   I’m getting through half the episode (15), when all of a sudden at the forrest blade part it stops and goes back to the beginning…wdyt?

   Which version are you watching? Large, small, or flash?

3. Tim on May 13th, 2007 9:23 am

   Flash version does it

4. Rick on May 13th, 2007 10:20 am

   I had the same issue on the flash version. On linux, the quicktime files don’t play.

   Blip does the flash conversion so unfortunately I dont have control over that process. I will re-encode the file at a smaller bit rate, which should reduce the file size and repost the new file. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Sorry for the trouble guys.

   Good work once again Marc! I was cooking while I listened and watched so I may have missed it but I would be interested in seeing the Festool table setup in action along with your comments on it vs using a table saw for certain kinds of cutting.

   Hi Mark

   Just finished watching the shop tour recording Parts 1 & 2.

   I was a refreshing and frank show, which finished too soon. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to your next instalment, whatever that may be.

   Thanks to you and “The Team”

   About Kickback.

   I wanted to echo your comments about sensing a kickback just before it happened and the importance of that kick off power switch you added to your saw. I’m a few days from my one year anniversary of my amputation. Just before the accident I heard the sound change and could feel the pull om the workpiece. Unfortunately I froze because I had no idea what to do about it because I could not reach the recessed power switch and a new I would get hit if I let go with either hand. Unfortunately the wood/saw made the decision for me. There are several things I would do differently but I wish I had a splitter like yours - I now have an MJ splitter. The other is I modified my saw switch like you did so I could now turn the saw off with my knee. Your video was good timing because a magazine had just shown the same set up but seeing you with it was the kick in the A– I needed to build it. I love that kick bar and I recommend it to all your viewers. I forget which video, Marc which was it. Also, I’m headed to Grizzly this weekend to get a jointer - insert angels singing.

   Hey Marc, that Tshirt your wearing… are you a gamer?(just one more level)

10. Dorje (door-jay) on May 14th, 2007 11:07 pm

    I was able to get all the way through it this time, so appreciate if you had to do anything to it! Good stuff - Thanks!

11. thewoodwhisperer on May 14th, 2007 11:56 pm

    Yes indeed I am a gamer!

    And yes I reloaded the video file and that seemed to take care of the video isue.

12. Harry72 on May 17th, 2007 3:44 pm

    So which is the favorite game(s) Marc?

13. LUIS ROMERO on May 17th, 2007 5:47 pm

    I have to say ” I get my hat off at you”. What you have done on this episode is not easy. To answer all those bombing questions to everyone who ask its mayor league. I enjoyed a lot this Q&A setion. One thing is clear, when you have so may questions from all the woodworking community, you must be doing something good. And most important, you are gaining their respect including mine. I don’t have a big shop ( mine is 10 x 10 )but something is true on this, once I enter that small shop door I’m the king..
    Good bless you and my respects to miss Nichole..
    Luis

    Just finished watching this 2nd episode and wanted to say thanks for the great production! Please post advance notice so that we can all watch the next one live.

    Thanks again.

    Marc, Are you using an electric die grinder(sic) for your carving. I’ve been planning a 60 gallon two stage a/c, becuz the air driven models use a lot of air. Your thoughts?

16. thewoodwhisperer on May 20th, 2007 4:52 pm

    I use a Makita Die Grinder. This one, in fact:

    Works great. I have never regretted going electric.

17. Paul Comi on May 20th, 2007 6:30 pm

    Marc, in your shop tour you mentioned how you use rubber mats around your shop to help stop the sore feet you previously had. I know what you mean, but I found that having mats around my shop was a nuisance and potentially something I could trip over because of all the transitions between matted areas and cement floor.

    I recently bought some Wolverine work shoes that are great for our needs around the shop. They have non skid bottoms with shock absorbing bottoms as well as inserts. Just another option for you.

18. thewoodwhisperer on May 22nd, 2007 7:46 am

    Wolverine huh? Where can I find such fabulous footwear?

Got something to say?
