The Woodworking Morning Show for March 28, 2025

This article was originally posted on The Wood Whisperer.
Summary
The Woodworking Morning Show (Mar 28, 2025) debuts a new time (10am ET) with audience shoutouts and light banter (National Hot Tub Day, Schitt’s Creek). Marc and Nicole tackle live Q&A on finishing engraved pieces (lacquer, shellac, application tips), building a hybrid workbench and setting height, making a sofa arm table, using Rubio finishes, CNC workholding, compressor hiccups, boom-based dust collection, sharpening plane irons, laser setup, and comparing bandsaws (SCM vs Minimax 16). Updates include the Table Saw Storage Cabinet project pre-order, TWW store news, a wall-control craft room, DIY bike repair space, class posters, and Ryan Smith’s custom sign, plus Guild+ and Wood Talk podcast status/future plans. They also discuss health/work balance, the importance of community, antique tool preferences, Girl Scout cookie/shop visits, Hallmark ornaments, and a 3D-printed fidget star.

Which topic resonated most—finishing engraved pieces, dialing in workbench height, or dust collection upgrades—and what’s your go-to solution?

This is our new time! 10am Eastern/7am Pacific
