The Woodworking Podcast

From Podcast to Workshop Blog

The Woodworking Podcast started as exactly that — a podcast that ran from 2016 to 2019. Today thewoodworkingpodcast.com carries the name forward as a workshop blog: choosing tools that earn their bench space, picking the right joint for the job, understanding wood movement, and finishing a project so it lasts.

To be straight about how the site works now: it's a curation effort, not a furniture shop documenting every build. The guidance here draws on tool manufacturer specifications, reference works on joinery and finishing, species data from sources like The Wood Database, and the collective experience of communities such as r/woodworking. When we quote a glue's open time, a species' Janka hardness, or a recommended blade, it comes from those references rather than a single workshop's logbook.

Woodworking involves sharp tools, dust, and finishes with real hazards. Follow your tools' and materials' safety instructions, wear the right protection, and treat manufacturer guidance as the final authority.
