We thought it would be an excellent opportunity to look back at 2024—our favorite shop upgrades, biggest projects, and lessons learned—and then peek ahead at what's in store for 2025.

A mechanic once said, "Don't put it down—put it away." That mindset has helped keep tools in their proper places, eliminating the frustration of searching for misplaced items. - Brian's Upgrade: A high-quality toolbox (not just a basic Harbor Freight or Home Depot option) made a massive difference. A well-organized toolbox reflects a well-organized workflow. - Greg's Upgrade: Adding Husky cabinets under his table saw extension improved storage and accessibility. The Incra Miter Gauge Brian recommended the Incra Miter Gauge, and it quickly became one of Greg's most-used tools in 2024. - Why It's Great: - Eliminates play in the miter slot for precise, repeatable cuts. - Features an integrated stop block system (similar to high-end aftermarket options). - Fine-adjustment capabilities make it perfect for exact angles. Greg admits he was skeptical at first, preferring crosscut sleds, but after a year of use, he hasn't touched his sled since. The Black Box Vacuum Pump for CNC Workholding Greg's Black Box vacuum pump transformed his CNC workflow. - The Problem: Workholding on a CNC can be a nightmare—tabs, screws, and clamps often lead to failed cuts. - The Solution: The vacuum pump holds sheets firmly in place, reducing material waste and improving efficiency. - Success rate went from ~75% to 98%. - Added automation: The CNC now turns the pump on/off automatically via relay control. The Track Saw Revolution Greg was a longtime skeptic of track saws, preferring a circular saw and straightedge. But after breaking down hundreds of sheets of MDF, he caved and bought a Ridgid cordless track saw. - Why It Won Him Over: - Faster, more accurate breakdown of sheet goods. - Paired with an MFT-style workbench (from Fred Sexton of Bristol Artisan Co.) and Bora Speed Horses, creating a portable, efficient cutting station. - No more wrestling full sheets—everything gets broken down outside before entering the shop. The Festool Debate Brian and Greg had a fun back-and-forth about Festool. - Pros: - Industry-leading dust collection (great for job sites and clean shops). - The Domino joiner is a game-changer for furniture makers. - Cons: - High price tag. - Some tools may not justify the cost for hobbyists or those who don't need ultra-portability. Packout Systems & Tool Storage Both Brian and Greg explored different modular storage systems (Milwaukee Packout, Klein, etc.). - Greg's Pick: Klein Tool Cases—expensive but rugged, with clear lids and customizable bins. - Brian's Experience: Packout systems are great for contractors but may be overkill for shop-only use. Harbor Freight's Improvement Greg noted that Harbor Freight's quality has significantly improved over the years. - Icon Tools Line: Their ratcheting wrenches and socket sets now rival mid-tier brands like Husky and Craftsman. - Toolboxes: No longer the flimsy junk of the past—now a solid budget option.    Notable Projects from 2024 Brian's Big Builds - Las Vegas Casino Project: A massive, high-profile installation that pushed his team's limits. - Red Rocks Amphitheater Work: A challenging but rewarding project (technically late 2023, but close enough!). Lesson Learned: Installation is just as critical as fabrication. Even the best-built pieces can fail if not installed correctly. Greg's Product Expansion When a competitor in the guitar-making jigs and tools space went out of business, Greg saw an opportunity. - Redesigned & Released Over 20 New Products, including: - Side benders (for shaping guitar sides). - Outside molds & cutaway forms (previously unavailable). - Mortise & tenon jigs (V3 design, improved from older versions). - Backward Compatibility: Ensured his new tools worked with older systems, earning gratitude from customers.   Looking Ahead to 2025 Greg's Goals: Build His First Commissioned Guitar – Learning from luthier Robbie O'Brien to refine construction techniques. Expand Skyscraper Guitars – Transition from a one-man operation to a scalable business with employees. Finish the Porsche 356 Project – After a busy 2024, he's eager to get back to this passion build.   Brian's Plans: - Grow His YouTube Presence – Shifting focus to more educational content for aspiring woodworkers. - Streamline Production – Finding ways to balance custom work with repeatable, profitable projects.  Final Thoughts 2024 was a year of tool upgrades, shop efficiency, and big projects. For 2025, the focus shifts to growth, refinement, and new challenges.   What were your biggest shop upgrades or projects in 2024? What are you looking forward to in 2025? Let us know in the comments!

Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/woodshoplife Guys Questions: Hello fellas. I greatly appreciate your show, as its the only one that I haven't gotten tired of over the years. I'm making a chimney cupboard for the most difficult of clients – my wife. She really dislikes, frame and panel doors and wanted solid doors. So there will be two 40 inch high by 20 inch wide – full overlay doors. I'm using beautiful air dryer sinker Cypress for the entire piece. I've convinced her that big slabs of solid wood doors would potentially bow or twist overtime, so I have developed an idea of making each door like this - I've sourced a 26 inch wide 8 foot board. after milling and cutting to 44 inch pieces, I cut the middle out to be the panel and will use the adjoining pieces for the rail and styles. The panel will be tongue and grooved to sit flush with the front with the styles - with an 1/8 inch gap. Therefore, it will be a frame and panel door, but out of one piece of wood that looks solid. My question is relating to the inside panel and its thickness. It seems if I leave it thicker (currently 5/8”) it will be more prone to twisting the frame, where if I bring it down thinner like 3/8”, it may be more prone to splitting. Please let me know your thoughts . Thank you so much. Mike Sibley Hi Gents. Love the show. I've invested in a 3 stage sprayer and have been trying it out, getting the hang of it. Any General advice to a new sprayer user? Also, while a perfect coat is the goal, would it be better to put down too much, or too little of 'sprayables'? It seems too little is much easier to fix. Usually just add another coat after it's dried. Thanks for the great show! Mark Bett Brian's Questions: Guy's, I love the podcast and listen often but haven't caught completely up yet. What is a good method of making mortise and tenon jointery with a router only? I've got a Bosch 1/2” router and intent to buy a router table too. I've seen various jigs on the market but was wondering what the best option is for the money having only a router, and small DEWALT 8.5” lunchbox table saw. I intend to build smaller household furniture such as side tables, nightstands and a dresser. Thanks for the advice, love the show, Dave Huffman I would love to get a subscription to a woodworking magazine for my fiance for Christmas. He's a big fan of your podcast. You have mentioned one before but now I can't find it. What are your suggestions? - Lauren Zontini Huy's Questions I have a Dewalt 733 planer and the blades are starting to go dull. I saw online where I could build a jig out of a 2x4 by cutting 2 slots at 42 degrees angles and placing my blades inside the slots. You would then run the blades over a sharpening stone to give it a new edge. Is this a good method for sharpening my blade or should I be looking for another method. Keep making this podcast and I am sure that all of us out here listening will continue to tune in and keep asking questions. Happy Holidays to all of you Cory Sorry if this is a repeat only mostly caught up. The wife wants a painted double dresser. I dislike painted furniture and prefer to work with maple or walnut but we compromised… so the wife's getting a painted double dresser. I intend to use plywood since it's a paint grade project but don't have much experience with it. What's a good construction method for plywood? I've got a small table saw, 1/2” router, kreg jig and hand tools. Can I get way with using the kreg jig and but joints for carcass construction? How about plywood drawers? I intend to use latex paint, should I add a top coat over it? Many Thanks, love the podcast Dave Huffman

In this episode, Joshua and Mike don their proverbial tool belts and discuss a restoration project that will occupy the bulk of their focus in 2022 – reconstructing an 1810 New England Cape house. Starting at the beginning, before Mortise & Tenon Magazine even existed, they recount the perilous task of deconstructing the building, raccoon droppings and all. They lay out a plan for restoring and modifying the old frame to meet the needs of a modern family, while maintaining the integrity and history so palpable in this old house.

Another Work is Possible is a very different take on how the task of building a structure can be completed. With the help of Charpentiers Sans Frontieres (CSF) - the folk at Mortise and Tenon set about constructing a new Blacksmith shop. Part philosophy, part construction log, part beautiful coffee table book - this book documents both the steps and ethos behind this project.

If you left Chicago on a train going south traveling a speed the equivalence to the speed of a flaming centaur and at the same time you opened a transport business in the fictitious town of Mortise, invested most of your earnings into huckabees then waited 14 years for the huckabee to be recognized as the main global currency. How many times would your train stop? Easy as 3.14 when you subtract laundry mat storytelling and multiply it with the basement humor.....with a funny femur.

In this podcast episode, Mike and Joshua discussing the value of batch production as they reflect on their recent experience building Boxed Sets for Issues 1-10. They talk about some of the tradeoffs of working on multiples but primarily focus on the positive benefits that a woodworker gains in the experience. They also provide numerous tips derived from their experience working on this project. Lastly, they discuss the diverging views of John Ruskin and David Pye on the issue of division of labor, enjoyment in work, and the value of the workman as being the designer. They discuss how these two men agreed on several important points, which have deeply influenced the vision of Mortise & Tenon. Also, Mike sings some Whitney Houston.

Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/woodshoplife Guys Questions: 1) Hey guys keep up the good work on the podcast. My question is regarding grain fillers. Have you ever used these on open grain species such as oak to get a smooth finish? I have an oak bar table I’m in the process of making and was contemplating using this after a waterbased dye and before a finish coat of waterlox.Thanks, Jesse 2) I find the vacuum bag to be more than just a clamp for veneer. I want one and would like to know what I should be looking for when considering a purchase. -sergeantmaker Seans Questions: 1) How much scrap is too much? I like to hold onto smaller pieces I can make into wedges, bow ties, etc....but when is enough truly enough? Are there certain pieces you’ll keep, more rare species of wood? Or is it straight to the kindling pile? Winter wolf woodworking 2) Good morning Guy, Huy, and Sean. I had a question on tool brands. I get asked all the time from my peers in the community what brand of tool is better than another. My general answer to all of them is usually the same every time. Within the budget you’re looking to spend there are usually a few different brands. Within those price points, all of these tools are going to perform basically at the same level and have the same features. The best thing you can do is go put your hands on it, feel the tool, see how it works and if it’s a good fit for you. My question to you all is when you are looking for a new tool no matter hand tool or power tool is a particular brand one of the first things you look for or do you go after that budget point versus quality and functionality? Thank you for your time and please keep up the absolutely wonderful work y’all are doing on the podcast and your shops! Thanks,Brent JarvisClean Cut Woodworking Huys Questions: 1)  I have a couple questions about lumber storage. This would be for dried lumber. Do you store it horizontally with stickers, horizontal without stickers, or can you store it vertical? For longer lumber, it may be more efficient to store it vertically. What do you guys do? David 2) I was wondering if any of you use specialty chisels in your work. Fishtail or skew chisels for example. Do you have multiple sets? Mortise, dovetail, paring, etc. Keep up the good work.

Yup, this is my 100th episode.  Bob Menard from the New England Blacksmiths just asked me the other day did you envision the 100th when you started?  The answer is NO Way! The reason I started this podcast 3 years ago was to help create a tighter knit blacksmith community around the world, to aid and encourage forging new connections by having casual conversations every week so we can learn a little something about our peers.  I thought I would talk about a few of the connections I’ve made over the past 3 years and about some of the connections that a few listeners have made by listening to the podcast.  Then I’ll jump right into another JayBurn Journal (an article written by Jay Burnham Kidwell) about different kinds of forging connections such as riveting, hot metal wrapping, mortise and tenon and such.   Summary: Hot Connections Forge Welding Arc Welding MIG Welding Tig Welding Oxy/acetelyne, oxy/propane gas welding Oxy/acetelyne, oxy/propane gas brazing and soldering Forge brazing Forge soldering Mortise and Tenon Hot Rivets   Cold Connections are: Copper rivets Collars and wraps Claydon Connections Tension connections Nuts and bolts Articulated connections Socket bearing connections   Collaring – to determine the length of the collar material: measure around the pieces to be collared plus 2 ½ times the thickness of the collar material.  This will be the cut length before beveling the ends.   Square Tenons – Upset the end of the bar a ½”, then do another upset just under the first upset, use a side set or spring fuller to establish the tenon and the shoulder. Then draw out the tenon, even up the shoulder edges with a monkey tool and check fir size and fit with the mortise.  The tenon should extend about 1 ½ times the diameter of the tenon through the mortise hole. Pass- through connections – using a slitting chisel and a swage block that is a little bigger than the pass through stock.   Stuart Hill’s connection using a square tube that is twice the thickness of the pieces to be joined.   Arno Muller’s corner connection – forge a square corner with an upset at the 90 degree bend and then forge out a tongue from the outside corner.  Repeat this with another piece of square stock and join the two tongues in an opposite fashion.   Oval Rivets by Mark Aspery – from his Volume III book titled, “Mastering the Fundamentals of Traditional Joinery” available at www.MarkAspery.com.

This is the first of my more casual, quick tip show.  Filmed entirely on my iphone and in real time I hope to capture more of the little tips and tricks that happen every day in the work shop that don't get much attention.  Today I'm showing a quick way to expand a mortise wall with great accuracy.

The process for working in thin stock is not much different but you need to be more delicate and most of the time use fewer tools and take smaller bites.  Here I chop out a 3/16" deep mortise that is kinda half dado too.  Using a chisel bevel down is a great technique to master and this video shows some pointers.

I decided to see if I could saw through mortises using a keyhole saw.

The drawbore mortise & tenon joint is one of the strongest known to woodworkers. Making your own dowels with a dowel plate just adds to the fun and takes this powerful technique to the next level.
