Kickback
Last episode we had a question from Simon about loss of grip strength and how he should deal with it. We got some good suggestions:
- Brian suggests "Hand-i-craft" also has nerve damage in their hand, leading to them coming up with some interesting approaches to woodworking: https://www.youtube.com/@hand-i-craft
- Tommaso suggests: check out Essential Craftsman channel, he has a friend he works with who is an exceptional woodwork. The guy suffered a stroke and lost control of his dominant side, and theres a few videos on how he's dealing with it.
- Marc suggests @delbasidtimbers on IG - https://www.instagram.com/delbasidtimbers/
- Butch is impressed by how hard we work when we are actually getting paid to do the show.
Listener Questions
- Tom is making small, 3" ish circles with a router and template and seeks advice on a safe and clean way to do it. Marc suggests a sanding jig instead of a router and referenced this video from Bob Lang: https://youtu.be/m6FfXUAPx1w?si=XuydD01MByNN83DH
- John is building a workbench and asks about getting quartersawn material vs flatsawn material.
- Brandon is looking for a resource to help him identify trees so he can buy logs and know what he is getting.

It’s show #582 - On today’s show, we’re talking about tear out on cherry, stock prep time savings: planer or jointer, and there’s bugs in my nut wood.
Woodcraft is looking out for you guys. Do you know how?
They want to make sure you know what to expect when it comes to this whole tariff debacle. Because tariffs are obviously going to impact a LOT of the major power tool purchases woodworkers make in the foreseeable future.
So while details and dates are somewhat fluid, here are the most current timelines:
Woodcraft is trying to be as transparent as possible and they’ll be sending out emails about this in the future. Bottom line is, prices are going up. Woodcraft didn’t set the prices so don’t shoot the messenger.
So if you’re in the market and were thinking about making a major purchase, it probably behooves you to do it now.
In fact, here’s one better. When you go to woodcraft.com, you’ll get a little popup offering you a discount for signing up for their newsletter. Do it, because you can save 10% off your first order. Exclusions apply so you’ll want to read that fine text but hey, a discount’s a discount.

Kickback
So many of you wrote in to say how much the burnout episode spoke to you. From those dealing with the loss of a parent to those struggling to find time for woodworking. Burnout is a very real issue and we are so thankful for all of you who commented and took the time to write to us about your own personal experiences with it.
Listener Questions
+Mike lives in the AZ desert and wonders how his dry climate changes how he woodworks and what he needs to consider when he builds projects that end up in much more humid climates.
+Lucas inherited a shop that is already plumbed for dust collection and asks about buying his first dust collector.
+Dane has a big hunk of burl that he resawed to make a chair seat. It took him a long time and left him exhausted and asks how he could improve other than buying a different tool.
+Jeremy spends enough time in front of a computer and asks how we feel about woodworking magazines as a way to get more woodworking knowledge.

Ryan, Kyler, and Paul wrote in with glowing reviews of Woodworking in America. For some it was the first ever woodworking conference while others had previous experience with the show. In all it was a positive vibe with a lot more focus on the presenters and less on the marketplace. The general feel is that we hope the show continues and can keep the smaller, education focused feel.
