Well after some work over the weekend, I've finally managed to work out all of the bugs that were haunting the podcast and it's communication with iTunes. So for those of you who have been long awaiting this day, it's finally here. You can now get the podcast through iTunes. I've also made getting there a little easier since it's been brought to my attention that the little widget provided by the podcast host that was supposed to make it easy to subscribe using iTunes doesn't work like it should. So instead, I've just put direct links on the Podcast page so you can click once and subscribe with iTunes or using the podcast's RSS feed. Thanks to everyone who has waited so patiently! Hope you enjoy the new feature!
 
 
The hand saws are the workhorses of the hand tool shop. They're used for just about every operation on just about every part of a project. So it's important to be able to saw accurately in order to be effecient. In this episode, I share three tips I've learned for making consistently more accurate saw cuts.

 
 

Well, it's been pretty slow with regards to shop time in the last three or four weeks and as a result the blog and podcast have been sitting pretty idle. We've been pretty busy lately with family events, some unexpected veterinary trips, a vacation that got cut short and getting outside to enjoy some of the nice weather we've finally gotten over the last couple of weeks here in the Northeast.

However, I got back in the shop this past weekend and knocked out a saw handle and hopefully will finally be getting the next podcast episode done this week as well. It's going to be all about sawing mechanics  and might be helpful to anyone who has been struggling with accurate sawing or for folks heading to Woodworking in America for the Hand Tool Olympics. I'm not going myself but for those who are, be sure to check out the WIA Pregame Show over at The Renaissance Woodworker and get practicing. By the looks of it, there's going to be some stiff competition at this year's events.

Good luck to all those participating in the events!

 
Email Troubles 07/08/2009
 

I'm not sure if it's my email or the site's contact form or if some folks are just not entering real email addresses in the contact form, but I have gotten several email replys I have written to folks returned to me as undeliverable in the last couple of weeks. So if you have been waiting for a reply from me and you have not received one, that is likely the reason why. I do read and reply to every email that I get so if you have sent an email with a question, a suggestion for the podcast or just to say "Hi" and I have not sent you any reply at all, even just to say "Thanks!", rest assured that I'm not ignoring your message. I definatly sent you a reply but if you didn't receive it then it got returend to me as undeliverable (Noel, your messages come to mind immediately as there have been several that were returned on a number of occasions).

If you haven't received a reply to an email you sent through the contact form, please try to resend it directly to my email instead of using the contact form. This way, when I reply to your message it will automatically go to the correct email address. You can send emails to logancabinetshoppe@verizon.net.

Thanks to everyone as well for all of the kind words you have sent on the podcast. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of positive feedback I've receive on the show. Things have been a little hectic lately but there should be a new episode up later this week.

Thanks!
