   Marc,

   I love the animals just as much as the next guy, but you missed a great opportunity to wear your new organic slim fit Lumberjocks.com t-shirt! You could have scored some serious Martin points, man…

   (By the way… you didn’t actually BUY one of those wire-stripping things, did you? My dad picked one up last year when we went to the St. Louis show and I thought him terribly silly for doing so. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a great invention! But seriously, how many times a year does a non-electrician need to strip wire?)

   Your timing is funny, I just went to the WoodWorks Show (www.woodworksevents.com) in Springfield MA last week. I had a great time. It was my first woodworking event since getting into the hobby 3 years ago.

   One of my favorites of the show I went to was a turners group out of CT. They were a great bunch of guys to talk to, very approachable and supportive. I certainly would recommend to anyone here that’s going to a show to not miss out on the opportunity.

   Thanks for putting this episode together. I look forward the the podcast that reveals everything that was gained by “flexing your plastic”!!

   Dont know if anyone noticed the image on my shirt. But if you look closely, you will see a very frustrated bunny sitting at a desk taking a written exam. Get it? “Stop Animal Testing? lol.
   Its a hilarious shirt but I find that most people just see the big yellow letter and assume I am some kind of animal activist.

   Oh and by the way, this video was shot sometime around early November of 2006. I dont think I even knew of Lumberjocks yet. But an organic slim fit shirt sounds like alot of fun.

   And no I didnt buy the wire stripper. I have built-in wire strippers. AKA, my teeth.

   Hi Marc, I’m catching up on past episodes. But I wanted to let you know that the blip.tv link doesn’t seem to work with Firefox. I have to click the hi-res QT link.

   Thats really weird. I just tried all the links myself and they worked just fine. I also use Firefox. And since I use a Mac primarily, I even checked it out on my PC and the videos all played fine. I wonder if it was just a fluke. let me know if you continue to have a problem.

   Keep up the good work! Your advice on bringing the wife is spot on and brought a smile to me.

   I just found your great site. I am a very new woodworker. I also live in AZ (Gilbert), and would like to attend the show this year (2007). Where is it, and when? I appreciate your work.

Got something to say?
