Shannon, for an American, your swedish was excellent. One little note though. Not every O is funny, only the ø and ö *. You have the best ø I have heard from anyone that is not Scandinavian.

*the ø and ö are the same, us Norwegians just have to be different from the rest, so we use ø.

Marc,

I hope your feeling better. While it was weird you were not on the show, I thought Shannon and Matt did a great job on #228.. Thanks for not canceling the show for another week, I’m not sure if I could go cold turkey 2 weeks in a row without my WoodTalk fix…LOL Thanks guys.

Shannon,

I know this is a waaaaay late comment to this show, but after a hiatus from listening to you guys I’m back.

I agree about Miller Dowels. They’re great. I just recently started using them and I had no issues during the build. I used walnut dowels in some clear old growth pine I found in my great uncle’s garden shed. The combination is beautiful and strong!
