8. Reviewing Each Other's YouTube Channels 11.01.2018

3. The Episode About Jordan's Jointer Accident 07.12.2017

The night before this episode I got an email from Jordan saying he'd had an accident while using his jointer. So the original topic for the episode was put on hold and instead we walked through his experience of losing part of his finger, and used it as a learning exercise.

2. Using Timber Outdoors In Extreme Weather 07.12.2017

Here in our corner of the globe, Australia and New Zealand, we have some intense sun. Joey had a customer ask him to fix up an outdoor bench that was beyond repair because of the weather it had been through, so in this episode we discuss how you can keep you outdoor furniture looking good.

1. Introductions 07.12.2017
