A big thank you to all of you who participated in our first ever LIVE show. We made history together! For those of you who missed it, I will post the edited videos as regular podcasts (starting with Part 1 above). I couldn’t believe how much time went by. When it was all said and done, we put in about 2.5 hours!! Questions were coming in left and right from the chat room so the videos will seem long for folks who weren’t there in person. To quickly explain what was going on, I planned on a quick shop tour and a little Q&A. Nicole was operating the camera and Mom was moderating the chat room and yelling out questions as they came in. It was pretty funny. Everything went well, minus a few technical issues. Unfortunately, the live audio was via my laptop microphone. I have it all figured out at this point so the audio will be much better next time. As you will see though, the recording came out as expected.

I don’t know about you. I’m sure glad Marc posted the video. I didn’t realize I missed so much due to the fury of chatting that was going on. Wasn’t it intense!
It was the best 2-hour of Internet land I’ve ever had. Great Job! Great Fun! You are the “King”
Sorry I missed the live event. It’s nice to have the replay available. The additional links are great as well. It looks like I don’t have an excuse for getting the car into the garage any more :-(.
Thanks for posting this compilation. I had a prior engagement so I unfortunately couldn’t participate in the live event. Next time.
Cant believe i missed the live show, cant wait till the next one. When is the next “real” podcast coming out Marc? This one was awesome but i cant wait until one with an actual project comes out.
Well, its still hard for me to predict when the “real” podcasts will air. I am still trying to balance getting a few major commissions done while coming up with ideas for the podcast.
I plan on doing a few podcasts based on techniques I will be using for these upcoming projects. Two of the topics I hope to cover are dovetails and home-sawn veneers. But I cant film them until I am at that point in the project. Also, we have the assembly table project coming out soon. Just waiting for the green light from FineWoodworking.com.
So hold tight. We are working toward more and more steady content. But there are a number of loose ends to tie up before we get there.
Great live show but my wife (the knitter) was upset the show ran into the dinner she prepared and I wouldn’t leave the computer. Just finished watching the rerun from the website and the sound was much better, less of the reverb/echo and the issue with the lapel mike. All in all a great broadcast lots of info, but you forgot to roll the credits at the end of the show.
Wow, that was a neat tour Marc! Very informative. I like the way you managed to answer some tough landmine questions such as the dust collection pvc or the sawstop questions and not cave in with the safe answers. Keep up the good work my friend
Regarding the echo:
I had noticed the echo when I opened the Ustream “open in large separate view” window. This is so you could view the video portion over your entire computer screen. When I had moved back to normal view, the echo stopped?
Now that was fun to watch! I am continually impressed by the quality of the shows and your WW knowledge Marc. You’re my hero, keep up the great work.
Cheers
Just going to mention if you haven’t already seen it but Mythbusters did a bit on PVC pipe to test sandblasting and static build up. It never really built up anything substantial. now that its been tested to that extreme means more people will argue it but its not something to worry about.

how do you use that crane to move stuff?
You just tie a chain or rope around the object, connect it to the hook, and use the pump to lift the arm. Its just like a car jack. It can’t lift the stuff very high. But its just high enough to get it off the ground so you can move it around. Very handy!
what’s that thing on your the thing on your shop vac?
the big metal pole on the back at 24:50 when you are talking about the sawstop.
Its actually not a metal pole. Its just the shop Vac attachment.
Just found your website recently and am catching up on years of podcasts. I really like some of your shop organization techniques. I’m also a very organized person and have been struggling with keeping the shop up to my standards.
I had a question regarding the cleats in the drawers with your air nailers. It appears you just have some 3/4″ ply at the back of each with a notch in order to hold them in place, but what is the setup where the front of the nailers are, how are you keeping them from falling over?
Thanks.
Its very simple David. I just place a small rectangle of ply scrap at an angle. So each gun goes in and then tilts to the left. They stay in place pretty nicely unless I happen to slam the drawer for some reason. :)
