What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I found the podcast via YouTube and figured I’d browse and find a topic that was interesting. I listened to a couple episodes and it was a lot better than I had expected…. Like ALOT better. I didn’t intend on listening to more than a few episodes but now I’m working through the archive for a second time and itching for new episodes every day. You guys make sanding so much better.

David Rodes · Mar 2025

I love this show for its entertainment value, approachable-ness (sp?), and the insights to common woodworking conundrums that even I, a fledgling woodworker, experience frequently. Awesome show all-around and I pray every night that Marc, Shannon, and Matt never quit.

ukrlvivrm1 · Nov 2023

I’ll be honest: I had bypassed this podcast for a while, because of the sponsor. Which makes me a horrible snob, but so be it. Then I noticed that Shannon was one of the hosts. Shannon has become a favorite YouTube host, because my interest is mainly hand-tool woodworking, and I’ve learned a great deal from his teaching. I clicked on my first episode, and I’m hooked (currently on my fourth or fifth ep. in a row). I still can’t quite tell (yet)who is talking when (I’ll get there), but it’s all worthwhile, and the banter is (so far) an added treat. Keep up the good work; I’ll be listening!

mrChuck · Jun 2023

These guys are the absolute best! Not only are they informative, they really know their stuff, but they are hilarious and entertaining. The inside jokes going back to 2006 are priceless. Even though I am no where near their level, they make you feel like just one of the gang. Thank you Marc, Matt, Matt, and Shannon for everything you do in this space.

ArvadaWannaBeWoodwoker · Mar 2023

Have been trying this podcast out for a while now, started today’s episode and one of the hosts was berating a listener who gave feedback about lack of woodworking content. His response and attitude if you “don’t like it, don’t listen” to a listener was incredibly rude. So, I don’t like that attitude, therefore I won’t listen. Pity. Show isn’t half bad, but rude host made me unfollow and leave a negative review. Why not try being a little less rude next time?
