## Summary

Host Ben Strand and editors Mike Pekovich and Anissa Kapsales discuss woodworking techniques, starting with a hypothetical debate on which two joints one could use for a lifetime. They answer listener questions about milling lumber without a jointer and the safety of resawing on a tablesaw, ultimately advising against the latter due to safety concerns. The episode concludes with the hosts sharing their all-time favorite techniques, such as using clamping blocks for miters and shimming Domino joints, before wrapping up with lighthearted banter about tacos and sketchbooks.
