Email/Comments
Stu Morrison – Hey guys,
What are your views on CNC routers in traditional wood shops and would you consider this kind of tool (CNC router/ laser) to be a help or a hindrance to your work flow? I have been binge listening to the show over the past few days and I’m hearing at least one thing during each show that makes me want to go check out what you’re doing on each of your individual pages. Think there might be a collective Facebook page for the show where I could look at all of it at once in the future?
Davis Farris – Hey Sean, Kyle, and Brian,
I love listening to the show. Great content and I always seem to learn something.
I have a question for Brian. Where’s the complete guitar?!?! I’m dying. I mean, I that’s how I found you in YouTube, looking for guitar builds, and I was so excited. Then, I was let down. Alright, alright, alright, maybe I’ve gone overboard. But seriously, I’d like to even see some shots of the finished product if video is out of the question. If Brian didn’t mention the harbor freight rasps I probably would have forgot.
Regardless, I’ll still watch and follow each of you and continue listening to The Dusty Life. Keep on living the dusty life!
