What are some non-tool, non-woodworking-related "things" that make your time in the shop more enjoyable or productive? For example, for me, it might be my Sirius XM or Amazon Music subscriptions, pot, or the cage I keep my children in. Huy, in your old shop, maybe your mini-split. Do you have anything like that? If you say "blue tape" Mike Pekovich will eat your soul. Tom 2) I'm cutting a 7x5” opening into the countertop of a washer/dryer surround made of 3/4” walnut plywood, in order to access the water shut off if ever needed. Anyways, I'd ultimately like to figure out a way to cut the opening and reuse the off-cut piece as the new “lid” for the opening. I have a 1/8” spiral trim bit for my router and thought to plunge it down to begin the cut… then follow the template I made. I feel like there not a lot of room for error here… any suggestions for cutting openings in order to grain match and reuse the off-cut piece? Thanks! Chris     Guy 1) Hey guys, Figured I'd ask your opinion on shop ceiling heights.  I've been planning on building a new detached shop/garage next year.  My original design is a shed roof with an interior height of  12' on the high side and 9' on the low side.  But recently I've been thinking  maybe a gable roof with a dormer would be nice. Which could make room for a loft however the ceiling height would end  up around 9' or 10'. Other than stacking lumber vertically, I don't see the advantage of 12' ceilings. Side note, I was planning on running some dust collection through the slab floor. Thanks as always, Jesse Beechland Furniture 2) I usually build cabinets with doors and drawers overlapping the face frame. However I would like to inset the drawers on a pair of Shaker style side tables that I am building. How much gap (1/16", 1/8" should I plan for between the drawers and face frame. Drawer face is just under 6" wide. I live in the Intermountain West and it remains pretty dry all year. After I get the position set, any tips to temporarily hold drawer faces in position on the drawers until I can install screws from the inside? Wild Horse Woodworking 3) I've gotten a couple requests from family members wanting some items with the "modern farmhouse" look - specifically rough-sawn boards for some of the 'show' faces.  Given that most of the tools in my shop were purchased with the intention of making wood nice and smooth and square... I was wondering if you have any tips/tricks for intentionally creating a rough-sawn look on boards. Thanks, Monte

Jacob King does incredible custom wood work. We chat about his history as a musician, web + e-learning designer, recording studio owner and yoga instructor. We hear about his evolution from doing home renos to custom woodwork & furniture. He schools us on the term for the absurd urge we’ve all had to hurl ourselves off a balcony, and how that urge translates to a woodworking shop with deadly machines (“The Call Of The Void”). He also tells us why he hates sanding and uses a hand plane instead to save time. He explains how his wife helped him overcome perfectionism and reveals that he doesn’t consider his pieces finished until they’re actually being used in a person’s home and begin to get dings, dents & scratches. “I will sit down with the client and I will build something that suits their taste. I need to have some lengthy discussions about what's your aesthetic? What do you like? Okay, so now we know what you like. What kind of functionality do you need in it? And then how can I take what you like visually, what you need functionally and incorporate that into something that I can make for you that you're gonna be happy with and love looking at for the rest of your life and maybe I'll just take that and let it go. There's a big part of building something and then just letting it go and this is gonna go back to Mike Pekovich again. He's the last person I heard say it: When you get the final coat of finish on it and you drop it off with a client or hang it on the wall or set it in your living room, the piece of furniture isn't finished yet. It's not until it starts getting the dings and the scrapes and the scratches and the dents and developing the patina. That is when the piece of furniture starts to get finished because it's getting used and loved.”--- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://bit.ly/aswKO-FI---JACOB KING WEB: https://jacobking.ca IG: https://www.instagram.com/aplannedescape LINKS TO PIECES POPLAR CROTCH TABLE: https://www.instagram.com/p/CASn1d7D9Od/*for sale* contact: mailto:jacob@jacobking.ca GUITAR: https://www.instagram.com/p/Btn4I62AA-v PEN: https://www.instagram.com/p/CABgJLoDne6 PURPLE BOX: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7vtQYpgZkD SMALL BRASS & WOOD HAMMER: https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qNzsBASzP--- AND SOMETIMES ...
