Episode 49: Woodworking Media
This week I give a rundown of the most prevalent forms of woodworking media available to the hobbyist today and rank each on the Modern Woodshop Relevance Scale (TM). As a footnote, I killed a really scary looking spider during the recording of this episode (only slightly smaller than Shelob from LOTR); see if you can pick out when that happens.

Episode 45: Orphaned Projects
Every woodworker has at least one abandoned project sitting around the shop. This week I talk about some of my orphaned projects and how I'm playing the role of Daddy Warbucks by bringing new life to them in unexpected ways.
