## Summary

Ed Pirnik, Mike Pekovich, and Matt Kenny of Fine Woodworking discuss the construction of a new timber-frame studio set and a humorous visa email from a consulate employee who reads the magazine. They answer listener questions on resawing damaged maple bowling alley lanes, choosing safe paste wax solvents, and troubleshooting table saw alignment. The hosts also debate the merits of bandsaw riser blocks and explain the technical differences between bookmatching and slipmatching wood grain.
