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.

• Matt is shortening his life huffing paint fumes.

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.

• Karter has a neighbor with great tools that he uses from time to time and asks how he can suggest that neighbor buy more tools so he can have his cast offs.
• Mark is resawing on his table saw with a small 8 1/4" blade and asks how he can get better results.
• David was recently given a bunch of wood and asks for resources to learn about which species are best for what application.
