NO BLOOPERS?!? Again, great job Marc and Nicole. I assume the answer to the mitersaw question to Festool was edited in the vein of “if I told ya, I’d have to kill ya”. lol Thanks again for all the hard work you two put into this cutting edge venture we like to call The Woodwhisperer.

The new intro was actually made in IMovieHD. We are now moving over to Final Cut Express though so there should be more cool changes on the way.

Thanks, next best thing to being there. I really like the powermatic idea of incorporating a workbench into the extension on the tablesaw. I know it is bad bad JUJU to use your saw as a workbench and I cringe everytime I do it but unfourtainatly I do not have the room for a dedicated bench….. I think I will add one to my saw. I also look forward to your review of the Tenryu blade. i have a friend who is a cabinet maker and that is all he uses, he talks price point alot….
Thanks again to you and Nicole…

Marc,

For some strange reason I cannot open the flv flash file. I thought it was my vista machine, (which is know to have flash problems, but my windows xp machine is doing the same thing. Have you had others report a problem??

Thanks,

Frank

Haven’t had any reports of that Frank. Video starts right up for me. Make sure you have the latest version of flash installed on both machines and that might take care of it. Email me if you continue to have trouble.

Marc,

This is the first episode that I cannot view. It starts out okay, but then sputters, stops, starts, and then just stops altogether. Did you change to a new format? Your interview with Dave Marks was great BTW.

Please note that I also tried to download the low-rez file, but it wouldn’t run on my RealPlayer either. Again, this is the first episode that I’ve encountered a problem with.

Fantastic work and I love your presentation style,

CWS

Hey there CWS. Nothing different about the video. Sounds like the download is just stalling for some reason. Make sure after you hit play, then hit pause and let it buffer for a while. As for the small file, you should probably use Quicktime for those.

Im glad you enjoyed the interview and I appreciate the kind words.

Good luck.

Wow – fantastic coverage! I learned a lot. I was at Sears and I saw a tablesaw with what appeared to be a granite top – I suspected it was some imitation but I thought that was an interesting idea. I also heard of Sawstop – it is neat seeing this 5 years after and see what has happened.
