About this episode

The crew discusses woodworking topics, listener questions, and shares recipes in a post-spring break episode.

The crew is back from spring break with stories and shop talk—from Logan’s trip to the Northeastern Woodworkers Showcase to debates on router tables vs. shapers and powering an under-equipped shop. They dig into listener questions, controversial turning takes, and even the best way to upgrade your breakfast (everything bagel eggs, anyone?). Plus, a new wall-mounted workbench build, unexpected bullets in lumber, and a few old tool finds round out a wide-ranging, can’t-miss episode.
