## Summary

Megan Fitzpatrick of Lost Art Press joins Vic Tesla and Ben to discuss woodworking techniques, including how to drill angled holes on a drill press without losing squareness, and the best materials for building a bathroom vanity in a humid environment. The group also debates the nuances of creating camber on plane irons, recommending simple corner-knocking over complex radiuses, and clarifies that dog holes for workbenches should be drilled straight, with the angle applied to the dogs themselves. Finally, they share favorite tools, such as the Lucian Avery Scorp and a Harbor Freight countersink, and discuss the utility of tail vices.
