Shannon's Making Blue Ice Again | WoodTalk 605

4/23/20261 hr

It’s show #605 - On today’s show, we’re talking about, woodworking as therapy, is my wood dry enough for a workbench?, dealing with oil stains on plywood.

What's On the Bench

Marc did some finish tests and packed up a bunch of boxes of Preppin' Weapons.
Matt installed the breakfast bench.
Shannon did a french polish on a ring box.

Kickback and Stuff

Von has now listened to all the show and he tells us what all the people in his life thought about this feat.
Joel took our advice and bought a planer and thanks to a deal on Amazon got a DW735 with extension beds and extra knives for less than the list price of the planer.
Wayne reponded to our inquiry about sanding at the table saw and he uses the Mike Farrington disc with a 10 degree taper.

Listener Questions

Hamilton asks about getting into the shop when going through tough times.
Mike has a White Oak log sawn into boards with his new Roubo bench and asks about building it green vs letting the wood dry a bit.
Steven is building a painted wall light box that has an oil spill on the plywood. He asks about cleaning it up vs just getting new plywood.
