Wood Talk Online – #35
Topics:
Marc’s visit with Popular Woodworking and the Wood Werks Supply Inc., and Woodworker’s Safety Week. Voicemails about bandsaw blade sparks, flattening waterstones, and vacuum veneer press systems.
We also discussed a really cool woodworking event coming up: Woodworking in America- Hand Tool & Technique Conference: Nov. 14th-16th in Berea, KY. Appearances by Roy Underhill, Frank Klausz, Michael Dunbar, Adam Cherubini, James Blauvelt, Robin Lee, Thomas Lie-Nielsen, Larry Williams and Don McConnell, John Economaki, Konrad Sauer, Wayne Anderson, Ron Hock, and Mike Wenzloff.
If you are interested in attending, please visit the web site that is dedicated to this conference at WoodworkinginAmerica.com and sign up for the conference’s newsletter. You’ll then be the first to be notified of when registration will open (it will be before July 1) and the pricing for this event.
Then we took on tons of LIVE CHAT QUESTIONS. Because the show turned out to be so long, I didn’t include our normal after-show comments. So expect a bunch of those next week including advice for setting up shop for $2500 (a question from last week).

LIVE Wood Talk Online
I’m not sure why. I’m not even sure we should. But what the heck, it sounds cool! So on our normal Wood Whisperer chat night (Wed. 8pm Eastern), Matt and I will convene for a live Wood Talk Online episode. Just go to our TWW Live Page, and you should see our smiling faces. We are trying out some new things and this will really stress our internet connections, so let’s hope everything works. At the very least, it should be very funny to watch us flounder with all the technology, the chat room, and trying to do a show at the same time. And for those of you who can’t make it, we will of course record the audio portion and release it like we always do.
