Matthew Royer – Completely enjoy your pod cast fella’s!  I’m never sure what I’m going to hear!  Question, how often do you have a sharpening day in your shops?  Is it a regular thing or as needed?  Do you sharpen just what do you need or make a day of it?
Thanks again and keep up the great content.

Elliot Trent – Hey Guys, hope you’re well!  It’s me again from whimsical England.  Just to chime in with a suggestion to get a machine shop to flatten your planes, its by far the best method!  Ray Iles over here in the UK (Ashley’s brother) offers this service.  He will even sell you a restored plane with the sole flattened and one of his after market irons for around 50-60 pounds.  I’ve put a fancy Veritas straight edge to the ones he has flattened and they are among the flattest in my collection of LN and LV!  Great show!!

Rob Grow – Hi Guys,
Woodworkers Source has a YouTube Video on finishing mixed (Sap/Heart) Walnut.  Looks like it is just what John was looking for.
I enjoy the show and appreciate the differing points of views you share.  Keep up the good work.

Rvicic – 5 Stars – Imagine a world in which guitars were actually completed, no one was immature enough to turn inappropriate objects on their lathes, or internet connections weren’t destroyed by the cruel cruel ocean.  It is a sad, sad world.  Now imagine the opposite of that, you’ll have The Dusty Life guys, 2 of which are awesome, the 3rd is meh, but I won’t tell which.  In all actuality, it’s pretty great and worth a listen.
