Show Topic: Balancing Our Work Lives And Personal Lives

Q & A:

From JD Chambers, Rainfall Projects:

Age old question woodworkers have been asking themselves for millennia: Does a longer, skinnier board go on the bottom of the wood stack or a wider shorter one?

Evan Dunville

Do you guys have any design tips that help to create projects that are easy to batch out but dont look overly batched out?

Joke of the Week:

Matthew Buntyn

"Why was the pine board put in timeout?

Because it was too knotty."
