This Episode's Questions: Brians Questions: Hey guys, I am building an arts and crafts style entryway table that is roughly modeled after a Stickley magazine stand. It will have an upper “shelf” that is surrounded on three side by the rails or stretchers on the side and back and is open on the front. The bottom “shelf” is identical. These two shelves are seated into the four legs. The front legs have a full depth groove cut into them that the shelf seats into and the rear legs have a cutout on the inside corner for the rear shelf support. I will include a link at the bottom showing the piece that I modeled my table after. The original is smaller and has three shelves, mine will only have two and will have spindles between the rear top and bottom stretchers as well. However, the way the shelves are attached will be the same. My question is this: How can I attach the shelves to the front and rear legs without causing issues with wood movement? The shelves will be somewhere in the 13-14” deep range. Gluing the shelf to the rear legs and letting the shelf slide in the groove in the front legs would work but there is no front rail or stretcher connecting the two front legs so I don't think that works. Can I glue the shelf to all four legs? Alternatively I suppose I could put a small low profile stretcher under the shelf connecting the two front legs, but I don't think it exists on the original and I'd prefer not to if I don't have to. Please feel free to contact me to clarify anything if I didn't explain well enough. Kellen I think the thing I struggle with the most in building furniture is laying out where each part is going to come from on the rough boards. All the wood I've bought so far was air dryed from Facebook marketplace, so maybe that has made it harder since the boards are never perfectly straight. I always use straight grain sections for the legs and I try to also use straight grain for any aprons, rails and stiles. This leaves alot of waste. If I have a 8" board and I use say 2.5" from each edge of straight grain, what do you do with the leftover center section that is just cathedrals? When do you not use straight grain on these types of parts? Any other advise on laying out parts on the rough boards? Thanks again for answering my questions and the best podcast. Jeff Guys Questions: Hey Guys, I love your show! I usually listen on my commute or while I'm working in the shop. I'm building a hayrake table out of walnut and haven't decided on the finish. I'm looking for something durable, easy to wipe clean (I have kids), and not super glossy. Any suggestions on what to use and how to apply it? Thank you for all the great tips! Ezra Thank you for your fantastic podcast! I really appreciate how accessible and practical you make woodworking for both beginners and experts alike. I've been woodworking for about two years now, mostly building cutting boards, boxes, gifts and simple furniture out of basic hardwoods. I've also dabbled in making furniture with plywood, such as a bedside table for my 11-year-old. I'm fortunate to be a member of a shared woodworking shop at a local arts and crafts society, which is well-equipped with power tools including a SawStop cabinet saw. Our shop uses a shared set of well-worn Freud blades which get pretty beat up, but I've had the privilege of using nicer table saw blades loaned to me by the shop keeper, who has been incredibly supportive as I develop my skills. This brings me to my question: I am ready to purchase my own table saw blades and have zoomed in on CMT as a brand for their value. I'm considering three blades: an 80-tooth Hi-ATB crosscut, a 24-tooth flat top grind ripping blade, and a 50-tooth combination blade with ATB and one TCG tooth, all in full kerf. My research suggests that the main arguments for thin kerf blades are that they are easier on low power table saws and produce less waste. Since I have access to a SawStop cabinet saw, I don't need blades suited for low power saws, and I'm not sure the reduced waste is worth the trade-offs. Are there other advantages or reasons I should consider a thin kerf blade? It seems that full kerf blades offer more stability and cleaner cuts, and as I build my skills, my expectations for precision are increasing. What are your thoughts on kerf size and blade choice for someone in my situation? Thanks for your advice, and keep up the great work! Stuart Huys Questions: Hey gents, I'm getting into a kitchen remodel and will be building all the cabinets myself because I'm a glutton for punishment. I'm trying to find a white (tintable base) finish, but am a little overwhelmed by all the options. It for sure needs to be water based, and I have an Airless system as well as a 2-stage HVLP for application. Can you recommend any product for this purpose? I've been experimenting with Target Coatings water based pigmented lacquer (EM6500wp) with their CL100 cross-linker and was just "ok" with the results. I tried spraying it with the HVLP but I'm thinking the finish was too thick to properly atomize with a 2-stage turbine, so maybe I need to shoot it with the Airless? I'm not super keen on any finish with a real limited pot life, since I'll be doing this on the nights and weekends, and feel like that would lead to a significant amount of waste. Thanks in advance for the insight! Travis Hello guys, I have been a long time listener and I really appreciate all of the knowledge that you guys share with the woodworking community. I have seen the Critter Siphon Gun advertised in the Lee Valley catalog and watched a few videos about it on YouTube. Have you had any experience with the Critter Siphon Gun and how does it compare to other options like HVLP sprayers? Thanks, Daniel

Fire and Emergency hopes to have the wild fire which has burned through nine hectares of pine forest, contained by the end of tomorrow. In the meantime, evacuated Lee Valley residents are being allowed limited access to their properties to take care of urgent needs, but they cannot return home. Nelson-Marlborough reporter, Sam Gee, reports.
Lee Valley resident Nicola Reif went to bed last night not knowing whether the works of art she has spent the past year creating for a Christchurch exhibition would be in ashes or not on Friday morning. Reif lives in one of the eleven evacuated houses in the Tasman district where firefighters have been working to contain blazes across nine hectares of pine forest, about 20 kilometres from Nelson. Reif spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss

If you were asked to name a world-class place to surf, a field near Bristol isn't the first location that would spring to mind. But this slice of the English countryside is home to The Wave, an artificial surfing lake that is one of just a handful in the world to use cutting edge technology and was the first of its kind. The Wave is the fruit of the ambitions of Nick Hounsfield, a pioneering British entrepreneur who wanted to build a unique business that had a positive social impact, with improving health and wellbeing for surfers and non-surfers alike baked in. For this special bonus interview episode of the This is Money podcast, Simon Lambert visited The Wave to meet Nick, be shown around and hear the story of his more than decade-long journey to get waves breaking and people riding them. It's a fascinating tale, not least because Nick didn't come from a background in property or business, but was an osteopath, who started with £500 in his bank account and managed to raise £27million to build his dream. He tells Simon about the challenge of doing that when potential investors thought it was a great idea but were reluctant to take the risk on it, with a theme of ‘we'll back the second one, but not the first one' coming through. Eventually Nick and his business partners got traction in raising the funds to get the Wave off the ground, but he says it was important to find the right people to back it: those who bought into the social impact element as well as making money. ‘We talk about profits with purpose', says Nick. ‘But generally, I think across the finance industry, it seems that people are understanding how important it is to be future facing - from a profit perspective but also looking after people and the planet at the same time and how important that is in building a brand and building a business.' He adds: ‘Right at the beginning we very much set out our stall that we were going to be environmentally conscious and socially conscious, but also be profit making.' But Nick's rollercoaster ride hasn't just been about getting a hugely ambitious business off the ground, he also faced a double whammy of unexpected events as it finally opened its doors. The Wave started welcoming surfers in late 2019 but shortly afterwards Covid and lockdowns struck throwing plans into disarray. Yet Nick was already facing his own personal challenge, as he had suffered a stroke in February 2020, which left him in hospital for weeks and then needing six to nine months of rehabilitation at home through the disconcerting times of the first Covid lockdown. Nick tells the story of how he found himself working alone in the water at The Wave, while it was shut during lockdown, and benefitting himself from the impact of ‘blue health': the idea that spending time in or near water is good for people, which is a cornerstone of his business dream. The Wave has flourished since it was allowed to open again during the Covid lockdowns and there are now plans for more facilities in the UK, including one in north London's Lee Valley, close to the Olympic water sports facilities. Nick shares more details on those plans, explains more about how The Wave works and what visiting surfers can expect and need to know – and at the end of the podcast Simon – a self-described painfully average on-and-off surfer – explains what it was like to ride the waves.
Host John Gregory @gregiej chats live from Great Britain canoe slalom team selection at Lee Valley with GB Performance Director, Mark Ratcliffe and Head of Performance and Chair of the International panel, Andy Maddock, Adam Burgess, Olympic silver medallist Mallory Franklin, 2016 Rio Olympic Champion Joe Clarke MBE, and Kimberley Woods.

Today on the Podcast we have Vic Tesolin of Vic Tesolin Woodworks! Vic has been making furniture for a number of years, he studied at Rosewood studio in Ontario, Canada, where he focused on furniture design and making while building furniture. However, Vic found it was very difficult to make a living making the type of high-end furniture that he was making originally. Vic has always had jobs that support his woodworking. He was the editor of Canadian woodworking magazine, and also worked for the research and development department at Veritas for Lee Valley for about 10 years. This all afforded Vic the ability to travel all over the world and meet woodworkers from different walks of life, which he describes as pretty fantastic! Eventually he decided it was time to be his own boss and do his own thing. Vic describes it as something that sort of just happened. In addition to his woodworking business he also has written two books besides his publication writing. “This is it, this is what I do.” Vic says he's always felt extremely fortunate to have gotten the education that he did. His goal has always been to pass on knowledge and information, however he can. Whether those are two hour webinars, or private teaching, that's what he's all about. Vic just wants to get the information out there. He wants people woodworking. He wants people working with their hands. I mean, this pandemic has showed us that, you know, people are loving working with their hands, because, The business started as a side hustle, as Vic suspects a lot of businesses do, because it takes a lot of guts to just say, “Okay, to heck with this paycheck, I'm not using that anymore.” So Vic did it as a side hustle and started by writing articles for magazines, and then he got asked by a publisher to write a book, and then another book. Once you start, once you get published, then people start seeking you out for classes and other things Vic says. Vic has taught in Europe, England, Australia, China, and his life and business partner Andrea takes care of the things that Vic's not good at. Andrea is really good at marketing, and she's excellent at the customer service aspect of it. Vic notes that he is fortunate that they work really well together. The Books and The Marketing Corner Join us for this awesome podcast where we discuss mailers, Vic's two books, minimalist woodworking and Tik Tok!

Dusk. The gates of the Lee Valley Park are shut. The people are gone. The miles of footpaths are empty, save for crossing ducks. Beside Norman's Pond, hidden in the scrub, the dark bush crickets have begun. Gulls cry out. On tepid summer water, swans are swimming, slow under the gathering shadows, drippling the mirror-still surface for food. Their calls bounce and echo across the empty lake. Melding with the sound of passing trains. With the tidal flow of the A10, London's artery into rural Hertfordshire. Nightfall. The waterbirds are asleep. The shadows have gone. The lake is inky black. But hooting the commencement of real dark, of the real night, hear, the first owls. Through the scrub, the crickets have sharpened their messages. And at the very edge of the water, something very small scratches at something. Delicately, with the patience of an invisible thing. Dead of night. Emerging like a squeaky toy jumping through carpets of leaves, a creature on the run, or on the hop. It comes, and goes, right past the microphones dissolving into wherever. Owls hoot in the high treetops opposite, and some waterbirds have woken up again, now the air has cooled. It's shifted. Now there's a wind. The A10 sounds to the right of the horizon, and the undulating hum of the power station beyond the bird hide can easily be heard. A floating sine wave, the subtle underflow of our civilisation. Occasionally things splash into the water, and call out over the lake. Dry hanging leaves rustle in sympathy with the passing breezes. This is peace in the Lee Valley. Edgeland peace. A peace formed out of calm rather than absence. Tranquillity, not from being away from human things, but beside them when they are at ease.
TOP Moment | Mistrovství světa ve vodním slalomu v roce 2015, olympijský kanál Lee Valley u Londýna. Česká hlídka kajakářek ve složení Kateřina Kudějová, Veronika Vojtová a Štěpánka Hilgertová si jede pro zlaté medaile. Zvláštní pozornost si přitom zaaslouží zejména poslední jmenovaná. Štěpánka Hilgertová totiž v tomto roce oslavila už 47. narozeniny. Celých 26 let po své první medaili ze světového šampionátu tím završuje svou naprosto unikátní kariéru, kterou vyšperkovala dvěma zlatými olympijskými medailemi.
Lee Valley is known not just for their reliable and innovative products, but for how they do business. Founder Leonard Lee's son Robin talks ethical capitalism, the value of manual work, and how a medical tool ended up in kitchens across the country.

It is 3am. At the water's edge, the shadows are thick. A single star reflects in the ink black water, bobbed by passing ripples. The wide-open waterscape is alive with the sound of birds, swimming and calling, drippling the surface of the water for food, cleaning their wings, landing and taking off. Something creeps through the foliage nearby, perhaps a swan in search of a place to settle. The air's still balmy from the hot day before. Soft breezes come and go, rustling the leaves of the over-hanging trees. In woodland across the lake, muntjacs invisibly call to each other, their dog-like barks carrying easily over the water. Miles beyond, undulating waves of traffic flow along the A10, sounding sometimes like distant wind. This recording was made in July. Microphones were hidden in a tree on the edge of the lake and left to record all night. The location was hidden away from the path, tucked down a shallow bank behind dense trees, nettles and brambles. A special spot known only to birds, insects and mammals.
The Lee Valley reservoir chain comprises thirteen lakes that separate the London Boroughs of Haringey and Enfield to the west from Waltham Forest and Essex in the east. The area is made up of marshes and parkland, rich in wildlife, including woodland and water birds. This recording is of the dawn chorus around 5am when nobody is around. It was captured by a pair of microphones looking out over the lake from a tree that overhangs the water's edge in the Fishers Green Nature Reserve. It starts gently, water birds dabbling around for food, and builds up over 40 minutes to swirling raucous gulls and flapping flocks of geese taking off and landing, against a backdrop of woodland birds from the surrounding area, and the sound of distant traffic on the A10. It's a surcluded spot on the soily bank, almost close enough to dip your feet in, hidden under trees, an ideal position to listen to life on the lake.

Every town has that one spooky abandoned building, the one that seems to naturally gather scary stories and urban legends. On the west side of Cork City, the great Victorian redbrick section of the Our Lady's complex, St Kevin's, has a real-life history of scandal and tragedy. In this episode, Cian takes a trip to the empty, fire-scarred structure that still stands above the Lee Valley onto the city. We'll discuss the Victorian origins of the complex, the scandals that went on inside, and the reasons we're drawn to places of tragedy.

There are two parts to every company: the mechanics and the soul. How does a leader achieve both in a time of retail disruption? Since joining Lee Valley Tools at the age of 22, Jason Tassé has embarked on an experience and inspiring journey of growth and leadership, recently becoming the COO of the celebrated Canadian business. From detailing his definition of leadership to insightful reflections about management succession at Lee Valley – which was established in 1978 – Jason's comprehensive discussion with Gair Maxwell provides an inspiring look at the mindset of a leader who was tasked with guiding the future of one Canada's most iconic catalog companies.
There are many people who are reaching out in their own way during this current crisis caused by the spread of covid-19. Lee Valley has made project resources available to keep your kids (and your spouse sane), while Bad-Axe Toolworks is another example of a great woodworking company that is reaching out with a very special covid-19 special and resources to download. However, one of the big hearted gestures I wanted to highlight is Vic Tesolin's offer to make a chapter of his book available to anyone who wanted to stay at home and beat the boredom. Join me as we talk a bit about his book, and what he's up too.

I’m only taking ⅛” deep passes. Not sure what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Douglas. 2) Love the show. My hobbiest shop is a 24x30 garage and I’m looking to upgrade the dust collection. I initially looked at a big 3HP dust collector and plumbing the whole shop with 4” and 6” ducting. Now I’m looking at getting 2-3 Grizzly G0785 Or Rockler wall mount units and keeping each near 1-2 machines and not running expensive and cumbersome duct work all over my shop. It seems like for about $1200 I could have a pretty effective setup by going this way instead of 1 big dust collector. Am I missing something? Do you see any disadvantages of going with multiple smaller units mounted close to my machines? - Ron Sean 1) Hey guys I’ve got a workbench vise question. I’m in the process of building a new workbench and am ready to mount a front vise. I have an old record style vise that I was going to use and mount to the apron leaving it proud. However everyone I see now mounts there vise inset using the bench apron as the rear jaws of the vise. Granted these are all quick release Lee Valley style vises. Would you mount the vise proud or inset the vise? I found some info from Paul Sellers in favor of mounting a vise proud to avoid pinching fingers. But haven’t found any info on people using vises that are flush to the apron of the bench. Btw this isn’t my end all be all beautiful shaker/rubo bench. It will probably last 5-7 years before I replace it. Thanks Jesse Beechland Furniture - 2) I am a very green woodworker. I am building a small side/end table. I'll attach the top to the aprons and allow for wood movement. I want to add a shelf at about a third of the length from the top to the floor. I thought about attaching it to the legs. How would you guys do it? Thanks for the great podcast. - Omer Huy 1) Thank you all for devoting such time to this podcast. I am a new woodworker and I am learning so much in every episode. I am writing with a question about jointing and spring joints. I refurbished an old Atlas 6000 6 inch jointer. It's a beast and I think I did a pretty good job getting everything aligned -- very sharp new blades at the right height. But when I edge-joint longer boards (60" -- the outfeed table of the jointer is only about 26"), I do get a very small, wide arch (crook or frown face) on the jointed edge. When I put two jointed boards edge to edge to make a panel, there is a small (1/32-1/16") gap in the center, but the ends of the board are flush. I lamented this to a fellow woodworker and he told me not to worry -- that it's a best practice to make a "spring joint' by leaving such a gap and closing it up via clamps during a glue-up. So my question is: is my friend right -- should I just go with a spring joint? And if he's not right, how can I calibrate my jointer so I get a straighter edge? - Adam Potthast 2) I'm going to be building a run of side chairs in the near future, and am in the design phase. My question is about the necessity of lower stretchers for durability. I'd like these chairs to last for decades (at least), and my kids/nephews are maniacs. Do lower stretchers on a side chair add measurable strength, or are the mortise/tenon joints for the seat aprons sufficient on their own? I love your podcast. Thanks very much. - Andrew
London 2012 Olympic gold medal winner and climate change campaigner Etienne Stott spends time with GB paddlers Joe Clarke MBE and Ryan Westley.Joe and Ryan are passionate paddlers but they are also keen anglers and they give their take on some of the conflicts between the two sports.They both love the outdoors but spend summers dashing between training and the fishing lake. They tell Etienne about their love of angling and there are plenty of stories of their adventures trying to catch fish and the special baits they use.Joe Clarke won gold in K1 canoe slalom at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Like Etienne he started canoeing with the Scouts and developed a love of the sport. The pair walk around the Lee Valley Slalom course and talk about their gold medal winning moments. And in the centre’s reception they see both their Olympic winning canoes hanging from the ceiling.Ryan Westley started as a recreational paddler at the age of 3. He began on flat water on the River Axe in Somerset and then in the sea. When the family moved to Yorkshire he got into slalom and made his international debut in 2009. His career highlights include winning a World Championship bronze medal at Lee Valley in 2015 and taking gold at the European Championships C1 in 2018.Joe Clarke says he feels it’s sad that there is some conflict between fishing and paddling and calls for respect on both sides. Ryan Westley believes it’s about each side conceding a little to get along better. Etienne Stott feels the natural resources should be shared. The trio talk candidly about the issues and what can be done.If you want to find out more about British Canoeing’s Clear Access, Clear Waters Environmental Charter you can find it onwww.britishcanoeing.org.ukEtienne Stott is on twitter at@etiennestottAnd you want to follow Joe Clarke and Ryan Westley on social media@joeclarkek1 (twitter and instagram)@ryan_westley (twitter)@Wrestler (instagram)

Today's "Try it Tuesday" is the Veritas Jointer Fence. A great accessory for the hand plane user to help get nice square edges on your stock. Usable with almost all of the bench planes, it attaches to the body via two, strong rare earth magnets. Once attached to a plane, making square edges is a breeze and easily repeatable. Saving you time and of course aggravation when squaring up a stock's edge. I've used mine for years now and have never had a problem with it. The model featured in today's show is the regular model, but there is a version for low-angle planes too. If you're interested in ordering one for your shop, visit Highland Woodworking or Lee Valley. Please remember, every purchase you make helps to support the show! Tell them Matt's Basement Workshop sent you.
Regardless of how many times I've been to Woodworking in America the one place that gets all my attention, and apparently that of the vast majority of show visiters, is the Marketplace. Where else will you find some of the most unique tool makers in the woodworking world all under one roof? Not only can you get your hands on these tools, but more importantly you have an unique opportunity to talk with the tool makers themselves. Ever wonder about having customized tools made? Have questions about the design or function of a tool? Or just want to play with some really cool tools? The Woodworking in America marketplace is the perfect place to do all of that and more. It's truly the woodworker's candy store. But if you've visited this year or in previous years you also know there's more to the marketplace than tools and supplies. There's great freebie demonstrations from the likes of Roy Underhill and Adam Cherubini to name a few. Along with drawings for amazing door-prizes, opportunities to meet with television personalities like Scott Philips and Tommy McDonald. And for the really daring, there's the Hand Tool Olympics. Compete against yourself or a friend or two to see who can have the best results with a basic set of hand tools to create basic joinery and complete typical workshop tasks.

Where can you find a hill that looks like an Inca monument but which is in fact an old nitroglycerin factory? The answer can be found in the Lee Valley, a green and watery wedge that grows and flows from Hertfordshire and Essex through northeast London to The River Thames. Occupying a liminal space between rural countryside and the industrial, the Lee Valley presents a surprising landscape - where nature has come back reclaim the monuments of an industrial past. Helen Mark travels down the Lee Valley and its waterways to explore how for centuries it was a crucial thriving hub of industry before falling into decline until more recently experiencing regeneration of its natural spaces. She visits the Royal Gunpowder Mills, Kings Weir Cottage, Glasshouses, The Waterworks and the Lee Navigation to meet people who work on and live by the Lee Valley's historical waterways; people like Barbara the wife of one of the navigation's last weir-keepers. Presenter: Helen Mark Producer: Melanie Brown.
Avoiding rounding over with a random orbit sander, splines or biscuits as a glue-up aide, a bit of marquetry on a box, and a WIA wrap-up with a discussion of Lee Valley's new custom planes.
I'm adding permanent handles to all my files and rasps and thought I would do them on the pole lathe. This is a great way to use up some scrap and the positive registration of a fixe handle actually makes a rasp easier to use. I used brass ferrules I bought at Lee Valley for a few pennies and a piece of Teak that was 1.5" round and 7" long. If using a pole lathe the piece needs to be a bit longer so you have a place to run the drive cord. The music in todays episode is thanks to Underhill Rose and is called "Helpless Wanderer".

Just in case you've been an even more amazing father than you already are and your family are looking for the perfect gift to remind you how much they really appreciate all you do...like we don't know already.

All of these items are available through my sponsor Highland Woodworking, but you could easily find similar gifts at Woodcraft, Lee Valley or even on Amazon.com. ; Just to help make it easy for everyone I'll have links in the show notes for all these items and to the various retailers where you can find them.
Today's "Try it Tuesday" is the Veritas Jointer Fence. A great accessory for the hand plane user to help get nice square edges on your stock. Usable with almost all of the bench planes, it attaches to the body via two, strong rare earth magnets. Once attached to a plane, making square edges is a breeze and easily repeatable. Saving you time and of course aggravation when squaring up a stock's edge. I've used mine for years now and have never had a problem with it. The model featured in today's show is the regular model, but there is a version for low-angle planes too. If you're interested in ordering one for your shop, visit Highland Woodworking or Lee Valley. Please remember, every purchase you make helps to support the show!
