They answer listener questions on bandsaw dust collection methods, project documentation strategies using binders and photos, and how to cut dadoes without a dado blade using a router or curve maker. The episode also covers troubleshooting a glue line failure on a maple desktop caused by localized heat from a gaming laptop.
