If you have listened to my old podcast, you know that when I stopped recording it that I had a major crash of my laptop.  Well, recently, I was able to get it repaired without losing any of the old files or data that it contained.  Those files include the old Patron Extra podcasts, which, unfortunately for my old Patrons, were lost when the Patreon account was closed.  However, now that I have recovered those old files, I am happy to be able to re-release those old podcasts and add them to the archive here on the site for everyone. So today, I offer the Patron Extra podcast from April 2017.  In this show, I talk about some ways that you can get out of your comfort zone and take your woodworking to the next level.

HTT046 – Work Holding

Excellent

Bob has been in the game a long time, and does a great job passing on his extensive knowledge of, “hand work.” Almost more importantly, Bob seems to be a nice guy, and is very responsive to listener questions and show topic ideas. I’ve been listening since almost day one, and I won’t be stopping soon. Thanks, Bob!
