Customer Reviews
What a Good Show This Was!
I enjoy the show every week (I listen in the iOS app, usually). The different perspectives and personalities of the hosts create an hour that is full of superb content, but is also encouraging, relaxing, and gently funny. Speaking of funny, I applaud the addition of Vic Tesolin, whose energy and quick brain are a match for his humor (should I say “humour? I mean, he’s Canadian…). This week, however, having just the “old gang” of Ben, Mike P., and Anissa, was near-perfect. Anissa, who is warm, genial, direct-while-self-effacing, might be my favorite, but the contributions of all the hosts work together to make a show that is both a pleasure to listen to, and instructionally serious about woodworking.
[edit] I want to add that it is due to this show that I’ve become aware of the many women woodworkers out there who contribute so much to this hobby/profession. I’m aware, because you give them visibility.
Great Show
Love love Ben and crew who put this one on. Not pretentious at all and they are great at answering listeners questions without taking themselves too seriously.
Another Great Resource from FWW
I subscribed to the first edition and the first year of Fine Woodworking Magazine in 1975. Almost 50 years later, I continue to enjoy and learn from top-notch woodworkers who are also great instructors. Nowadays, in addition to the print magazine, there is an extensive body of online resources—-articles, archives, video series and plans. And if that weren’t good enough, I can now enjoy listening to my favorite woodworking gurus while out for a hike or driving in the car. I really enjoy the casual approach that Ben Strano and his “guests” take on the podcast which is a nice contrast to the much tighter production of the magazine and online presentations.
