Stein – Hi! I was listening to TDL 006, and heard your suggestions for jointing. I would add that you can do this all with any of the bench planes, for instance a No. 4 or 5. Paul Sellers has videos on what you need to make the plane work, and how to flatten and joint the wood. I have done my woodworking this way for ~2 years now, it works just fine. Also, Shannon Rogers on youtube has an interesting method he calls hybrid milling, where he combines hand planes with a planer. It’s worth checking out.
Thanks, and keep up the good work.

iTunes Ratings
SeattleSocial – 5 Stars: I really enjoy your casual style, you guys mesh very well together. I enjoy the podcast very much. One suggestion is to prep and get on the same page for topics and who is going to cover what before recording. It’s great and you guys are learning, just wanna help you guys sound as professional and polished as you can!
Bwirthlin – 5 Stars: By my own admission, I’m not a big consumer of podcasts. I just don’t seem to find the time to listen to them. I have most definitely made an exception for The Dusty Life! I have enjoyed the progression of the show so far and can’t wait to see where they take it in the future. The hosts are awesome and all have their own different take on woodworking, so combined they make up a great group. Keep up the great work guys!
