The Three Splinters Podcast

We've all heard lots of podcasts that talk about their favorite tools. Boring. Jason turned this topic on it's head and wanted to talk about what tools we have that we could likely do without (even though we don't want to!)

Ben is FINALLY wrapping up his last semester at school. Sedge is feeling 'Ducky' (a Canadian term), and Jason goes full in getting his new shop set up.

Ben goes off the handle about his Fuji gravity gun while Jason and Sedge talk about their trip to JLC!

Sedge quit the podcast, so Ben and Jason decided to get really intimate with each other. Wait, what? Special thanks to everyone that submitted questions this week! @manciniwoodworking: What advice can you give to those that nit pick their own work?

There are some woodworking project that teach the fundamentals of woodworking. Jason, Ben, and Sedge break down projects they think are suited for new woodworkers that want to learn lifelong skills to build projects that last a lifetime.

Industry veteran Ken Decost comes on as our guest host. We talk about the difference between face frame and frameless cabinets, Ken's origin story, the Hivebook and much more!

Most modern woodworkers have turned to YouTube to learn the fundamentals of building, however there are some valuable resources available to all on the internet. The boys discuss their favorite 'go-to' websites for all things woodworking related.

The boys come back from WorkBenchCon 2022 a little hoarse, hungover and eager for the next one! 

Every 5 episodes, we take feedback from the community and drop it all down in one big show! In our longest community episode yet, Hans makes his longest appearance for yet another segment of #getBent.  We appreciate all the amazing people that have decided to join in on our growing podcast community and we could do this without all of you! Thank you!!

Special thanks to our patron Jerry from GA Woodwhop for sponsoring this episode!!!  Jerry wanted brought up a great question: what processes do we go through before making the decision to drop some serious cash on a serious tool?

Everyone's favorite woodworking task, sanding!! Sanding shouldn't be that much of a time sink (unlesss you have a LOT of material to get through) if you follow a few critical points. We share our experience, knowledge and tips on how to get the most out of sanding without taking too much time. 

Ben finally gets his hands on a brand new Festool TSC 55 KEB (cordless tracksaw) and is convinced that cordless power tools are the future, at least for his shop.
