## Summary

Vic, Ben, and new co-host Amanda Russell discuss woodworking techniques, including resawing thin boards to prevent bowing, adjusting hand plane mouths for tear-out control, and building knock-down workbenches. They also share personal 'smooth moves' and mistakes, such as Vic cracking a guitar heel and Amanda using a curved router base for concave surfaces. The episode highlights the importance of understanding wood mechanics via Bruce Hoadley's book and adapting to imperfect architectural spaces during trim carpentry.
