Kickback
Last episode we had a question from Simon about loss of grip strength and how he should deal with it. We got some good suggestions:
- Brian suggests "Hand-i-craft" also has nerve damage in their hand, leading to them coming up with some interesting approaches to woodworking: https://www.youtube.com/@hand-i-craft
- Tommaso suggests: check out Essential Craftsman channel, he has a friend he works with who is an exceptional woodwork. The guy suffered a stroke and lost control of his dominant side, and theres a few videos on how he's dealing with it.
- Marc suggests @delbasidtimbers on IG - https://www.instagram.com/delbasidtimbers/
- Butch is impressed by how hard we work when we are actually getting paid to do the show.
Listener Questions
- Tom is making small, 3" ish circles with a router and template and seeks advice on a safe and clean way to do it. Marc suggests a sanding jig instead of a router and referenced this video from Bob Lang: https://youtu.be/m6FfXUAPx1w?si=XuydD01MByNN83DH
- John is building a workbench and asks about getting quartersawn material vs flatsawn material.
- Brandon is looking for a resource to help him identify trees so he can buy logs and know what he is getting.

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.
