Lol I'm glad I made it on the show. When i heard this segment i actually laughed out loud. The saw is a 14 inch saw. The blade broke about 3 inches from the weld. I had to fight with them for about 3 weeks but they finally got me a new 1.
I was surprised about the commentary on gel stains, not because of my own experience, but from watching Trena on John's Furniture. She's a master at color work on wood restoration and sometimes she uses gel stains. I always like the way she replaces damaged areas with fresh wood and after finishing gets everything to be homogeneous. On a recent show she said she tries not to show too much of that because it would be boring to people, and I jumped into her comments to say _please_ show more of your finishing and color magic. A lot of the things she uses for finishing is only available to professionals in Canada where she is, but she's always quick to note an equivalent-ish product for home shop use.
It is 100% true that many hobbyist spend way more than 1-3 person pro shops, but then once you get into slightly larger pro shops they then are getting into that crazy big/expensive tool arena. It’s a funny dynamic.
A key part of electrical work that many people fail to realize is that the difference between a 15 and 20 amp circuit isn't just the breaker. The wire gauge also needs to be of the appropriate size.
You'd hope that would be obvious, but it needs to be said. If the breaker happily lets through up to 20A but the wire fries above 15A, then your breaker protects you from absolutely nothing.
Im a hobbyist and I also don’t buy the expensive tools. As an example I settled for the DF 500 instead of the 700 and I settled for the 24” SMC bandsaw instead of the 30”. Just the low cost stuff!😊
Great show as always. Good shop electricity tip: buy 12 gauge extension cords. They are expensive but the larger gauge protects the tools from excessive resistance.
A duplex outlet is what you normally see in your house, with a place to plug two things in. A 2-gang or double gang box will let you put two duplexes in a box to have four places to plug in something. The two duplexes could be on the same breaker or different breakers.
**Question for the show down below** I’m happy that you guys built a break in to your lives while still making an extra show on the same day after you recorded #549. With your 60+ years of content creation, I see you guys slipped up by not changing shirts. 😂. Clearly Matt’s mistake! 😢. This show would not be the same without each of you. I’ve been working though catching up with all WT’s (In preparation for the release/conferring of the badge/sticker in recognition of those who ‘made it’. I’ve got to say that many of the older ones are Very Very difficult to drag myself though and not just skip like modern day music on the Spotify. To be clear, it was not/is not Marc or just that so much of it it aged and lacks much of the woodworking I’m interested in…🤷🏼♂️. I say all that to say this, This here, is Wood Talk as far as I’m concerned and I enjoy all your episodes. Even though I pick on Matt, he does sincerely embody the humorous nature the show holds for me. Thank you guys and thank you Rockler. So here’s the question: Will we at least get a Wood Talk Show sticker drop at one of your shops someday? I understand the impracticality of the Trench-foot Award for completing all of the WT catalog, but a WT sticker for the tools chest would be super neat!? 👍 Thank you, Shannon NWTennessee
Hola!🖐I'm finally, after this Labor Day Weekend, going to get going on building out my shop in my two car DETACHED garage. I'm Looking at adding a sub-panel and running all new electrical in there. It has electrical currently💥⚡💡 but it's old not not done right. I feel confident enough to do it myself but since "I know a guy", I'm definitely calling in back up. I'll let you know how it goes. Great show once again. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Great show....lots of good info. When it comes to electricity, I stop at the panel. No problem working off existing wiring, but I'm not comfortable working at the panel. As far as the "other rockler" I will disagree a bit there. Wood river is a great option for hand planes if you can't afford the high-end ones like a lie nielsen. Where as bench dog or Stanley that is sold in rockler are, in my opinion, inferior products. The biggest difference is in the iron itself. Shannon, I loved the info about your meeting with Thomas. I hope to get to his store one day.
I love the extra level of connection that video provides but I like the Spotify interface more. It’s me I know but Spotify is where all my podcasts go and channels organize and I can organize by played unplayed etc. I have too many notifications on RUclips to catch you guys here regularly :( just giving feedback not really asking for change.
Using steel electrical conduit as your ground is an excellent example of where you might want to consult an electrician if you aren't experienced. Both EU and US National standards support steel conduit as ground as a safe and effective practice that also drops expense. The devil is in the details, though. Every connection between conduit lengths or conduit to steel box have to be good electrical connections. If you don't understand this or even worse throw in a plastic box you can make bad shiznitz happen anywhere from things not working to things inside walls starting fires. That said, the amount of knowledge you need to do it safely isn't that much. You just have to know what you're doing.
Yes Marc, Costanza wanted to be called T-Bone but Krueger decided to call him Coco the Dancing Monkey. "Who said they were gonna buckle down and do some actual work today? Who?"
wow shop environment i work in the trades i had to buy my own hand tools and power tools too and a truck to do that work too plus the cost of the trade college school to was not cheap if you working in the trades yes you need to have your own tools too most of my friends are too stupid to run a saw or about to build a birdhouse too lol they question the use of the other person's tool most of them know to have their own too i have all the big shop tools they were able to use to clamps to
Blades, what to do when they are done. Even a hobbyist should buy a good blade, they won’t buy as many then over the same period of time, and then it makes sense to pay to have them sharpened.

Marc and Matt look completely lost when Shannon is responding to the walnut side table/gel stain question and it’s hilarious!
A duplex outlet is what you normally see in your house, with a place to plug two things in. A 2-gang or double gang box will let you put two duplexes in a box to have four places to plug in something. The two duplexes could be on the same breaker or different breakers.

You should do a video of a powertool guy in Shannon's shop.

Not the Dog Holes Matt! 😄
thanks....there is a local metal recycler that I user for 'old' metal
Yes Marc, Costanza wanted to be called T-Bone but Krueger decided to call him Coco the Dancing Monkey.
"Who said they were gonna buckle down and do some actual work today? Who?"
Most of the Specs on power tools, has recommended circuit size.
You had it right Marc, 2 gang
Beavis check it out, this channel says "wood" talk *Beavis and Butthead* laugh
Scary was watching Matt Frankenstein his thisckness planer using a damaged motor, and then running it…..
Funny show!
Rolling in Thirties…😂
