## Summary

Host Ben Strana and editors Mike Pekovich and Jeff Rose are joined by Bob Van Dyke, director of the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking, to answer listener questions on sharpening, wood movement, and glue application. Bob explains why horsebutt leather prevents honing compound from flaking off and discusses the mechanics of case-hardened wood twisting after resawing. Mike Pekovich advocates for gluing only one surface of an edge joint for speed and reduced skinning, while Bob shares his experience of discovering dry spots when relying on that method. The group also covers safety protocols for using large jointers and shares 'All Time Favorite Techniques,' including Bob's grain-matching repair and Ben's saw-bench ramp stabilizer.
