Ear Holes and Pantyhose – Friday Live

It’s time for Friday Live! Not familiar with Friday Live? It’s a weekly show that features myself, my wife Nicole, and 30 minutes (or more) of woodworking-focused topics and Q&A. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to share thoughts and ideas with our fellow woodworkers.
