What’s on the Bench
Marc cut the big bevels on the table legs before heading out on vacation and is prepping the shop so it’s not awful to come back to.
Matt is working on a coffee table commission.
Shannon made a cheese slicer, because Woodcraft told him to.
Kickback
Michael Summer shares his experience with Mike Farrington’s sanding disc, especially the benefits of the taper, the clean edge it produces, and the ability to keep two grits loaded.
Freddie also writes in about the Mike Farrington double-taper sanding disc and says it’s fantastic for casework, glue lines, sheet goods, cabinet parts, and sneaking up on final dimensions.
Questions
Davie Brown asks whether using Blade Cote on a SawStop blade could cause problems with the brake system or electronics.
Rich asks how the guys’ design sensibilities have changed over the years and whether Matt has found a new kind of figure to fancy.
Ed Lilla asks how a left-handed woodworker should think about bench workholding and vise placement.
