This Episodes Questions Brians Questions: Hey Gents, As always love the podcast. I just upgrade from a bosch jobsite table saw to a general international 50-220 hybrud thats about 20 years old. It is in great shape and I want to keep it that way. What are some general maintenance things you would initially do with an older saw such as this and what would you do going forward to keep it in tip top shape? Thanks again! Tyler You guys often talk about pocket hole screws being an easy way to fasten boards together. I find I often have the boards move on me and misalign the joints when I use pocket hole screws. Do you experience this / how do you prevent it? Especially when one of the boards is too long to feasibly clamp it well. Tyler Guys Questions: Hey guys… Indianapolis native woodworker/DIYer here. Second time to ask a question and unfortunately is one you have probably answered before, but hopefully there is a slight twist to this one. I'm looking to refinish a dinning table that is currently made of oak with a light yellower stain with a clear coat that is knicked up and scratched. The wife would like for the table to be black. I'm interested in using Target Coatings EM6600 - Raven black pigmented laquer. I've never used the pigmented laquer and hopefully it's easy enough for a DIY guy to do a decent job. Couple questions about this: 1. Do I need to sand the old finish off or use a chemical to soften the finish and then sand it off, or can a pigmented laquer go on over and the finish since it is covering over the old colors completely? Or instead of sanding can you use Target coatings HSF5000 primer, surfaced, and grain filler over the top of the old finish? 2. If I do need to sand it at least to scuff it up for the primer to adhere how far back do I need to sand it back? Is it just enough to rough it up, or do I need to be all the way back to bare wood? 3. Lastly has anyone ever used the grain filler primer from Target Coatings? Am I wasting my money on this product? Wood grain showing through the black finish isn't the end of the world, but if we could have a completely smooth finish and little to know grain causing a “feeling” on the table that would be preferable. And maybe we would get that from the laquer building up already. Thanks for the awesome podcast. I've learned a ton from you all! Thanks Jason Im 62 years old been woodworking for years and would love to use sketch up to help design and build projects. I know that there are versions dedicated to woodworking. My question is do you guys use sketch up? What version do you use? I know there are subscription fees. Im concerned about the learning curve. Ive watched some YouTube videos Im a small hobbyist shop doing small projects, built ins and i do a lot of design just in my head. Would love to be able to design and refine projects on the computer before i start building. Appreciate any advice on beginning this. Thank you, Phil Huys Questions: G'day guys , from Australia. long time listener and I finally have a question. An auction for a closing business appeared on my Instagram feed and it was nearby so I bid and won around 3000 square metres of veneer (roughly 32,000 square feet or 3/4 of an acre.)for the princely sum of $56 AUD or $39 USD. The veneers were shopsawn in house and are 1.8mm - 2.4mm with some of the walnut 5000mm long and 600mm wide the species also include. - Walnut burl. - Yellow poplar burl. -Maple - Pacific maple. - European Walnut - European oak - Silky Oak - QLD Pepperwood - Palisander Rosewood - Tasmanian blackwood - Fiddleback Tasmanian Blackwood - Blackbutt It's a lifetime supply for me and I have already started to flatten and sort some of the stock , which brings me to my first question. The poplar burl is extremely dry, crinkled, and bubbly. I sprayed it with a homemade veneer flattening solution( alcohol, glycerine and water) and pressed it in cauls and clamps. The veneer definitely flattened out and became pliable and flexible, however. As it has flattened over in the press, it has folded over itself in places, picture ironing over a crinkle in a Shirt i guess. I can send a photo if you want. This is all over the veneer , unlike a shirt I can't just stretch it out and go over it, so my question to you three is, how do I "stretch out" my veneer to get it flat, or is this veneer gone? The rest of the veneer is great, thankfully it's just the poplar burl. Dylan I enjoy your show and have a question to submit. I am building a cherry slab river table with a black epoxy center. My question is regarding the final finish coat. I have done two similar projects on one I used epoxy and didn't care for the plastic look of the finish. On the second I used Rubio but came out dull and wasn't very durable which is important because my family doesn't always treat wood finishes with the care I would like. What finish would you recommend that has a sheen in the satin to semi gloss range with good durability?I have a lvlp spray gun if that helps with options. Spencer
John Dickinson and John Lund recap a 41-17 preseason Game 2 win for SF. The 49ers' running back situation is looking a bit more promising after a strong showing from Kaelon Black and Sincere McCormick in the team's latest preseason game. The duo impressed with their performances, leaving some to wonder if they could be the back answer to Christian McCaffreys. Meanwhile, the 49ers' wide receiver situation is still up in the air, with Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins vying for a spot on the roster. The team's pass rush is also a concern, with a lack of depth on the outside beyond Nick Bosa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Brians Questions: I have a question that i would like your input on. I have a double car garage that i use as my workshop. I want to build an outfeed table for my tablesaw. I was thinking of something that could be multi use. I was thinking of making two 2'x 4' workbenches that would be on hinges so i could open it as a 2x8 or close it so its 4x4. I was thinking of using castors as well as adjustable feet. Im not 100% sold on the idea and was just hoping to hear some suggestions from the pros! Hopefully this makes for a good question for your podcast. Once again, thank you for the AMAZING podcast and youtube videos. Matt Hi all, First, thanks for the podcast, by far the best format and the best information. It seems each podcast I almost always learn something. I have a question about glue ups. When I glue up a joint, I try to keep squeeze out to a minimum and by doing that I'm not sure if I'll use enough glue. However, squeeze out is inevitable. Do you try to keep squeezing out to a minimum and if so what steps do you take. Also, when you do have squeeze out on a joint what do you do to get rid of the excess glue. I'm not talking about squeeze out on a panel, since it's easy to either use a plane to get rid of the glue when it dries, or sand it away. Any advice that you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Guys Questions: Hello! My name is Eric. I am a rather new/inexperienced woodworker. After hurricane Helene did so much damage in South Carolina, I decided I no longer wanted a large Hickory tree beside my house. I paid professionals to fell this 100 year-old tree. I paid my friend, a rookie, to mill it into 5/4 inch planks/boards. I've been air-drying this wood in my garage for over a year. It is time to do something with it. When I looked up, “What should you make out of Hickory?” The answers are baseball bats, ax handles, hardwood floors, and steps for staircases. I am not going to make any of those. I have 750 board foot of this stuff… What should I make? What should I not make with this wood? What gotchas do I need to be prepared for? Any other advice? Eric in SC Hi guys, I'm building a large frame for a canvas artwork for a friend. I'd like to reinforce the miters using miter keys. Previously, I've cut the slots for miter keys on the table saw with a dedicated 45 degree jig when building small boxes. This frame is pretty big though, and I think the size would make it really awkward to do this way on the table saw. Any other methods besides the table saw you've had success with cutting miter keys? Do you have any general recommendations for thickness of the miter keys in relation to the miter itself? Or at what thickness of material you would consider multiple miter keys for added strength? The frame is all going to be stained the same color so I'm not worried about aesthetic of the keys or contrasting with different wood species, just purely doing it for added strength. The frame is 1.5” thick with 4/4 ash and about 3 feet by 5 feet for reference. Thanks! Evan Huys Questions: The veneers were shopsawn in house and are 1.8mm - 2.4mm with some of the walnut 5000mm long and 600mm wide the species also include. - Walnut burl. - Yellow poplar burl. -Maple - Pacific maple. - European Walnut - European oak - Silky Oak - QLD Pepperwood - Palisander Rosewood - Tasmanian blackwood - Fiddleback Tasmanian Blackwood - Blackbutt My other question is, can the three of you suggest a project each of small to medium size I can do with this veneer . I find it easier to work towards something when I have been told what to do rather than racking my brain in the workshop trying to think of something to do whilst drowning in a sea of veneer. Dylan Hi folks First as always thanks for one of the most friendliest and informative woodworking podcasts. So here's my dilemma. I've often heard about letting the wood acclimate to your shop environment before beginning a project. I understand that. My confusion comes in when starting to mill the wood. It's often mentioned to mill the wood in graduated steps of a couple of days to allow it to release any built up tension. However I never hear of this being done in large production shops. Guy and Brian how do you do this where you work? Thanks, Doug
Portrait of Jimena Velarde-Alvarez in her studio, 2026, Portrait by Silver Mikiver Jimena Velarde-Alvarez (b. 2001, Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian artist based in New York. She received her BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Emerging from attention—to and over time—Velarde-Alvarez's work develops through a process of accumulation and return. Working primarily across painting, drawing, and sculpture, she approaches image-making as a practice of sustained attention, returning to an image as it gradually emerges and evolves. Through repeated encounters, her work follows the echoes of time as they surface and recede. In her paintings, carefully considered compositions and an atmosphere of restraint allow light, shadow, and architecture to emerge in quiet relation to one another. Spacious interiors, recurring windows, doorways, and thresholds create spaces where atmosphere becomes an active presence within the image. Through translucent figures, shadows, and layered surfaces, Velarde-Alvarez traces the subtle ways time gradually reveals the contours of things. Across painting and writing, layering becomes both material and metaphor. The accumulation of paint and language mirrors the ways memory, attention, and time are sedimented within the self: how the past accumulates and is continually rewritten, and how these layers can only be accessed through stillness, yet never be fully recovered. Parallel to her painting practice, Velarde-Alvarez's writing opens another point of entry into the work. Through poetry, diary fragments, and text-based pieces, language serves as both companion and counterpart—a space for reflection and self-examination that deepens and expands the questions posed by the paintings rather than explaining them. Deeply rooted in personal experience, Velarde-Alvarez's practice continues to evolve alongside her, unfolding through and remaining open to the questions that emerge over time. Velarde-Alvarez's work has been exhibited in the United States and Peru. She is currently presenting her first solo exhibition, La sombra del tiempo, at Margot Samel, New York.

On today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, California Walnut Commission and Board CEO and Executive Director Robert Verloop shared an optimistic outlook for the state's walnut industry, highlighting strong export demand, improving trade conditions, and what growers can expect as the 2026 harvest approaches. Verloop said the 2025 crop benefited from favorable growing conditions that resulted in exceptional quality and minimal losses during processing. While the large crop initially created abundant supplies, strong domestic and international demand has steadily reduced inventories, leaving the industry in a favorable position heading into the new season. California remains the dominant producer of walnuts in the United States, accounting for approximately 99% of the nation's commercial walnut production. The industry includes roughly 3,700 growers farming about 375,000 bearing acres throughout the Central Valley and surrounding production regions. International trade continues to be a major driver for the industry, with about two-thirds of California walnuts exported worldwide. Verloop highlighted recent progress in trade negotiations with the European Union, where reduced tariffs are expected to strengthen California's position in one of its largest export markets. He also pointed to India as one of the industry's biggest long-term opportunities. California walnuts currently face a 100% tariff entering India, but negotiations continue between U.S. trade officials and the Indian government. Verloop said lowering those barriers could significantly expand demand, calling India one of the most promising growth markets for California walnuts. Other export destinations, including Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Southeast Asia, have also contributed to stronger international shipments over the past year. Verloop noted that while competition from countries such as Chile and China remains part of the global marketplace, California continues to distinguish itself through consistent quality, flavor, and reliability. Beyond exports, the California Walnut Commission is also working to increase domestic consumption. One major focus has been repositioning walnuts in grocery stores from the baking aisle into the produce department, emphasizing that walnuts are a fresh agricultural product grown on trees. The organization is also expanding efforts with chefs and restaurants to encourage more menu applications beyond traditional salads and baked goods. Looking toward harvest, Verloop said growers are closely monitoring weather conditions as orchards move through the critical nut-filling stage. An early harvest is possible if favorable conditions continue, although producers will continue watching for any late-season heat or rainfall that could affect harvest timing and quality. Throughout the conversation, Verloop emphasized that California's walnut growers remain focused on producing a high-quality crop while continuing to expand markets around the world.

What started as a simple trip to Patrik's 40-year Walnut High School reunion in Idyllwild turned into one of the most emotional weekends we've ever shared. We take you behind the scenes of every hilarious, awkward and heartfelt moment—from classmates joking about escaping to Costa Rica, oversized breakfasts with SnowWhite90210, and our failed attempt at "hiking," to tequila shots on the reunion red carpet, luxury watches, mountain adventures and why Pol spent half the weekend trying to wake up a very sleepy Patrik. Then everything changed. One of Patrik's former high school football bullies—the same person who admitted to bullying him for being gay and even spit on him during a school play—walked across the room after 40 years to apologize. We relive the emotional conversation, what forgiveness really means, and why Pol wasn't about to let him off the hook without asking the question everyone else was thinking. We also share the hilarious disaster of Patrik's misspelled reunion name badge (again!), discovering the memorial table for classmates we've lost, reconnecting with old friends, hearing about Patrik's very first girlfriend, dancing the night away, reliving California's infamous high school smoking section, and laughing over stories only classmates from the Class of '86 could appreciate. Along the way we talk about growing older, chasing dreams, finding happiness, surviving high school, and realizing just how far life has taken us—from Walnut High School to television, fashion, radio and beyond. We also revisit the emotional story of Pol being honored by his Armenian school years ago, the acceptance speech that accidentally left Patrik out, and why they're still laughing about it today. Of course, no episode would be complete without Armenian Coffee Reading moments, SnowWhite90210 stealing the spotlight, travel tips for Idyllwild, a shout-out to Raj and The Bunkhouse, plenty of celebrity-style fashion commentary, and the playful banter that makes our marriage—and this podcast—so much fun. If you've ever wondered whether you should attend your high school reunion, this episode may just convince you to go... because sometimes healing, forgiveness, unexpected laughter and lifelong friendships are waiting 40 years later. Best Quote "Closure doesn't come from the apology—it comes from the life you've built."

Hello to you listening in Schaumburg, Illinois! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. One summer afternoon Nasruddin was relaxing under a massive walnut tree. He looks up at the tiny walnuts hanging above him and then to a nearby garden patch of ripe watermelons growing on small vines. Nasruddin looks up to the sky and says, “Lord, your creation is wonderful, but sometimes illogical. Why would you hang tiny nuts on a giant tree, and huge melons on a thin, frail vine?" Just then, a walnut falls from the branches and hits him squarely on the head. Nasruddin says, “Forgive my desire to be right. If you had hung watermelons on this tree, I would be dead!" Maybe like me you've had practice with being a know-it-all, all the time. Let's face it: the need to be right is exhausting! So, why do we cling to being right? Culture, schooling, religion, family, and community all play a part in teaching us that being right is all about being perfect and perfect is desirable. But what has perfect ever done for you? Over time I've come face-to-face with this: I don't really know as much as I think I do. I concede to watermelons on the ground and walnuts in a tree. Story Prompt: Think of a time when you were okay to let go of the need to be right, to know it all, have it all, and be it all. What happened next? Write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Following the Tick Report, Robert updates us on Trump's pattern in Iran of threatening escalation and then pulling back. Wisconsin unveiled its new procedures for dealing with BadgerCare work requirements in the Big Ugly Bill. But the Trump/Kennedy HHS's last minute changes to the final rule makes it much worse than the language of the bill, risking coverage for people with serious conditions such as life threatening cancer. With health care at risk for hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites, including people too frail to work, is Wisconsin prepared? We revisit the last minute budget gimmick engineered by the big hospital lobby, Evers, and Vos but disallowed by the Trump Regime. We dive into a new Brookings Report finding 45.5% of U.S. households did not earn enough to make ends meet. The report concludes that moving the needle on affordability requires action on both sides of the equation: lowering costs of living and dramatically increasing household incomes. We preview 4 newly scheduled $20 Wage Town Halls in Fond du Lac, Madison, and two in the Milwaukee area We close with an in-depth interview with Bryan Rogers, the environmental justice director at Milwaukee's Walnut Way. Bryan, who is a regular podcast listener, tells us more about Walnut Way and discusses why they are co-hosting a governor candidate forum on Saturday, June 27th, 10am at North Division High School. Bryan explains why their members are so deeply involved in fighting climate change and higher utiilty costs that fall disproportionally on predominantly Black neighborhoods in Milwaukee.
Episode 97 This is a story about Philadelphia's gay history, beginning with the first protest at Dewey’s Restaurant in the 1960s, our Reminder events and history makers who've made an incredible difference in our city's LGBTQIA community. Historically, Philly pride was held in an area of the city called the Gayborhood. Named as such in October 1995 during the city's first Outfest in honor of national coming out day. David Warner of the Philadelphia City Paper changed the lyrics to Mr. Roger's famous song and said It's a beautiful day in the gayborhood. In 2007, the city installed 36 rainbow street signs between 11th and Broad Street, and Walnut and Pine Streets to recognize the gay history in our city. This year, the event was moved to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, yet many chose to celebrate as they always have – in the Gayborhood. What they didn’t expect was an overwhelming police presence as they celebrated Philly Pride 2026.

St. Matthew introduces John the Baptist, moving the account of Jesus' life forward to the cusp of His preaching ministry. John's appearance in the wilderness fulfills God's promise of the forerunner of the Christ, foretold by the prophet Isaiah. John's clothing marks him as the Elijah who is to come, and his preaching and baptizing of repentant sinners prepares the way for Jesus' ministry. John meets the unrepentant Pharisees and Sadducees with a strong warning that they must not place their trust in their heritage or self-righteousness. The Lord wants true repentance and faith, and the matter is urgent, for the Christ is coming with judgment quickly after John. Rev. Phillip Fischaber, pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Walnut, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 3:1-12. To learn more about Holy Trinity Lutheran, visit htlcwalnut.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Send us Fan MailHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Before we get started with today's episode, I wanted to remind you that you can support Attendance Bias by rating and reviewing the show wherever you get your podcasts, you can follow Attendance Bias on social media, and you can visit www.buymeacoffee.com/attendancebias and donate anything you can. Now, onto the show:Today, we continue our miniseries of previewing each venue on Phish's 2026 summer tour with a peek at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, or for the purposes of today's episode: Walnut Creek. We are firmly in the “Thunderstorms with 110% humidity” leg of summer tour. The last venue was Enmarket Arena in Savannah, this week we are in Raleigh, North Carolina for Walnut Creek, and next up will be Merriweather Post. Although there are some quirks to this summer tour, Walnut Creek is a well-established venue for Phish fans, going all the way back to 1994. In fact, with just one or two exceptions, Phish's history in Raleigh is their history at Walnut Creek, which makes this a very exciting stop on the tour and an exciting episode. Our tour guide today is Bryan Rodgers; a long-time Phish fan who has lived in and around the Raleigh-Durham area for nearly all his life. Bryan not only tells us about the literal geography of Raleigh, but explains the recent history of Raleigh, where and how the jamband scene fits in over the past 30 years, active venues, and venues long gone, and the best places to get North Carolina Raleigh-style barbecue.In addition, Bryan and I review Phish's history in Raleigh and at Walnut Creek; I'll be honest: there are a lot more music clips in today's episode than there usually are in the venue previews. Walnut Creek deserves and demands it. Whether it's jamming during a thunderstorm, or a mashup between Runaway Jim and Run Like An Antelope, Bryan has us covered today. So let's get right to it as we prepare for Phish's show at Walnut Creek on July 17, 2026.Support the show

Yes! Chef! Nick and Angela are joined by Jon Favreau for an episode packed with appreciation for great food, and the creativity and passion that goes into making it. Jon arrives in the kitchen in the middle of a gigantic world press tour to promote his new movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, the latest adventure in the Star Wars universe. The film, of which Favreau is director, co-writer and producer, is out in cinemas this week and boasts an all-star cast including Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White. Jon is well versed with the culinary world, most notably with his 2014 film Chef, where he played a cook who starts up his own food truck. In order to prepare for the role, he schooled up on a range of cooking techniques with long-term collaborator, the Korean-American chef Roy Choi. Jon's passion for chef life also extended to him getting his own commercial kitchen fitted and working with Choi on The Chef Show, where he shared meals with celebrity guests including Gwyneth Paltrow and one of our faves, Tom Holland. Add those credentials to his back catalogue of film work, which includes Iron Man, The Jungle Book and Elf, and you have the ingredients for a top quality Dish guest. The episode's meal is a request from Jon: a simple but perfect Cacio e pepe gnocchi with broccoli & walnuts, a creation he admires from the best spot in the kitchen. The wine pairing is a bottle of Broglia Gavi DOCG. Enjoy this one, food lovers, as Jon shares his joy for food with us all. We get to level up the Fast Food Quiz, hear about DJing for Mark Ronson, find a rare Favreau knowledge gap, and ‘the clean plate club' is born.

You need to stop what you are doing and go watch Stumble on Peacock if you haven't seen it! If you have seen it, go rewatch it! I am hoping that NBC will change their minds, or that someone else will pick up this show. This show is fantastic and needs to be around for more seasons. If you don't have any knowledge of this show, it says Jenn Lyon and Taran Killam and the synopsis is...After being fired from her beloved role as head coach of a first-class cheerleading team, Courteney Potter is ready to stage the ultimate comeback. Just one championship shy of becoming the winningest college cheer coach ever, she takes a new job in a small Southern town where she recruits a group of lovable misfits in the hopes of training them to become a competitive squad. But getting this collection of underdogs to the nationals in the highly competitive world of junior college cheer might just be Courteney's toughest job yet.Stumble Cocktails:"We Can. We Will.
