Podcasts about drawbored tenons

Question 1: From Tony: We hear so much talk about  Lie Nielsen, Veritas, and Stanley hand planes but, I have a Millers Falls No. 8 that i picked up from an Antique store, that works really well. I don't think I’ve ever heard the Millers Falls Name be mentioned on the Podcast, so I am wondering if they’re any good? They seem to have been in contention with Stanley and they are American made from New England no less, since 1868!

Is it a bad idea to attempt this type of joint in a softer woods like cherry or walnut, rather than oak. Drawbored Tenons by Steve Latta #241–July/Aug 2014 Issue  Video: Chris Gochnour - Drawboring and Gluing Up the Face Frame Floating-Top Table by Michael Pekovich #263-Sep/Oct 2017 Issue Segment: Smooth Move Mike - Forgetting that someone commissioned something from him, not those he looks up to Barry - Making a mistake on a piece, remaking the piece, then accidentally using the mistake on the final piece Ben - Trying to get away with not making a proper sled and accidentally dropping a piece on the tablesaw blade Question 3: From Bob: Can someone explain the difference between a scrub plane and a smooth plane? They seem similar in size and construction. Question 4: From Phillip: I am looking to build a dining room table to a friend of mine, and am wondering what type of wood would be best to use. I have narrowed it down to White Oak, Cherry, and Walnut. The friend that I am making this for is a military man, and so gets stationed at different bases around the country every few years. My main concern is the table warping or splitting due to the drastic location and environmental changes that he will come across. Obviously, being a dining room table it also must be sturdy and not be too prone to scratches, dings, etc. White Oak is very wear resistant, but has a medium-high shrinkage value. Cherry is pretty stable once dried, but is softer and may get more dings. Walnut seems to be the middle road, being harder and less susceptible to scratches than Cherry but less likely to shrink/warp than White Oak. What type of wood would you suggest that is going to be resistant to scratches and dings, yet won't warp or split in drastic climate changes?  Recommendations: Barry - Dedicated Shop Shoes Ben - Chris Thile's Thank You, New York"Mike - Tom Waits' album Swordfish Trombones Every two weeks, a team of Fine Woodworking staffers answers questions from readers on Shop Talk Live, Fine Woodworking‘s biweekly podcast.
