The Latest Woodshop 101: Risk Taking

Jeremy Crawford and Drew Short allowed me to join them for Episode #60 of Woodshop 101 Podcast. This time the topic was on taking risk, in particular, business risk.

I thought this was a great topic since the conversation of starting a business usually revolves around the easy topics such as the passion and time management. 

These are good things to talk about for sure, but the difficult subject of business risk is often avoided. I think it's because facing the tough truth can seem like a downer, and the pep talk subjects are easy and fun.  

In our talk on business risk we cover how to assess risk and some things you can do to manage risk. Jeremy has made a great risk assessment list you can use to determine your own level of risk for starting a business. You will want to be sure and check that out as well when you listen to the episode.  

I want to thank Jeremy and Drew for having me on. You can find them each at their own websites.

Cutting Small Parts On The Miter Saw

In this video I share how I cut small parts on the miter saw. 

I am sure this one will be cause for active commentary from the safety police and maybe the hand tool junkies for not using a fancy hand saw to cut small pieces. 

Well, this is the way I do it in the American Craftsman Workshop. Because if the tool doesn't make any noise and throw a rooster tail of sawdust, how am I supposed to know that any work is getting done?

Hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful;)
