. Used an oil based stain then wipe on poly. Had an issue with white spots appearing after first coat of poly. What would be the reason for this? Was able to correct it by sanding them out but why would those spots form?
Can the new woodturning carbide chip chisels replace the traditional chisels? Or are the traditional chisels still needed?
Great show, George — thanks for all you do — keep up the great live shows!

How would you make a desk to use to put on top of handlebars when indoor cycling?
