For anyone interested in documentaries on design, I highly recommend the Gary Hustwit trilogy of Helvetica, Objectified, and Urbanized. Also “Design is One: The Vignellis”.
WT351 – On the coffin corner joinery, how about using a router lock miter bit. I have used it in building small boxes made from solid wood, not plywood, and I have had great results. One thing, make sure you rout the stile edges before gluing up the panels. I don’t see why it would not work for the coffin build. It is just a larger box. Just a thought. No “JERK JUICE” intended. 🙂
Because he’s using all hand tools. 🙂
Heh Guys, On your latest podcast I think you mentioned no Woodworking in America this year. But maybe it would be good to mention that Fine Woodworking is has resurrected their conference slated for April 21-23 at Southbridge Hotel & Conference Center, conveniently located minutes from Sturbridge, MA. Thought you might want to promote this since the other is an off year. Love the show
Why do you hate St. Louis, Marc? We have a Woodworking show as well as some of the nation’s best BBQ (little known fact). If you decide to come to the better half of Missouri, let me know! I’ll buy your BBQ lunch, BYOJJ!
**All in jest, of course!**
This is definitely the music that should play when Matt Remote controlling his sawmill https://youtu.be/pLFqeXm_5X4
