Woodworking Morning Show August 21st

A tired but funny show. We spent the morning fighting a broken checkout on the Guild site, so the Back to School sale got rebuilt with three working codes: BTS20 for one course, BTS30 for two, and BTS40 for three or more. Every purchase also comes with a free bundle of 10 Shop Notes articles. After that, it was cutting board finishes, dye for figured wood, how many table saw blades anyone actually needs, a DIY plumbing adventure that ended with sewer gas in the shop, and a long run of live questions. Greg’s Long View segment on building six chairs delivered the line of the day: do not finish the first pancake.
