Ep. 152 | A Tapered Pill and A Square Barrel?

Keith and Jason fly solo (or duo, actually) again this week and have a lot to catch up on. Jason recounts his trip to Buffalo Trace to build a barrel stave whiskey cabinet (you can still buy raffle tickets here: https://kmtools.com/products/handcrafted-weller-millenium-whiskey-barrel-cabinet ) and then back to the shop where he has a run-in with a water line. Keith has begun work on his new/reclaimed dining table and has some issues with the tapered, elongated pill shaped base. And even more stuff!

Ep. 151 | A Misplaced Hole and a Busted Pinky
Keith and Jason screw up everything this week, from a freak shop injury that derails Keith's next big build to a costly drilling mistake on a door Jason spent days making. Keith breaks down what the finished coffee bar cabinets actually cost and compare it to Jason's surprisingly pricey shop bathroom door. We also discuss cabinet lighting, how to structure multi-part YouTube builds, and YouTube's new way of counting views. Oh, and Jason's shop addition is hermetically sealed like an iron lung.
