Podcast Setup & Season Reflection
00:00:21
Speaker
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we got this set up down to a science that was fast today. Yeah. Um, I think, I mean, I better check before we actually do it, but I think we're on to question of the month week or month five. Yeah. So I was just saying that we're, uh,
00:00:46
Speaker
Almost halfway through the season. It's unbelievable. Yeah. What's
Technical Issues & Sponsorship
00:00:51
Speaker
going on here? No internet? It's the stone wall. Well, I guess regardless, we're doing it. Yeah.
00:01:03
Speaker
This one, I can't name this one Sniffles again, but I got another sinus infection and you're probably gonna hear me coughing and wheezing a little. Yeah, it probably sound very nasally. Or what's the opposite of nasally? I don't know. That's a good question. You ever notice that hole in the wall? You can see right into the room. Down at the bottom.
00:01:26
Speaker
No, you know, I just noticed the one at the bottom. But now that I see that there is another one up there too. Um, yeah, like, uh, my nose is stuffed. So how can I come? It couldn't be nasally, right? Where's nasally when your nose is stuffed. It's like, I think that's like anti nasally. Yeah. Like antipasti. Anti pasta.
00:01:52
Speaker
Chris, I'll never forgive you for that. So somebody we were talking to, he actually thought that's, that was the pronunciation anti pasta.
00:02:05
Speaker
We'll hold it against you, Chris. Yeah. So I can't get onto our podcast thing. I don't know if it's our internet or their website, but, um, we'll call this question of the month five episode 19 out of, uh, season three. Yeah. But, uh, before we get into that, we better thank our sponsor. Hey,

00:02:47
Speaker
Yeah. I actually, I just got off the phone with rich. Um, I had to get some slides, needed some 15 inch slides. That was a, that was the thing that I forgot to order over the weekend. Sometimes you, when you realize that you're forgetting something, sometimes you actually find out what it is. Whereas sometimes you just live the rest of your life in mystery. You don't know. Anyway,
00:03:17
Speaker
trying to keep my whistle wet. Yeah. And that's not a euphemism. No. Um, that was my cell phone. There it is. So let's see what we got. Yeah. Reach into the bag.
Q&A: Table Saw Blades Discussion
00:03:42
Speaker
Excuse me. Oh,
00:03:45
Speaker
I coughed in my face, cramped. Hold the muscle. We got one here from nbwoodfinery on Instagram. Question for the pod. Do you guys use a combination blade on the table saw or switch it out when ripping hardwoods and cutting plywood? I've tried the combo blades for us woodworker too, but didn't like the higher tooth count for solid woods. Thanks. I think I'm pretty sure his name is Nick. Well, we got three saws.
00:04:15
Speaker
in now. Yeah. Wow. We had two. So it's not that we got 50% more souls now. So everybody's got a dedicated purpose. Yeah. Um, we've yet to put a cross cup blade on the saw stop. Yeah. Um, so we have, uh, I think we have on the
00:04:37
Speaker
On the Unisaw is like probably a 40 tooth combo blade, right? And then I think on the SawStop we have that 50 tooth combo blade. Yeah. And then on the slider we have a 100 tooth double face laminate blade. Yeah. Um, but it's a, it's a good question because that's what you're faced with. We used to, we used to change blades.
00:05:03
Speaker
Yeah. Uh, but yeah, for the most part, we would keep the, you know, the combo for all woods. Yeah. And then plywood double-faced laminate blade for plywood. Yeah. Yeah. I used to use the woodworker too a lot. Um, I especially liked it when I had, excuse me, catching. Yeah. When I started with, uh,
00:05:32
Speaker
Contractors saw, they had a thin curve, that company. Those are good for underpowered saws.
00:05:42
Speaker
I liked the woodworker too. I found that they were just sort of overpriced. Um, like you could get the same or more blade for less money there. You know, they were kind of like leaning on the branding a little bit, the reputation as, you know, you see him find woodworking as top, you know, whatever, but the Everlast blades, I'll be honest, I don't think they could be beat for, you know, in terms of price and performance. Yeah. Bank for buck. Those things are awesome.
00:06:10
Speaker
We'll see tools today. I think it's thinking about send us on a manner. Well, then, you know, we're going to, you know, we switch allegiances. Yeah. We'll just drop. Everlasting a hot, hot potato. We'll make adjustments. Yeah. We have an Amana non-ferrous metal blade. It's great.
00:06:31
Speaker
Right. It's not like we don't use the product. Oh, no. Almost all the shape or tooling aside from the Freeborn stuff is a manna. Yeah, we have time. Actually, all of it is a manna and Freeborn.
00:06:45
Speaker
So, yeah, I hope that answers your question. I mean, it would be the the 40 tooth is pretty good with ripping. Like we don't get a lot of binding or burning or anything like that. I think if you keep it sharp, it's it's a decent rip blade. You can go down to like a 24 tooth and still get a clean. You get a nice clean cut. I think that people mistake
00:07:10
Speaker
They make the mistake of thinking that a 24 tooth ripping blade is going to give you not a clean rip. It's not really the case. It has everything to do with direction of the grain. So you get a really clean cut with a 24 tooth blade. But again, if you have a 40 tooth and it's sharp and clean, then you should be getting a really good rip with that too.
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah. And if your tools are set up, your machines are set up really nice and you keep nice fluid motion. I mean, that helps too with burning and things. Yeah. I mean, we're also not using like all the wood has been jointed and everything. So it's nice and flat. It's not like where you're pushing curved pieces of wood through the table saw. Oh yeah. God, no. Let's see. What do we got next? Kind of tea drinking there.
00:08:03
Speaker
Um, I'll be honest. I don't remember and I can't tell because I can't taste it. This is from, uh, Michael Lou blue bots. Hope I'm saying that right. L U B A C Z bluebacks. CZ. Yeah. Huh. Let's say that's pronounced with an X. No.
00:08:28
Speaker
I don't know. I mean, that was the CZ motorcycle when I was growing up. Bluebacks, blue batch, blue batch.
00:08:43
Speaker
Well, sorry, Mike, because I'm probably butchering it one way or another. I think he might be a local guy. I recognize the name from Instagram.
Q&A: Tool Organization & Design Choices
00:08:53
Speaker
Hello, gents. How about a shop storage question? I've been primarily a power tool user for many years, but I've started building a hand tool collection over the last two or three. I'm finding the hybrid approach more to my liking and feel. It's certainly improved the quality of my projects with the ability to fine tune the fit and peace.
00:09:10
Speaker
Now being the proud owner of quality chisels, a few hand planes, scrapers and so on, most of the tools are in a toolbox drawer. I want to get these commonly used items out of the drawer and in reach, but I find myself starting to plan and build tool holders or storage solutions only to scrap it and move on to something else because I get lost in how simple or complex to make it.
00:09:31
Speaker
I need to just shut up and do it. I know this. In your opinions, when you need a storage solution, do you just make what's basic and functional and after some use fine tune or remake when it's needed? Or do you spend time laying everything out and aiming for a one and done build? Quick and simple plywood holders on a wall or something a little nicer from project scraps. What do you guys like to do in these situations? Thanks, Mike. That's another good question. Yeah.
00:09:58
Speaker
Uh, I'll, I'll interject that I did look up and CZ is pronounced like C H and cherry blue batch. Yeah. So unless his name's been Anglica sized, like Syria, Matthew, Syria, we think you're saying your name wrong. Yeah. And my name even barone. Yeah. You know, so.
00:10:27
Speaker
Yeah, we destroy all the names. Welcome to America now. Let us fix your name so that we can all say it. All right, you go first. I got to catch my breath. Well, I think, you know, back in the earlier days, when we had more time, we found a lot of joy in making something cool out of hardwood and you have a nice place to put it.
00:10:57
Speaker
like the the tool chest thing like the on the wall all that stuff is really cool it's just it's it's not practical as far as uh the time that it takes yeah
00:11:14
Speaker
I'm kind of with Mike where I overanalyze, like I've wanted to build a nice tool cabinet. And I bought like the System X or whatever it is pegboard that has the 516s threaded holes, which was nice. And I thought I was going to do a bunch of stuff with that.
00:11:33
Speaker
Again, it's like I don't want to underthink it or overthink it and then spend a bunch of time doing something that's either going to be, you know, become overly complicated or it's not going to serve the function that it's supposed to. And then I wasted all this time. So yeah, now it's kind of just like cobble something together and live with it.
00:11:57
Speaker
you know, until you can't and then maybe, maybe you came up with an idea that's good enough to then version two is going to be that much better.
00:12:06
Speaker
Yeah, I think by necessity these things have to go through stages because you know you you build it and you use it and it's like the shot I mean goes through those yeah those progressions and just and then you find out well this doesn't work or boy this would be really good if if I just change this a little bit um
00:12:32
Speaker
I mean, you could never build a tool cabinet and it'd be the that's it. Yeah. If you did, you might as well stop woodworking because it means that, you know, you're not progressing as a woodworker.
00:12:42
Speaker
Yeah. I, you know, I kind of like the, um, those, uh, mechanics tool chests, you know, they're pretty cool. They whirl around. I could see something like that with that Kaizen foam in there. Yeah. Um, you know, it seems like blasphemy though, like hand planes.
00:13:02
Speaker
It eliminates the joy of building something and just the aesthetic. Yeah. Um, mountain guy, mountain top, joiner shop. Uh, he's got some fantastic plain tills and stuff. Yeah. I always wonder how heavy those things are. Like, you know, when people make a, not the wall mounted version, but sort of like the, the, the tool chest version. Yeah. Those things got away a ton. Yeah.
00:13:35
Speaker
Yeah, I tried a long time ago. I tried making like a prototype box, you know, out of plywood and stuff like that. And it was so impractically heavy to move around by myself. I scrapped the whole idea. For like installs? Yeah, yeah. You know, I thought I would be taking this and that and the other thing.
00:14:00
Speaker
You know, it was, it was a, it was a cold bucket of water learning experience. That's what sustainers are for. Yeah. Yeah. Even the sustainers get heavy. Oh yeah. And they're almost, you know, way nothing. Yeah. There's, there's nothing to them. Um, but I think, um, given the right,
00:14:24
Speaker
amount of time I would really enjoy working on something like that. Like, you know, making the bench, making drawers, making auxiliary things. Oh yeah. Um, that's sort of like almost a year long project in my mind, you know, where you're sort of, you're just tinkering.
00:14:45
Speaker
Yeah. I think as a professional, that kind of stuff is very hard to bring yourself to do. That's a retirement thing. I mean, listen, if I get a Saturday where I don't have to be here working on actual work, that's the thing too. I'm going to come here and then stare at work that has to get done while I'm working on some shit to hold my chisel. Yeah. Um,
00:15:10
Speaker
You know, I always found it, it was a, it was sort of like a break back when I was working by myself. I'd go in on Saturday and it'd clear my head, you know, just to get away from the, the, the work work.
00:15:31
Speaker
No, there's no escaping the work. No, it's the only way to escape it is to get it done. Yeah. It's waiting for you. But I found, I found, uh, that I enjoyed, you know, having like a side project. Yeah. Yeah. It depends on the workload, I guess. Yeah. Right now there's no, uh, there's no room for that mentally. There's no, for me, at least there's no room for any side, any side projects. Um,
00:16:00
Speaker
What was the hell was I gonna say?
00:16:03
Speaker
Like I'm on version two of chisel holder. You know, I had version one, which was, uh, I forget what I think was made out of cherry. Now I'm version two is made out of walnut and I made changes that made it better. But again, it's just one of those things where, and it's like the tyranny of the urgent where there's always something that has to get done. That's more important than.
00:16:33
Speaker
Oh yeah. Having your chisels in a, in a fancy little thing, you know, I wish I had a place to put my drivers. Yeah. Forget about the hand tools. Yeah. My bench is just crammed full of shit right now. You know, the stuff that I really use every day. Yeah. Mine are just sitting in the tool well.
00:17:01
Speaker
Yeah, my chisels are just sitting on a shelf. You open up the door and they're just sitting in there. Mine are stabbed into a piece of foam and they're under in that space between the benchtop and the cabinet where the dogs go.
00:17:24
Speaker
Um, I mean, when we're doing casework and stuff like that, it's, there's almost no call for them. Unfortunately, you know, cause we're doing plywood casework. We're not building like a, you know, a repro piece of furniture or anything like that. Every now and again, you know, it gets called in, but usually it's casework, face frames, um, you know, machine joinery.
00:17:57
Speaker
But I like the shoulder plane for cleaning up the, you know, mortise and tenon joint. Um, but other than that, uh, I don't reach for a hand tool too often. Yeah. Yeah. Not, not a ton. Well, thank you for that question. Yeah. Uh, let's see, what do we got?
00:18:29
Speaker
Here is one from Matthew Erb. Got a question for your next Q&A regarding Figured Wood. How do you decide when to incorporate Figured into your designs? Do you apply it based off of a specific style, client request, designer spec, or personal whims? When would you avoid using Figured Wood in a piece and how picky are you when selecting clear stock?
00:18:54
Speaker
Yeah. You want to take it first? Um, I mean, to be honest, we really don't use, I mean, we haven't used like a figured wood. Like we get wood, wood comes in that is figured, but we haven't like specified a figured wood on a project. Um, unless I'm misremembering.
00:19:19
Speaker
Yeah, I don't, I don't remember. I mean, I, in the past I've done, you know, five or six jobs where it was spelled out, but it was something that you had to present and sell to the client in a sense. It's like, here's the design. And for these panels, we're going to use. And most people, they don't really want that.
00:19:46
Speaker
Yeah. Um, I mean, at least the clientele that we're running into, you know, they want something a little bit, uh, tamer is I'll say is more, more linear and symmetrical and
00:20:02
Speaker
Yeah, less organic and more sort of crammed into a box. Guys like Bliss, you know, like he uses a lot of tiger maple, he uses a lot of bird's eye maple, and it fits with those, you know, reproduction style that maybe they're not actual reproductions, but those reproduction style, those period style pieces.
00:20:27
Speaker
period style. That's the way to put it. You know, we're not doing veneer work with sunburst and stuff like that, or, you know, a burl framed burl with piping and stuff like that. It's just, or, you know, stringing lights. I don't know. It's just not really something that we have gotten into.
00:20:48
Speaker
No. I mean, we do a lot of book matching and, uh, what would you call like grain matching where we're, you know, cutting the doors out of, uh, you know, a larger piece so that when the doors close, you could see the, um, so we do take that sort of care, but, um, create some balance in the piece, but yeah, it's, um,
00:21:18
Speaker
It's not something we've been asked to do, actually. I mean, most people don't have the stomach for the price of real wood anyway. You can use figured veneer, which is very common because obviously it's cheaper than using solid wood.
00:21:38
Speaker
Yeah, I mean I in the past when I've done it I used to go through a lot of wood because you get really finicky and like the Trying to match up like two doors Sometimes can be a task. Yeah, this one's a little darker This one the figure goes this way the figure on this one going the other way Yeah, so it can be pretty costly
00:22:10
Speaker
And I didn't have, um, you know, a nice, uh, why belt sander back then either. Yeah. You know, so sometime, and I was running straight knives. This is way back in the stone age. So there's, there's more problems there. Yeah. You know,
00:22:29
Speaker
Yeah, and then really you got figured wood, like you're going to want to do a scraped finish or a planed finish, because otherwise you're you're dulling out the figure. It's just like a whole other sector of woodworking, really. Yeah, yeah. There's lots of little tricks and things like that to go along with that.
00:22:54
Speaker
Um, did we answer? I mean, everything in his question. Yeah. I mean, I'd say the short answer is we really just don't do it. Uh, sort of just by happenstance. Yeah. Oh, fine. Well, as I just smack into the microphone. Uh, let's see. Oh, we got one here from a patron.
00:23:21
Speaker
Oh, it's always nice to hear from the patrons. Yeah. Chris Larson, AKA Midnight Maker. Oh, geez. Question for the podcast. As a fledgling YouTuber, is it acceptable to say your video is sponsored by a company even though it isn't?
00:23:38
Speaker
I know it's a lie, but is it a victimless crime that may help real sponsors feel more comfortable sponsoring future videos? The unsuspecting company gets free advertising and my channel might become a larger part of my side hustle. Thoughts? I know you guys are going to say no, but I'd like the devil's advocate debate. I do have some videos that are truly sponsored and have some future deals to follow through with if that helps.
00:24:05
Speaker
Well, thanks for writing in Chris. That's an interesting question. Yeah. Um, I mean, is there really a benefit? Let's first off think about it. Is there really a benefit saying this video is sponsored by DeWalt tools?
00:24:24
Speaker
Uh, yeah, I think it brings legitimacy or I think it brings an air of legitimacy. Yeah. Okay. Especially if it's a brand that people respect, you know, for the first, the first part of the question is, is it acceptable to say your video is sponsored by a company, even though it isn't? I mean, I'm going to say, I'd say no. Yeah. I would, I would say that's kind of a lie. So then we wouldn't, we wouldn't get behind that.
00:24:53
Speaker
Yeah, it's definitely, you know, misleading. Right, like we said, you know, this podcast is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz. Did you know that Mercedes-Benz gives us vehicles to drive? I don't know. It's that way. You don't even have to take it that far. I mean, even just saying it's sponsored when it's not. Yeah.
00:25:25
Speaker
Um, victimless crime. I don't know. Let's see. Depends on how you define victim. You know, do you have to be actually harming someone in some way? Like whether it be, uh, physically, monetarily, emotionally, whatever. Well, is misleading a listener? Is that, do they, are they victims? I mean, I, I would say so.
00:25:53
Speaker
Like you're saying, wow, this guy's got some credibility. He's got something going on. Look who's sponsoring him. He must know what he's doing. Otherwise they wouldn't sponsor him. Yeah. Um, yeah. I mean, the more you dive into it, doesn't really seem victimless.
00:26:17
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, it'd be like if you were a, uh, let's say you were, uh, a, um, a basketball, like you ran a basketball camp and then, you know, at the, you have like, uh, whatever you go, go to schools or something. I don't know what the hell am I trying to say? Or you go to places and you're like, yeah, you know, I played for the Knicks. Uh,
00:26:42
Speaker
You know, or I went to, you know, I played for the North Carolina Tar Heels with Michael Jordan. And did you know that LeBron James endorses my camp? Yeah. Uh, it's, you know, well, I guess, you know, there you're getting paid by people. So it's a little bit different, but I wonder what a more realistic analogy would be.
00:27:03
Speaker
Yeah. So, um, it's an interesting tack to take. Like I, I wouldn't think of doing something like that. Like I, I wouldn't, um, but, uh, I mean, there's plenty of liars out there on YouTube. So don't feel too bad, Chris.
00:27:26
Speaker
You could just go for it. As far as the shenanigans going on out there, that's pretty tame. Yeah. I mean, some people make a career out of just lying about, you know, what they know. Right. Right. He's not misrepresenting what he knows. Right. So it's not terrible. No, but I do feel like it almost
00:27:57
Speaker
Sorry, I'm moving the microphone. We gotta get shock mounts for these things. Um, it almost cheapens what you do know, you know, because if you were to be found out, yeah, we're going to be like, what's this guy's deal? You know, he was saying he was sponsored by Lee Valley and he wasn't. Yeah. That's where, um,
00:28:19
Speaker
Like the cover-up, what happens like when politicians get caught doing stuff? Oh yeah, it was like with Nixon, with Watergate, they said the cover-up was worse than the crime. Yeah. You know, so it might seem trivial, but when you get found out, and you will get found out. Yeah. Well, now you really can't do it. Because now all these people know. Yeah.
00:28:50
Speaker
Did we say Chris midnight maker? That's what, not who wrote that in there was something else. Noontime maker. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I don't know. I would just, uh, I would just hold out for the videos that have a real sponsor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That'll, that'll be sweeter. I'd say, you know,
00:29:18
Speaker
If you want to talk about just maybe talk in the video about a sponsor that you're working on getting or that you'd like to get, you know, that's engaging for the viewers. Um, and they'll feel invested in sort of your whole, uh, journey as a YouTuber, you know, with you. That's a good idea. Hopefully that answered your question.
00:29:49
Speaker
We got one here from Marjuk El-Alahi.
Unplanned Interruptions
00:29:54
Speaker
Hi, dear. I hope this message finds you well. My name is Marjuk and I'm an experienced Facebook advertising specialist with a proven track record in the furniture industry. Over three years of experience, I'm confident that my knowledge and expertise can help your business achieve its goals. Oh, wait, this is just an advertisement that we got.
00:30:13
Speaker
What about Mar done in Brad street number specializes in creating customized advertising strategies that are tailored to your business and reach your target audience effectively. I don't even know how anybody gets this email address. Uh, we've got one here from our buddy, Chris, Chris can or was actually talking to Chris today on a clubhouse.
00:30:42
Speaker
I'm probably too late for question of the month, but I want you guys to know how much I appreciate your knowledge and how good season two was. I learned a lot each week. I also appreciate your discount codes. Does having these really make an impact on your show? While I know a 15% code to a vendor bits and bits is great, does it really help you?
00:31:01
Speaker
I'm forwarding an email I got back from bits and bits after I inquired about the code not working. You can see the note I put in with my full price order. The next day I received this refund notification. I hope this helps you guys keep up the good work. CK, my personal email, you're lucky to have it.
00:31:21
Speaker
Yeah. So Chris ordered from bits and bits. Um, and he wrote in, I tried using American Craftsman code for 15% off. Can you adjust my order? Those guys do a good job of running you CK and they actually, um, they, um, honored the coupon code, even though it's no longer, we're no longer working with bits and bits. Um, nice. Yeah. So they, they honored it, which is really nice.
00:31:53
Speaker
So the question is, does having these really make an impact on your show? Well, I know a 15% code to a vendor is great. Does it really help you? I mean, the long and short of it is Bits and Bits was a sponsor of the show. So, you know, they would get an ad read and part of the whole thing is, you know,
00:32:14
Speaker
to have an ad is good, but they want to entice people obviously to go to the website and buy something. So in order to do that, they give you a personalized coupon code, which was American Craftsman. And they hope that it drives people to the site.
00:32:33
Speaker
So, I mean, the coupon code itself, whether people went to bits and bits and bought stuff or not, you know, we still got compensated for that because it was in the show no matter what. So, the coupon code itself, no, I mean, they're really like, well, it's like a multi-layered question, I guess. For bits and bits, no.
00:32:57
Speaker
Uh, for vesting, yes, like we're affiliates with vesting. So, uh, we see direct, uh, affiliate commission from every sale that uses the coupon code, American craftsman. Yeah. Um, yeah. So Maya derm and, and, uh, vesting, we're affiliates, Maya derm. We should take it down because last time I reached out and even hear from him. So who knows if, you know,
00:33:27
Speaker
What's going on with them? Yeah. I wonder what's going on. If they're, they're still in business or, uh, yeah, I don't know. We've been over here scratching and tweaking because we, we haven't had any mind there. Yeah. We need our mind arm fix. Well, they still got their website up still listed at GNC.
00:33:53
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we didn't really perform well for them. You could say, I don't want to deal with this anymore, but you know, at least answer my email. Yeah.
00:34:09
Speaker
Yeah. And I think it gives them a way to sort of gauge how our listeners respond to us. Yeah. It's a way to measure the return on investment for the ad.
00:34:28
Speaker
3M, we were working with 3M, there was a personalized link. So anytime somebody clicked on that link, they knew that they came to the 3M website because of the podcast. Um, similar thing, just a little bit, uh, less high tech. Yeah. Um, that's, that's an interesting question too. It was very good. Yeah. A little peek behind the curtain. Yeah.
00:34:58
Speaker
Let's see, we have a comment that came in from our buddy Dave, Dave Vitamin. Rob and Jeff, I heard you recently made a thousand salt sellers and thought congratulations were in order. Not only is salt a nuance topic, but teaching a thousand people to market and sell salt as a profession is a formidable task.
00:35:19
Speaker
He has sellers. S-E-L-L-E-R. The world is a tastier place with Green Street's army of salt sellers. It's nice to see Jeff putting his restaurant experience to good use. And Rob. Yeah. Thank you, David. He's always got a clever witticism. Yep.
00:35:42
Speaker
Yeah, so we'll be making 500 more and pretty soon. I mean, I got to check in with Oakooch. We should be getting that pretty soon. Yes, the wood. Yeah, because I ordered that. Let's see. Ordered that inboxes Oakooch January 26th. What's today? The second? Is today Groundhog Day?
00:36:14
Speaker
Yeah. I wonder if, uh, Punxsutawney Phil saw a shadow. I don't know. Ali sent me this before though. I just opened a red. A New Jersey council woman shot and killed impossible targeted attack outside her home. Wow. What city? Uh, Oh shit. Sayerville. It's retail stream. Well,
00:36:45
Speaker
It's crazy. What does it say?
Local News & Reflection
00:36:52
Speaker
Uh, one for was inside her white SUV when she was shot Wednesday night. Officials said she sustained multiple gunshot wounds. It was pronounced dead at the scene. Holy shit. Lived in the townhouse complex where she was killed. The motive for the shooting was not immediately disclosed. Police did, did not say if a suspect was identified or an arrest had been made.
00:37:17
Speaker
That's some serious stuff. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't, uh, I didn't realize it was Sarable. That's like, I mean, from here, only like three, three, four towns, something like that. 15 minutes. I mean, that's it. Uh, let's see. I don't see anything about Groundhog's day. Oh, it's got, it's gotta be like top news. I don't read it.
00:37:47
Speaker
Uh, you gotta look into them. Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter. This stupid Groundhog's never done. Never. Right. Here we go. Quebec Groundhog dies before making Groundhog Day prediction. Here's another headline. Same, same story. Instead of predicting length of winter, Groundhog simply dies. Oh.
00:38:16
Speaker
Fred is dead in Quebec. Willie and Sam at odds over spring's arrival. Canadian groundhog Fred Lamourmote found dead before Groundhog Day. He's a marmot. Fred is dead in Quebec. Groundhog Day tragedy. Canada's Punxsutawney film.
00:38:47
Speaker
Anyway, we got six more weeks of winter. Uh, it's been so mild. I know it's going to get freezing cold. Yeah. Yeah. Saturday's going to be seven, I think. Yeah. Tomorrow night and a Saturday. Yeah. So when, um, when Matthew Serio was here a couple of weeks ago, he brought us to sealed envelopes.
00:39:17
Speaker
This one says question of the month to be opened, to be open while recording, not before on your honor. And then envelope number two, to be opened only after answering the question on air. So we've been holding on to these for two, three weeks. Yeah. We haven't peaked. So let's see, we're
Woodworking Joints Challenge
00:39:38
Speaker
going to open them up. This, this is the last question.
00:39:47
Speaker
I feel bad going through a sticker. You can hear the envelope actually opening. There's some thick duct tape on there.
00:40:23
Speaker
What's the paragraph? To my good sirs at Green Street Joinery.
00:40:28
Speaker
I apologize for need for insured honesty, but it is for your own protection and the integrity of your podcast. By sealing this question in a tamper-proof envelope, it ensures that your listeners get a true reading of your vast knowledge of joints. Since you are Green Street Joinery, I would like you to demonstrate that you can live up to your name by listing for us as many different types of joints as you can without searching the internet on your honor.
00:40:54
Speaker
and then identify which you feel is the strongest. After you are done, you may open the envelope two to see how you fared. Enjoy. Yours truly and sincerely, Matthew Serio, known in your circles as Arciano Serio. Or Serio. I feel like I'm going to have to open a little document to
00:41:20
Speaker
Keep track. Yeah. Let's see. Move the microphone a little bit. Who was it? Keith told me that this, uh, I was like, man, I told him about the envelope thing. I was like, what the hell could be in there? I'm like, last, you know, last time it was about killing homeless people with Taylor Swift.
00:41:48
Speaker
Keith assured me that it was not that type of question. Taylor Swift with the candlestick. Let's see. Pages in the dining room. All right. Joints. I mean, we'll start off with the easiest one. The butt joint. Shout out to Ed John's butt joint.
00:42:20
Speaker
Then we got a miter. Yeah. Half lap. Half lap. Bridal. Yeah. Of course, mortise and tenon. Mortise and tenon. You know, dovetail. Dovetail. Well, can we go like through tenon?
00:42:48
Speaker
half blind dovetail, things like that. Peg tenon. Yeah. I feel like that's getting a little too. Cause there could be an infinite variations on those things. Yeah. We've got a houndstooth dovetail. We've got a sunrise dovetail. We've got a
00:43:12
Speaker
an inlay dovetail. We got a miter dovetail, a half blind dovetail, a full blind dovetail, a through dovetail. All right. What about a rabbit? Rabbit. Rabbit joint. R-A-B-B-E-T for those of you out there who didn't know that. Is that considered a joint? I think that'd be a tongue and groove.
00:43:40
Speaker
Yeah, there you go. Tongue and groove. Um... Ship lap? Is that same as lap? Half? No, that's... That's a... Well, wouldn't that just be a type of a rabbit joint? Ah, yeah. Just like a different configuration. Yeah, yeah. What's the joint called where you just lay two pieces of wood kind of near each other and then you fill the middle with epoxy? The river joint. River joint. We're putting that.
00:44:11
Speaker
That counts. I bet you don't have that on their cereal. Scarf. Scarf joint. Oh man. There's probably some super obvious ones that we're forgetting. Let's see. Finger. Oh yeah. Finger joint.
00:44:39
Speaker
What, I guess you can't use lock miter if you got miter. Yeah, I was just thinking about a lock miter, but I guess, yeah, I mean, again, you get into semantics or specifics. What do you call that, that, that drawer joint that sort of like, like, you know, you ever see, it's a, it's a rabbit bit set that makes
00:45:07
Speaker
Drawer boxes and it's kind of like a lock miter, but it's like a you know like You ever see it's like one side kind of hooks on to the other. Oh Yeah, I know what you're talking. I'm really fishing now, but I've seen like those router bit sets like a rabbit But it has like a little tongue on it. Yes. Yes, perpendicular to the grabs on Yeah
00:45:33
Speaker
sliding dovetail. Yeah. I was thinking that too. I put it on there. That's specific enough. Yeah. Um, what about something with a peg? Um, what about, uh, Hmm.
00:46:07
Speaker
Yeah. Like, you know, if you're doing like, uh, like if you're putting in one of those draw boards or whatever, isn't that, I mean, it's, it's a mortise intended though. Yeah. With a, with a draw board. Um, okay. Uh,
00:46:31
Speaker
I'm running dry. Yeah. That's why I'm bad at like stuff like Scrabble. Cause I think and think and then my mind just goes blank. Herringbone. No, that's a pattern. Yeah. Um, how thick is the second envelope? Well, I guess you could fit a lot of whoopies. Yeah.
00:47:03
Speaker
Are we tapping out? Uh, yeah, maybe. Yeah. So we got butt joint, miter, half lap bridle, mortise, antenna, dovetail, rabbit, tongue and groove, river joint, scarf, finger joint, sliding dovetail. Plus all the things we didn't write down, like the half blind dovetail, the full blind dovetail, the miter dovetail, the, uh, you know, pegged mortise and tenon, the tusk, mortise and tenon with the tusk, all that. All the different kinds of lap joints. Oh, what about the,
00:47:31
Speaker
See, it's another miter like the three we like when you join the miter in the corner castle joint Castle joint. Yeah three wave lighter But yeah, I mean There's a lot of variations on right on the basics. It's like you have the mother sauces, right?
00:47:57
Speaker
So we're going to have to discount the numbers of the repetitive ones in there. I see like 40, 30 or 40 out here. Yeah. But joinery is another word for like fabricating furniture. Not, not joint-ery. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. 93.
00:48:27
Speaker
I thought it was going in this direction. I gotta reset my chair for this one. Oh my God. I had a feeling. I had a feeling. Tongue in cheek.

00:53:47
Speaker
I would like to demonstrate that you can move today by listening for us as many different types of joints as you can. Well, I think we got, we got more in the wood joints than we would have in the other kinds of joints. That's for sure. Uh, Sadio, it was now Sadio. Yeah.
00:54:15
Speaker
We're going to have to have him back on to elaborate. Yeah. I wonder if he was able to do that all from memory. Yeah. That would be quite the feat. That's a lot of research, especially him being a PK. Well, you know, they sound pretty progressive. It might, it might get away with that. That's true. I like those Catholics.
00:54:44
Speaker
Of which we are now practicing members. You can't smoke pot and be a Catholic, but you can have a crippling alcoholism that you just, you know, only engage in in the evening. As long as it's after work, you can drink as much as you want. Yeah, you got to get up and get to work. That's right.
00:55:10
Speaker
and fill the, you know, when that plate goes around. Yes. Put in your fair share. 10%. Well, those are, that's all the questions we got, which that's pretty good amount. Yeah. Uh, sounds like our, our call to action has been answered. Yeah. I appreciate it. Believe me. Let me see. I got to go in here and, uh, archive all of these so that I don't read them next time.
00:55:39
Speaker
Now we got a lot of good questions. It's not going to be a runaway. I don't think we, you know, we'll discuss it, but I was just about to say, we should just get given Sario two glasses last time he was here.
Closing & Listener Engagement
