It’s show #582 - On today’s show, we’re talking about tear out on cherry, stock prep time savings: planer or jointer, and there’s bugs in my nut wood.

Woodcraft is looking out for you guys. Do you know how?
They want to make sure you know what to expect when it comes to this whole tariff debacle. Because tariffs are obviously going to impact a LOT of the major power tool purchases woodworkers make in the foreseeable future.
So while details and dates are somewhat fluid, here are the most current timelines:
- JPW (that’s Jet and Powermatic): June 15th
- Laguna - July 1st
- Sawstop - Mid-July
Woodcraft is trying to be as transparent as possible and they’ll be sending out emails about this in the future. Bottom line is, prices are going up. Woodcraft didn’t set the prices so don’t shoot the messenger.
So if you’re in the market and were thinking about making a major purchase, it probably behooves you to do it now.
In fact, here’s one better. When you go to woodcraft.com, you’ll get a little popup offering you a discount for signing up for their newsletter. Do it, because you can save 10% off your first order. Exclusions apply so you’ll want to read that fine text but hey, a discount’s a discount.

What's on the Bench
- Marc has found his epoxy redemption and completed the mantel project.
- Shannon has started demo on his new deck.
- Matt is fixing stuff...then breaking it again.
Kickback
- Steve Goldberg has Japan feedback for Steve Goodloe. He recommends the Takenaka Carpentry Museum in Kobe, the Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu. Check out the Nakashima exhibit upstairs. Finally seek out the local craft shops and talk to the woodworkers. He found a shop called Inoue Hamono in Tokyo. The family/owners were friendly and helpful and I brought a dovetail chisel back to America.
Listener Questions
- Drew was making a breadboard tenon and got some tearing along the baseline with his brand new straight router bit and asks why.
- Misha has short time in his shop like most of us and is looking to save time on stock prep but not wanting to buy both a jointer and a planer. Does he buy a planer or jointer? Can he get by with a planer alone? He does point out a pretty slick planer sled jig on Instagram.
- Steve has inherited some Butternut that was air dried and has some signs of bugs. What should he do with the material?

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
