Beat Around The Bench Podcast

The gang kicked off with a mouth-watering breakfast food challenge, debating favorites from Waffle House concoctions (Jess's infamous "slop on a plate") to fancy Eggs Benedict, with Ross revealing breakfast restaurants are cash cows due to cheap ingredients and high margins.Colton shared updates on his uncle's DIY sawmill project and his camper shell paint job at his father-in-law's auto body shop, noting surprising similarities between furniture restoration and auto body work.Jess walked us through his current kitchen cabinet installation in a metal-stud condo, ranting about challenging blind corner cabinets and the pros/cons of dark blue cabinet finishes.The Wood of the Week segment featured cottonwood—a surprisingly useful lumber despite being super lightweight (28 pounds per cubic foot) and soft (430 on Janka scale), commonly used for crates, plywood components, and carvings.Ross absolutely crushed Jess in the domestic hardwood trivia challenge, revealing fascinating facts about woods from Puerto Rican mahogany to Florida's bald cypress used in musical instruments.Ross delivered a deep dive on whiskey production costs, breaking down the $1,500 price tag for a 4-year barrel before bottling—including grain costs, barrels ($300 each), labor, warehousing, and the inevitable "angel's share" evaporation.The nugget section featured practical wisdom: invest in a good laser level for installation work, use proper drill press speed settings for different materials, and always wash your hands thoroughly between steps when working with reactive finishes.

The Boys dive into their favorite chicken recipes - from beer can chicken with lime juice tricks to perfectly crispy chicken parm - before jumping into their latest woodworking projects and workshop adventures.Ross shares his creative repair solution for a customer's sentimental checkerboard, using wood glue mixed with sawdust and stain to fill gaps while preserving the original character made by the customer's father.The woodworkers debate the best approaches for repairing heirloom furniture pieces, with all agreeing that preserving original character matters more than technical perfection when dealing with sentimental items.Jess recounts his challenging "Shutter Saga" of mounting custom shutters on difficult Coquina walls (seashells embedded in stucco), requiring expensive stainless hardware and creative mounting techniques for waterfront conditions.Colton details his wedding project success creating a custom domino table that guests could carve signatures into, plus his cabinet door paint struggles that were saved by Zinsser BIN shellac-based primer.The podcast reveals professional painting secrets, including using 3/8 microfiber "hot dog" rollers for cabinets and why Zinsser BIN primer (which contains insect secretions!) is the miracle solution for difficult surfaces.Essential woodworking nugget: "Hold it up and mark it" emerged as Jess's top tip for precision, while Ross discovered that simply moving a table saw fence to the opposite side of the blade dramatically improves safety and support.Fascinating woodworking history lesson covers workbench evolution from ancient Rome through Medieval Europe to modern designs, noting how traditional Roubo and Nicholson benches are making a comeback in the hand tool renaissance.Paint technology trivia reveals Sherwin-Williams introduced latex paint in 1941, titanium dioxide provides paint opacity, and acrylic paints were first developed for artists in the 1950s before revolutionizing home painting.The podcast showcases the camaraderie of woodworkers sharing practical shop knowledge with humor and real-world solutions to common woodworking, finishing, and home improvement challenges.

The crew strongly advises hiring professionals for spray foam work rather than attempting DIY.The gang dives into shop setup talk, with Colton exploring options for his new workspace. They debate electrical setups, with Ross and Jess pushing for running power from the existing breaker panel rather than installing a costly second meter.Jess introduces Tulipwood as the "Wood of the Week" - a stunning Brazilian hardwood prized for its pink to purple hues, once used by French craftsmen for luxury furniture. This transitions into a trivia segment about million-dollar furniture pieces, with the Badminton Cabinet selling for a jaw-dropping $36 million!Ross serves up a shot of whiskey history, explaining how moonshining emerged after the Revolutionary War to dodge taxes, eventually leading to speakeasies during Prohibition and even the birth of NASCAR as moonshiners souped up cars to outrun authorities.The "Snipe and Nugget" segment features practical tips: Colton warns about water-based stains not storing well in garage conditions, Jess recommends Milwaukee's special tile drilling bits and storing fillers in airtight containers, and Ross emphasizes thinking several steps ahead before making irreversible moves in woodworking.Colton shares his discovery of unconventional materials sources - informal construction material yards where he scored pine boards for $6 each and birch plywood for $36 per sheet, sparking a conversation about where these budget-friendly materials might come from.#woodworking #woodworkingpodcast #diyexperts #furniturehistory #woodshoptips #whiskeyhistory #toolhacks #projectplanning #woodturning #craftsman

The boys welcome the dynamic duo Leigh and Mush from Storytellers Tavern Podcast, who've been recording maker community shenanigans at events where the best stories happen between 1-4 AM (what happens at the campfire doesn't always stay at the campfire)!Leigh and Mush run school makerspaces where kids from preschool through high school get their hands dirty with everything from power tools to lasers—their philosophy? Crank up Lionel Richie or AC/DC while the kids create, because nobody wants a sign that says "Quiet Engineers at Work" (Leigh's mortal enemy).The teaching philosophy these guys champion isn't about fancy gadgets—it's about building students who can think on their feet when stuff breaks, Google solutions, and not run to "the old bald guy" for answers every five minutes.During the hilariously chaotic rapid-fire trivia showdown, Mush demolished Leigh with his encyclopedic knowledge of obscure woodworking tools—bet you didn't know what a "froe" was either (it's not the opposite of a "two")!The group shared how their students developed a facial training device for blind actors after discovering blind kids rocking power carving tools—prompting the school's business office to have a minor heart attack over "bringing blind kids in to play with power tools."Jess schooled everyone on the humble beginnings of those big-box hardware stores—turns out Home Depot started when two guys got fired and said, "Screw you, we'll start our own place" (and now they're making billions)!The "snuggits" segment revealed hard-earned wisdom: Ross's fingerprints are now permanent decor on a guitar because he couldn't wait 72 hours for automotive paint to cure, while Mush praised the miraculous cleaning powers of crocodile cloths (which apparently taste delicious according to Leigh).Both podcast crews proved they're cut from the same wonderfully warped wood—building communities where makers share stories, skills, and the occasional inappropriate joke about beating tools that would make middle schoolers giggle.
