Confira no Morning Show desta segunda-feira (25): Está prevista para esta segunda-feira (25), a votação na Câmara dos Deputados da Proposta de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) que prevê o fim da escala 6x1, sem redução salarial. Detalhes como o período de transição ainda são pontos de discussão entre os deputados. O presidente Lula (PT) e o presidente da câmara, Hugo Motta (Republicanos), se encontram nesta segunda-feira (25) no Palácio da Alvorada para discutir detalhes da PEC que prevê o fim da escala 6x1. O governo defende a mudança imediata na jornada de trabalho, enquanto a oposição que um período de transição que pode chegar a até 10 anos. A nova defesa de Daniel Vorcaro tenta fortalecer a delação do ex-banqueiro junto ao Supremo Tribunal Federal. Na semana passada a Polícia Federal rejeitou a proposta de colaboração ao entender que Vorcaro não falou tudo que sabia. Condenado pelo assassinato da advogada Mércia Nakashima, o ex-policial militar e ex-advogado Mizael Bispo de Souza lançou um livro em que volta a negar participação no crime ocorrido há 16 anos na Grande São Paulo. No texto, ele afirma que as autoridades “não foram atrás do autor do crime”. Mércia desapareceu em maio de 2010 após sair da casa da avó, em Guarulhos. O carro foi encontrado semanas depois submerso em uma represa em Nazaré Paulista, onde também foi localizado o corpo da vítima. Segundo as investigações, Mércia foi atraída pelo ex-namorado, baleada e morreu afogada após o veículo ser lançado na água. A motivação do crime teria sido a não aceitação do fim do relacionamento por parte de Mizael. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Flávio Dino, negou neste domingo (24) o pedido de aplicação de medidas cautelares alternativas à prisão da influenciadora Deolane Bezerra, como o uso de tornozeleira eletrônica ou prisão domiciliar. O ministro alegou que o pedido da defesa ainda deve passar por outras instâncias antes de chegar ao Supremo, que não vê ilegalidade na prisão preventiva de Deolane e afirmou que o Tribunal “não deve ser usado como atalho para contestar decisões”. A justiça americana destravou um processo da Trump Media, empresa responsável pelo app de Donald Trump “Truth Social” e da plataforma Rubble, contra o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Alexandre de Moraes. A alegação é de que Moraes censurou as plataformas no Brasil. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), irá se reunir com a cúpula do Partido Liberal para definir o candidato ao governo de Minas Gerais. O PL deve procurar um candidato que não seja Mateus Simões (PSD), atual governador e ex-vice de Romeu Zema (NOVO). O papa Leão XIV pediu que a humanidade lute contra o “domínio” da inteligência artificial (IA) em sua primeira encíclica, publicada nesta segunda-feira (25). No documento que também denuncia a “desumanização” e o conceito de “guerra justa”, Leão XIV afirmou que “a IA deve servir à humanidade e não ao poder de poucos”. O presidente Lula (PT) iniciou, nesta segunda-feira (25), um tratamento de radioterapia preventiva no couro cabeludo no Hospital Sírio-Libanês, em Brasília. O procedimento é um complemento à cirurgia de retirada de uma lesão basocelular, realizada em 24 de abril. De acordo com apuração da Jovem Pan, o cronograma prevê 15 sessões ao longo das próximas três semanas. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Flávio Dino negou o pedido de encontro feito pelo deputado federal Mário Frias (PL). Frias havia sido intimado por Dino para prestar contas sobre o repasse de emendas, supostamente para o filme “Dark Horse”. O livro “Voz, Memórias e Versos”, escrito por Patrick Santos e Patricia Castellon conta a história do lendário narrador esportivo da Pan, Joseval Peixoto, voz histórica do tricampeonato do Brasil na Copa do Mundo de 1970. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Jay Nakashima, President at eHealth Exchange, discusses in this video interview some recent hot developments in health data exchange, and how he expects it to expand in the future.HHS's TEFCA project has been in force for some time, while the CMS-Aligned Network is new and has created confusion in the industry about the relatinship between them (Note: Steven Posnack has a great article that works to clear this up). eHealth Exchange is a designated QHIN under TEFCA and plans to implement the criteria necessary to become a CMS-Aligned Network as well. Nakashima recommends that anyone who has started to work with TEFCA continue to do so.He calls TEFCA "prescriptive" and thinks that more varied options will become available.Learn more about eHealth Exchange: https://ehealthexchange.org/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

The Nakashima Foundation for Peace maintains the architecture and furniture collection which American-Japanese woodworker and architect George Nakashima created and built in New Hope, Pennsylvania. It is one of the most personal and memorable places I have ever visited: apowerful representation of Nakashima's personal and design vision and of his life story.Now that the foundation has a special mission—to preserve the family home, a National Historic Landmark recognizedfor its innovative design and craftsmanship—I have invited Nakashima's daughter Mira, now the creative director of the George Nakashima Woodworker, to learn about the legacy of her father, about the greatness of his design, and about theplan to restore the house. Nakashima built it in the 1940s, and it reflects his philosophy about integrating modernism with traditional Japanese principles, and his vision regarding woodworking and craftsmanship. Today, the Family Houseurgently needs help. Thanks to grants from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, the Foundation has a comprehensive preservation plan that outlines the work needed to stabilize this important historical House.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions Hey guys, appreciate you answering several of my questions in the past, so I thought of a few more. Feel free to separate as they are not related: 1: What do you do, if anything, to maintain furniture you have built? What would you tell a client if they were to ask you. I have always heard Murphy's oil is a good restorative, but when I looked at a bottle at the store I discovered it's just mineral oil. I would never recommend that. Or should I? Lemon Pledge Furniture Polish. Joking, but seriously, what is a good answer? Paste wax? Or just wipe the dust off and let it be? Peter Downing I'm building a dresser and have built the carcass out of cherry plywood. I've glued up a panel out of solid cherry that I want to use as the top. I want to attach the solid panel to the top of the carcass. Would you recommend using screws from the inside/underside of the plywood top and allowing for wood movement or is it ok to glue the solid wood top to the plywood carcass top? Eric Guys Questions Domino vs beadlock set up from rockler?   Same principle...and , in my experience...same outcome.    Thoughts? Crafted Carpentry Tampa When I wanted to learn how to apply shellac, I did a search and found a Youtube video of Guy from the late 70's when Youtube first came out demonstrating his technique involving a balled up rag and a mason jar with a lid to keep it in so it doesn't dry out between coats.  That video is fantastic and I learned a lot than just the rag and jar business. Inevitably, when I'm done shellacking for the day, I leave the rag Guy's Jar.  Because you never really know when you are done applying shellac to something until you arrive at that destination, I end up leaving that rag in the jar for a few weeks.  It's amazing how well it keeps even weeks later.  HOWEVER, on more than one occasion, when I pull Guy's Rag from the jar, it is moldy.  This surprised me the first time because I assumed that the amount of alcohol in the shellac would prevent anything from growing. Does this happen to y'all or is indicative of something amiss.  I just toss it and get a new rag. Additional data points: Shallac is < 2 months old, made from flakes, sourced from Oregon's shellacshack.com I'm using Platina colored shellac usually I'm using "Finishers Edge Shellac Reducer" instead of denatured alcohol because is way more expensive so it must be better right? Jar is a resealable mason jar with a rubber gasket Cloth is from the "bag of t shirts" you can buy at your local woodworking store Shellac still has a strong odor of fresh shellac I reuse the same jar to store my rag Because I'm not a proctologist, there is a chance I've misdiagnosed the mold so I attached an image of the rag. Robert Huys Questions Gents, there is a question here, but I wanted to share some info with you first. In a recent episode there was a bit of a discussion of using Tung oil and how to thin it, etc.  I recently made a  walnut desk inspired by the Nakashima style. I've had the good fortune to get my eyes and hands on some of his pieces for inspiration - they are amazing.  Anyway, on the Nakashima website they discuss the care of their furniture, mentioning how they use Southerland Welles Tung Oil Wiping Varnish. https://sutherlandwelles.com/product-category/wipingvarnish/ It is really easy to apply and looks fantastic, especially on walnut.  I used the Sealer and High Lustre Polymerized Tung Oil finishes. I highly recommend them. (this is not a paid ad!) Finally, here is my question: Have you ever taken a technique, tool, or finish that is used in another craft for your use in furniture making? An example might be Tru Oil used on gunstocks as a furniture finish? Or a technique used by luthiers that helped you in furniture making? Thanks again for a great podcast! Regards, David V. Hi guy I have a question or re3ally looking for advice. I noticed the tension on the v-belt of my delat 14 inch band saw was lose. It looked like freely wabblying when spinning the balde and I could come reaelly close to touching the two sides together when pinching the belt. Anyways I found the manuel online and it says there should be 1 inch deflection. asuming the maker knows what they are talking about I never seen a belt with that much allowance after being tight, so what do you think? Also Wen mention how much a pain replacing the tires or wheels were, how do you do that (i know google will answer my questions too, but we like hearing you guys talk)? Last part, are these upgrades really worth it, sometime I buy into something that really is not an improvement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpDA2X6L9Y4) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FOa9EJf91g) Paul Miotchell

Philippians 1:1-13 A Lesson from the life of Paul with Pastor Steven Nakashima by Upcountry Calvary

Good Evening. Welcome to Nakashima Nightly. It is July 11th, and I'm Dan Burkett - your lead Nakashima Correspondent.Before we begin, I want to take a moment to acknowledge Taylor Fritz in this week's hashtag-Fritz-Friday. Playing in his first ever Wimbledon semifinal, Fritz was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz in four sets. Fritz played a determined match, and with two set points in the fourth set tiebreaker, it was a heartbreaking loss for the American. Still, we congratulate Taylor Fritz on a great grass court season, and look forward to seeing what he can do in the North American hard court swing.American tennis pro Brandon Nakashima took a well-earned break from the professional circuit yesterday, opting for a day filled with casual sports and quality time with his brother. After spending the earlier part of the day on the golf course, Nakashima was spotted later hitting tennis balls with his brother in what appeared to be a relaxed and enjoyable session on the courts.While there are no major updates to report in terms of tournaments or rankings for Nakashima at the moment, the glimpse into his off-court life is a reminder of the balance athletes strive to maintain during the long, demanding tennis season. With the ATP Tour's summer hardcourt swing approaching, days like these offer a chance to recharge both physically and mentally.Known for his calm demeanor and powerful baseline play, Nakashima has steadily carved out a name for himself on tour. His 2022 ATP title in San Diego and deep runs in several other tournaments have shown that he possesses both the talent and the temperament to compete with the best. But like any top-tier athlete, downtime is essential—and yesterday's mix of golf and tennis seems to be part of that personal formula.While fans may be eager for news of his next big match or training milestone, it's moments like these that provide a deeper look at the human side of high-performance sport. Whether refining his serve on the practice court or lining up a putt on the green, Nakashima remains a model of focus, discipline, and quiet dedication.For now, supporters will have to wait for his next official appearance. But it's safe to say that Brandon Nakashima is keeping his game—and his spirit—in good shape.Stay tuned for more updates as the tour rolls on.And with that, we conclude our first week here at Nakashima Nightly. Thank you so much for your continued support. Please continue to support our show by liking this episode, commenting below, sharing with a friend, and subscribing to our channel. For Nakashima Nightly, I'm Dan Burkett, signing off.

Welcome back, tennis fans! It is July 10th, this is Nakashima Nightly, and I'm Dan Burkett, your lead Brandon Nakashima correspondent. Before we begin with our usual news report regarding superstar Brandon Nakashima, I want to first extend a heartfelt congratulations to Amanda Anisimova for defeating Sabalenka to earn her spot in this year's Wimbledon final. Truly, an amazing run she's been having, and we hope to see her take the title on Saturday. Now, let's get to it:While most professional athletes spend their seasons traveling, training, and competing non-stop, American tennis player Brandon Nakashima chose a different route today. Instead of heading straight back to the practice courts after his Wimbledon run, Nakashima took an unorthodox detour in his grass-court season—with a leisurely round of golf alongside his brother.The 23-year-old, known for his calm and composed presence on the tennis court, decided to take a break not with more drills or gym time—but with fresh air, soft fairways, and the soft thwack of a golf ball off a tee. It wasn't about training his swing; it was about recharging his mind and body—something more and more top athletes are realizing is just as important as physical workouts.So why would a professional tennis player swap his high-stakes routine for a quiet morning on the green?Because on the ATP Tour, rest is part of the grind.Brandon Nakashima may not always be in the spotlight like some of his louder or flashier tennis peers, but that's exactly what makes him so interesting. He lets his tennis do the talking—and this season, it's said plenty.After winning two tough matches at Wimbledon, including a four-set victory over fellow American Reilly Opelka, Nakashima was knocked out in the third round by Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. While some players might jump straight into the next tournament, Nakashima chose something different: a reset.With a handful of smaller grass-court tournaments still on the calendar before the U.S. Open series kicks off, Nakashima and his team decided that what he needed most wasn't another session of hitting backhands. It was balance.The Demands of the ATP TourTo understand why Nakashima's day off matters, you need to understand how intense life on the ATP Tour really is.Professional tennis players don't just play four tournaments a year like the Grand Slams. Many play 25 to 30 tournaments annually, all over the world—on different continents, time zones, surfaces, and climates. One week you might be playing on clay in Rome, and the next on hard court in Montreal.Matches can last three hours or more, and even if a player loses early, they often have to jump on a plane within 24 hours to get to the next event. That means players are constantly dealing with jet lag, sore muscles, mental pressure, and the challenge of keeping their body healthy.It's no wonder that injuries, burnout, and exhaustion are common—even among top players.Let's talk about Why Recovery Isn't “Being Lazy”To someone on the outside, taking a day off from training might seem like slacking. But in professional sports, recovery is actually part of the plan. Experts in sports science often say rest is when the body grows stronger—not during the workout, but after it.Here's what proper recovery can help with:Muscle repair – After intense matches, muscles need time to rebuild and recover. Overtraining can lead to injuries.Mental reset – Tennis is incredibly mental. Players often spend hours focusing, strategizing, and handling pressure. A day away helps clear the mind.Preventing burnout – Constant competition can drain motivation. Fun, stress-free activities like golf, swimming, or spending time with family help players come back fresh.

American tennis player Brandon Nakashima concluded a promising run at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships with a third-round loss to Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. After securing two quality victories in the early rounds, Nakashima's campaign ended on the tournament's first weekend, offering a mix of progress and areas for reflection as the tour heads into the summer hard-court swing.Strong Start on GrassNakashima, 23, entered Wimbledon unseeded but quickly established himself as a player to watch in the first week. In his opening match, he faced Chinese up-and-comer Yunchaokete Bu, a powerful baseline player making his Wimbledon main draw debut.Round 1Brandon Nakashima def. Yunchaokete Bu – 6-4, 4-6, 7(7)-6(1), 6-4The match unfolded as a tight four-setter. Nakashima secured an early edge in the first set, only to see Bu respond by raising his level in the second. The third set, a pivotal moment, was decided in a tiebreak where Nakashima played clean and aggressive points to take it 7–1. He then wrapped up the fourth set by breaking Bu at 4–4 and serving out the match with calm efficiency.In the second round, Nakashima was drawn against fellow American Reilly Opelka, the towering 6-foot-11 former top-20 player returning to Grand Slam play after a long injury hiatus. While Opelka's serve was as imposing as ever, Nakashima navigated the match with intelligent returning and solid baseline play.Round 2Brandon Nakashima def. Reilly Opelka – 7-5, 6-2, 6(6)-7(8), 6-3Nakashima broke late in the first set and carried momentum into a dominant second set, where Opelka's first serve percentage dipped noticeably. After narrowly dropping a tight third-set tiebreak—despite having match points—Nakashima quickly rebounded, closing out the fourth set with a break and a confident hold. The victory marked one of Nakashima's more composed performances on grass and advanced him to the third round of Wimbledon for the second time in his career.Third-Round Loss to SonegoIn the third round, Nakashima faced Lorenzo Sonego, the experienced Italian known for his explosive forehand, emotional energy, and affinity for grass-court play. Sonego, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2021, brought intensity and tactical versatility to the match.Despite entering the contest with momentum and confidence, Nakashima struggled to consistently counter Sonego's pace and aggressive net approaches. The Italian dictated the majority of the key points, forcing Nakashima into defensive positions and capitalizing on second serves.Round 3Lorenzo Sonego def. Brandon Nakashima – [insert actual score] (Note: actual match score can be inserted if available)Nakashima fought hard, extending several baseline rallies and generating opportunities with his backhand down the line. However, Sonego's ability to take time away and dominate with his serve-and-volley tactics proved decisive. Nakashima showed flashes of resistance—particularly in key service games—but was ultimately unable to break through as Sonego advanced to the Round of 16.Brandon Nakashima may not have made a deep run into the second week at Wimbledon, but his steady, composed performances in the first two rounds highlight the strengths of a player still working toward a return to the tour's top tier. Eyes now turn to his home-soil performances, where expectations remain high.

It is July 7th and this is: Nakashima Nightly. I'm your host, Dan Burkett, bringing you the latest and greatest about ATP superstar Brandon Nakashima. Tonight, we're recapping Wimbledon. Ladies and gentlemen, tennis aficionados and casual Centre Court snackers alike, gather 'round for the tale of Brandon Nakashima's charmingly clinical, statistically stunning, and unexpectedly spicy run at Wimbledon 2025—a performance that left fans grinning, commentators reaching for new adjectives, and opponents...well, mostly reaching for towels.Let's set the scene: it's 2025, the grass is freshly trimmed, the strawberries are overpriced, and Brandon Nakashima strolls into Wimbledon like your calm, unbothered friend who somehow always finds parking. Ranked just outside the top-tier headlines but firmly inside the “don't sleep on him” club, Nakashima arrived with quiet confidence, clean groundstrokes, and a serve so effective it should probably be taxed.Now, about that serve. Forty-nine aces. That's right. Forty-nine. That's not a stat, that's a flex. The man served up more aces than a Las Vegas poker table. And with only 4 double faults? That's practically monk-like discipline. Somewhere, John Isner nodded in solemn approval.Brandon landed 72% of his first serves in—basically turning each service game into a polite but firm announcement: “Hi, I'll be holding serve now.” And when he did? He won 77% of those points. Seventy-seven! At that point, his serve was less a weapon and more a Wimbledon-certified public utility.But let's not ignore his second serve—where many players flirt with disaster, Brandon was dating efficiency. He won 60% of second serve points, which is like saying, “Even on my backup plan, I'm still better than most of your first ideas.”And it wasn't all serve and no spice. Nakashima broke serve 10 times over the fortnight—proving that he wasn't just a one-trick pony. He was also a sly little thief, sneaking return games when opponents least expected it, like a tennis-playing ninja in Uniqlo.Now, while the British crowd loves their big names and royals-in-the-royal-box cameos, by the second week, Centre Court was whispering one name over tea and crumpets: Nakashima. He didn't just win matches—he conducted them, like a symphony of clean technique, calm demeanor, and the occasional “did he just paint the line again?” shot that left everyone in a mild state of disbelief.Opponents described him as “annoyingly consistent,” “robotically precise,” and “way too nice to beat me this badly.” Brandon, ever the gentleman, would simply give a humble nod, pack his bag, and move on like he hadn't just dismantled someone's Wimbledon dream with surgical forehands and a serve that could knock a pigeon off the scoreboard.Did he win the title? Well, not quite. But he went deep. Like, “call the hotel, we're staying another week” deep. And more importantly, he won over fans with his stoic swagger, effortless shot-making, and charmingly understated post-match interviews. Somewhere between the ace count and the unforced error avoidance, Brandon Nakashima became Wimbledon's most polite menace.So as the final grass clippings settled and the applause faded, one thing was clear: Brandon Nakashima didn't just have a run at Wimbledon—he glided. And next year? Well, let's just say...Centre Court better start reserving his spot early.

You don't have to be a birder for a long time to appreciate that birds are capable of producing an astonishing array of colors and patterns, even those beyond what our weak human eyes can discern. Hidden in that avian rainbow are clues to bird taxonomy and evolution, which is the work of our guest Whitney Tsai Nakashima, a researcher at Occidental College's Moore Lab of Zoology. Also, great news for one of south Texas's best birding sites.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!

On parle beaucoup de la tension très vive qui règne en mer de Chine méridionale, avec ces fréquentes escarmouches entre les navires des garde-côtes chinois et philippins. Mais plus à l'Est, en mer de Chine orientale, la situation s'est aussi beaucoup dégradée ces dernières années, en raison des intimidations et des provocations militaires à répétition de Pékin. À Okinawa, dans l'extrême Sud du Japon, l'armée est mobilisée comme jamais, et l'inquiétude des habitants grandit. En 2024, des navires des garde-côtes chinois lourdement armés ont pénétré à 39 reprises dans les eaux territoriales japonaises pour s'approcher des Senkakus, îlots nippons que Pékin revendique. Et pendant 355 jours, ils ont harcelé les chalutiers japonais qui pêchaient aux alentours, leur ordonnant de quitter immédiatement « le territoire chinois ».Au-delà, des navires de guerre chinois ont croisé en mer de Chine orientale à 68 reprises en 2024. C'est beaucoup plus que les années précédentes. Un avion de reconnaissance chinois a violé l'espace aérien du Japon, un événement inédit. Et dans la région, les exercices de l'armée de l'air chinoise se sont succédés, incluant parfois des bombardiers.Dans les rues de Naha, la capitale d'Okinawa, l'inquiétude est palpable. « Un missile tiré à Pékin met moins de 10 minutes pour arriver ici. Le moment venu, on n'aura pas temps de se mettre à l'abri », redoute une habitante. Un autre confie qu'en cas de tir, dans la mesure où il n'y a « pas le moindre abri anti-missiles » aux alentours, il n'aurait pas d'autre choix : « Je resterais à la maison, me recroquevillerais sous la table du salon et prierais. » Un autre femme de Naha avoue ne plus regarder les journaux télévisés car « ils sont trop stressants ».« Notre devoir est de protéger l'ensemble de notre territoire et d'assurer la sécurité de tous les Japonais »Désormais, en mer de Chine orientale, bon nombre d'îles japonaises sont hérissées de batteries de défense anti-missiles. Dans plusieurs bases militaires, des missiles balistiques de longue portée sont entreposés. Et les garnisons stationnées dans la région ont vu leurs effectifs considérablement augmenter. Mais cette mobilisation militaire ne fait pas l'unanimité. Certains jugent qu'elle fait courir des risques aux habitants.« Ces bases militaires censées nous protéger. En fait, elles nous mettent en danger, car si la guerre éclate, les localités où elles sont implantées seront la cible numéro 1 de l'ennemi. Rien que cette idée me fait frémir », déclare l'une d'elle. Un autre habitant abonde : « On le voit en Ukraine depuis trois ans : les missiles russes s'abattent en priorité sur les villes où se trouvent des garnisons ou des dépôts de munitions. Ce sont des abris souterrains qu'il nous faudrait pour être bien protégés, pas des bases militaires. »Comment l'armée prend-elle ces critiques ? Le major général Nakashima, numéro 2 de la zone de Défense du sud-ouest, répond : « Notre devoir, c'est de protéger l'ensemble de notre territoire, et donc d'assurer la sécurité de tous les Japonais. Mais dans notre pays, le sentiment antimilitariste n'est pas marginal depuis la fin de la Seconde guerre mondiale. Nous en prenons acte avec humilité et allons donc poursuivre notre travail de persuasion et de conviction afin d'obtenir la compréhension et la coopération de la population. »L'enjeu est aussi de rassurer, car à en croire les sondages, huit Japonais sur dix jugent que l'environnement sécuritaire de la région s'est dégradé ces dernières années. Et plus d'un sur deux se dit persuadé qu'un jour ou l'autre, la Chine finira par attaquer Taïwan, qui n'est qu'à une centaine de kilomètres de plusieurs îles japonaises.À lire aussiMer de Chine méridionale: Pékin réplique à l'avertissement de Washington

In this episode, Brazilian Army Colonel Giorgio Pizzani joins me to talk about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force from creation through 1944 -- a special formation of 25,000 volunteers from Brazil who travel to Italy to fight alongside the Allies. This was a feat made possible by President Roosevelt and the American forces transporting the BEF, then supplying and equipping the men to enable them to contribute to the fight against the Axis in Italy. There were also 67 nurses who volunteered along with the men to travel to the European Theater and care for the wounded. This is "Part I" as the story will continue in the 1945 series.

Woodworker Mira Nakashima keeps her father, George Nakashima's legacy alive by creating furniture that holds the spirit of each tree. Here's what we talk about in this episode: Art, Creativity, Culture, Design, Environment, Nature, Sustainability

In today's episode of the Master Series, we discuss the amazing Japanese Americana furniture designer and architect, George Nakashima, widely considered to be the father of slab furniture. George believed trees had a soul, and through the act of making furniture he was giving them a second life. His most famous pieces of furniture include live edge slab tables and benches with architecturally inspired bases, with clean lines almost evoking the peace and serenity of Zen Buddhism. Following George's death in 1990, his daughter Mira boldly led Nakashima Woodworkers forward into their new chapter. Today, we have the incredible fortune of having two VERY SPECIAL guests with us, Mira Nakashima, daughter of George Nakashima, and her grandson Toshi Amagasu who not only give us an inside look into Nakashima Furniture, but also inside their thriving family legacy.

This Episodes Questions: Brian's Questions: Hey guys I have a kinda lengthy question, so new to woodworking and I've been listening to your guys podcast and really like it!! Very helpful! Question #1 is it better to have a good table saw blade over a good saw #2 is it better to have a good table saw over a good incra fence!? Back story I have a delta table saw, I got for free from a friend, I was wondering if it's worth spending the money or save and eventually get a better saw like a powermatic table saw etc. maybe I get caught up in the details of tools and expect them to do the work for me, but I am someone that like to have the right tools for the job. Granted as new as I am it's hard to justify $10,000 to have all the right tools, just wondering if I should focus more on making something then, on the tools! Hope it all makes sense and it's not more of a rant!! Thank you for all the work you guys do!! Ivan I'm making a mantle for my living room out of rift-sawn white oak plywood. 74" long, with a miter fold design. My wife wants it to look the same way it does before applying finish, and I'm not sure how to do that or if it is even possible. I've tested with water-based poly (Minwax), but it causes it to look a bit "golden". Suggestions? Brian Guy's Questions: Hi fellas, Love the podcast and all your great advice. I recently glued up a free-standing (liquor) cabinet and was very nervous about it being square, especially since it was difficult to check for square (measuring corner to corner in the front and back) with all the various clamps on.  I ended up making the back panel (which fits into rabbets), which I knew was square, and placed it in the back (without glue) while the glue dried on the various joints (through tenons on top and bottom shelves, mid-shelves sit in stopped dados).  The idea was that if the square back panel fit correctly, it would help pull the whole cabinet into square.  It turned out perfectly this time (wahoo!), but am not sure if I got lucky or if this is a reliable method to come back to.  What do y'all think?  Does this method make sense?  Any other suggestions on how to check or ensure square with free-standing cabinets of a decent size (46" tall, 26" wide, 16" deep)? Thanks, Bryan Hi gents:  long time listener here and as I've said before, thanks so much for the great content you deliver.  You have discussed your spraying equipment set up in the past but I was hoping you could describe your spray BOOTH set up- obviously Brian is exempt from this question since he doesn't apply finish.  How do you guys spray volatile finishes in the winter on your garage?  Do you have a spray booth like set up?  Do you openly spray in your garage workshops?  How do you vent potentially dangerous fumes?  Any details you can provide would be appreciated as I would like to do more spraying of shellac and I like wipe on poly both of which are challenges in winter time when you can't work outside. Liam from Indianapolis Huy's Questions: I've recently found the podcast and am loving going back and learning from each episode! I've noticed that a ton of time has been dedicated to doling out wisdom on different types of finishing techniques and products. I'm sure the best way to learn all of this is through experience, but do you have and resources to recommend budding woodworkers as a go-to guide? With the way my brain works, learning the origins of each finish, their make-ups, and how that brings about their use cases and strengths/weaknesses would go a long way for me to internalize all of the various do's and dont's. Do you have a resource you go to when considering applicable finishing materials on a new project? Jeremiah Love the show, I appreciate you guys giving it the time it takes to make it happen.  My question is about a solid Walnut table that I built for my eat in kitchen. The material was 30yr + air dried Walnut milled down to a thickness of about 15/16" for the table top each board is six to eight inches in width and makes up a 32" wide table top by 5' and change in length.  I used Domino's for alignment titebond two for the glue.  The table base is inspired by conoid table style from Nakashima and is connected to the table top using "buttons and screws" connected to the two rails at top each  of the splayed legs.  I did not add any type of support down the center nor any type of skirting or an apron so there's about four foot in between the table legs of unsupported table top. - I've been using table for a few months now, and every once in a while I'll place my Veritas straight edge on it and check. It hasn't seemed to move at all in any direction but yet I still think about this multiple times a week what are your thoughts? Will this eventually sag in the middle with out a continuous support running the center if the table? Joe R.
