Great easy listening

Really enjoy the show folks. I've been woodworking for a few years now but my work isn't exactly fine so I enjoy hearing the different philosophies on woodwork as much as the technical stuff.
You were talking about 'Blown away' and other creative shows and I thought of 'Good with wood', the British answer to those sorts of shows. I enjoyed it, give it a whirl.
Sometimes I'd like a 5 second explanation of a new idea or technique you mention, such as a new acronym or joinery method, but this is more reflective of my level than the podcast.
Keep up the good work, Rob from Adelaide, Australia.

Great show

Love the podcast, started a month or so ago and been working my way backwards through the old shows - about to leave the Ben era :(
Just signed up to a year of the unlimited membership for FWW. I wanted to support the show and think this is great value, I look forward to tackling a project over the Christmas break.
Would be great if you could get someone on talking about Australian timbers...a lot of great hardwoods over here but many are really dense and hard to work so some pointers and advice from and expert would be awesome!

Surprisingly interesting and helpful

Like others, I wasn't sure how good a podcast about such a visual topic could be. It turns out the answer is - very! While binge-listening through the entire series, I've picked up some great tips for my current work, as well as some that will help me with future purchases and techniques.
