On today’s show, we are doing a little Woodworking in America recap and of course our regular selection of shop stories, links, voicemails and emails.
What’s on the bench?
Shannon is extra busy doing volunteer work but he just can’t figure out why. He’s currently building a gate and sticking 200 lf of moulding, egg & dart moulding.
Marc just finished up installing his Nordfab ductwork in the new shop.
Matt is still busy playing with his new Precious: a beautiful SawStop cabinet saw! Check out his unboxing video.

I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it’s definitely about the ergonomics of the show’s personalities!
Byrdie.
Great show guys. I was finaly able to hear this by clicking on the download MP3 link (there is a several minute delay before the show starts playing). The streaming player controls directly above this link shows up as just a grey box with no controls. This is the case for all the WTOR episodes on this site, but not on Matt’s or Shannon’s websites. Given Matt and Shannon are no longer replicating the WTOR episodes on their sites, appreciate if you could look into the streaming controls here. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
We are looking into this for sure. Are you using Firefox? That’s the only browser I can reproduce the problem in. You might try using an alternative browser in the mean time.
Hi Mark. I checked back on this WTOR #105 episode and the streaming player controls now are a grey box with the words “Download File” in white letters. These words are a link to WT_105.ogg file which my browser/computer don’t know how to open. I am running XP and IE8 (an old desktop computer). Same thing on Windows7 IE8. Thanks for looking into it.
We’ll look into it for sure. Until we can get it worked out, you might just try a different browser.
I think it was in this episode you mentioned how much you liked Norfield dust collection piping. I went to their website but didn’t see the pipe you talked about. They had some flexible hose and some clamps. Am I going to the wrong site?

Thanks. I though I might have had the wrong site.
I’m looking forward to your show going weekly.
