Episode 5 - Shop Aprons, Advice on Getting Started, Sanding vs. Planing & More!

Guy's Questions: 1) Sanding vs planing finish. Is there really a big difference? Submitter: aeumber Marc's YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC45Cb-p89I 2) Concerning table saw safety. How wide should the board be before you stop using a push stick and start using your hands? Submitter: Tabb Adams Sean's Questions: 1) Everyone podcast has discussions of the woodworker’s favorite tool. But most of the answers are hundreds if not thousands of dollars (cough cough saw stop). Many of us do not have the means to purchase those tools. So, what is your favorite tool under $50? How does it excel and what are its limitations? Submitter: Rusty_Keyboard 2) Hey guys. I plan to buy a SawStop for my garage shop. I’d really want to get the 3hp professional model. I’ll also need to buy a dust collector, and I’m looking at the Oneida mini gorilla or Jet cyclone (to be connected by flex hose to one tool at a time, no duct work). My issue is that I only have a single 220 volt outlet. Should I get a the 3hp/220v saw with a 1.5 hp/110v dust collector or the 1.75 hp/110v saw with a 2hp/220v dust collector? Thanks for your advice. Submitter: David Huy's Questions: 1) in reference to shop aprons/vests/tool belt/baby sling(ha, been there on that one) ?? What is the preference of each of you? Is it related to the task at hand or general comfort? I've gone to a waxed canvas tool apron, durable but still light. Just enough to hold a small tape, square and any marking tools needed at that time. Curious on how you all approach it. Thanks. Submitter: Wesley 2) where do you start? A keen interest but an empty (basic tools) garage/woodshop.  Submitter: mcsegel
