    2025/06/27
    • Ross just returned from a blazing hot New York City vacation where temperatures hit 102 degrees for three days straight making 74 degree Chicago weather feel almost chilly when he got back home
    • Episode title Deep Purple Heart came from listener Lee Drummond of Dusted Knuckle Woodworks who suggested awesome band name wood species combinations and this one was absolutely perfect
    • Colton spotted his neighbor Mo using a completely insane setup with a table saw blade mounted on a weed eater edger attachment which screams OSHA violation but apparently works great for cutting small trees

  • Ep 106: The Beech Boys
    2025/06/13
    • The trio dove headfirst into cheese heaven, debating everything from snacking favorites (smoked gouda and sharp cheddar winning) to grilled cheese perfection, with Jess championing pepper jack for turkey sandwiches and everyone agreeing fake American cheese rules for grilled cheese.
    • Colton shared major life updates from his move to the countryside outside Houston, complete with deer rescues, flooded shop plans, and last-minute prep for baby arrival while still renovating both the new homestead and old house for sale.
    • Jess vented about contractor headaches and door installation nightmares, including grinding concrete to fit doors and dealing with subs who claim they know drywall but clearly don't, all while juggling multiple job sites in the Florida heat.
    • Ross tackled an insane 10-day table build challenge - a 10-foot oval tulip-base dining table with sashiko burning and Rubio black finish for a restaurant client who disappeared for six weeks then suddenly needed it yesterday.
    • The Wood of the Week featured Lemonwood, a Cuban hardwood prized for archery bows and fishing rods due to its incredible flexibility and 1880 Janka hardness rating, plus its Brazilian cousin that clocks in at a whopping 3460 on the hardness scale.
    • Jess unleashed a brilliant wordplay trivia game where players had to find the missing word that connected two phrases (like "dining...sauce" = table for "dining table" and "table sauce"), keeping everyone on their toes with woodworking-themed brain teasers.
    • Ross delivered his top 5 whiskeys under $100 by region, from Japanese Hibiki Harmony to Kentucky's Peerless Double Oak Bourbon, perfect timing for Father's Day gift ideas with detailed explanations of what makes each special.
    • The nugget section covered everything from spray foam insulation debates for pier and beam houses to self-retracting ratchet straps and quality buzzy blades, proving practical shop wisdom never goes out of style.
