This week, Johnny, James, and Zack discuss striving for perfection in their woodworking and metalworking. We talk about when a piece is perfect enough, and why perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Q & A:

Email from Matt Parker: I picked up used brace at a flea market and it's in great shape besides the covering of surface rust. I have de-rusted many plane parts in the past in the same way you do by submerging in a vinegar solution , but with the wooden parts on the brace I don't see this as a good option. How would you go about removing the rust?
