TRANSCRIPT
Host: Welcome to woodworking on the radio! We'll be covering lots of great products and techniques on our show, and we hope you tune in on your radio dial every week! And now, with no further ado, let's get started on our first project, the stunning piece designed in the style of who's-a-what's-it.
Woodworker 1: Yeah. I really like his work.
Host: That piece over there is in the same style, isn't it?
Woodworker 1: Yep. Sure is.
Host: OK, back to today's topic. What can you tell us about today's project?
Woodworker I: Well, I think the most important aspect of a project to me is wood selection. The grain makes a statement to me, and I try to work with it as much as possible for everything I do.
Host: And this piece has some great grain! Look at that book-matching! It's just a stunning effect!
Woodworker I: Oooo!
Host: Aaah!
Host: And can you tell us how you built this part over here?
Woodworker 1: Sure, let's just go over to the band saw.
[noise of walking sounds]
[some noise of clattering]
Woodworker 1: First, I built a jig that's really helpful. You just use this doohickey—
Host: You mean this thingamajig?
Woodworker 1: No, the whatchamacallit. And then you use the jig and the saw together [increasingly loud saw noise obscures rest of sentence]
Host: Wow! That was amazing! Is there anything else in particular we should know about this project?
Woodworker I: Yes. It's vitally important that you always use THIS router bit when you're building this. It might be easy to confuse it with others in your collection, but don't. Always use THIS one.
Host: That's good advice. And so is this shop safety tip: when you're pushing wood through a saw, do it this way [saw noise obscures voice]•.and that's what you'll want to remember. Speaking of remembering, can you sum up for all of our new listeners what they should take away from today's show?
Woodworker I: Just remember: if you can see it in your mind's eye, you can build it! Keep on visualizing your dreams come true!
