Asa, congratulations on a very successful event. I've heard nothing but accolades! I hope I'm able to make the trek next year.

Very nice, Ed! Making the drawing flexible for future growth is a great idea.

I can vouch for the Sutherland Welles product. Awesome stuff. Super easy to apply and looks phenomenal!

For my wooden shop floor, I put down an oil based poly. Too slick and a hassle. As I've cleaned up glues, stains, etc, along with maintenance, I've been putting down the cheap Bullseye Shellac. I think it's a 3lb cut. Dries fast and isn't nearly as slick. Great show, guys!

You'll enjoy that, Ed. Nice looking bench. What hardware are you going with for vise(s)? I went with the Benchcrafted, but I built a 10' Roubo. Everyone has different needs and space limitations, so I'm glad you're building something solid that diverges from the big beasts.

Right at $50.00, a Blue Spruce small marking knife would make any woodworking Dad a very happy camper. I own both the large and small as well as several of his chisels. You get the added benefit of supporting a boutique tool maker. They are the ones who are keeping the craft of tool making alive and well in my little world.

Absolutely fantastic, Matt. I love the textured undulations on the drawer fronts. Definitely something to add to my vocabulary.

I can't wait!! What a innovative take on G&G!!!

I view machines/power tools in the shop as the modern apprentices. I see no devalue in a piece of furniture simply because some processes were done with power, be it a tablesaw, router table, or a CNC machine.
