The Other Half of My Shop
FlexiSpot is having its Prime Flash Sale, with up to 60% off!! It would be greatly appreciated if you could leave a note saying "The Wood Whisperer" at checkout and use my code YTE7P50 to get EXTRA $50 off on the E7 Plus/E7L standing desk! FlexiSpot E7 Plus standing desk: https://go.flexispot.com/TheWoodWhisperer-E7Plus FlexiSpot Prime Flash Sale: https://go.flexispot.com/TheWoodWhisperer-LP This old firehouse bay was supposed to be our maker space. Instead, it became storage for everything that didn’t fit in the main shop. So I cleared it out and started over. We added electrical and lighting, refinished old shop cabinets, moved the lumber storage, added workstations for the laser and 3D printer, built a filament storage rack, and finished the wall with shelving, lighting, and pegboard. The result is a much more useful home for our CNC, laser, 3D printing, and other maker projects.

The Can That Keeps Your Finish From Going Bad (Charity Auction) #shorts
Bloxygen has been in Marc's finishing cabinet for years. One quick spray of argon pushes the oxygen out of a half-used can of oil finish, varnish, or poly so it doesn't skin over before your next project. Bloxygen is a small, family-run company in San Luis Obispo, California, and they donated six 6-packs to Woodworkers for a Cause 2026. Every dollar goes to The Purple Heart Project, which puts woodworking tools and training in the hands of combat-wounded veterans. Bid on one of the six lots before the auction closes tonight, Saturday Oct 3 at 7pm CT: https://www.32auctions.com/wfc2026 More about the event: https://thewoodwhisperer.com/wfc #shorts #woodworking #woodfinishing #bloxygen #woodworkersforacause #purpleheartproject Free PDF plans, articles, and more: https://thewoodwhisperer.com Get new videos and shop news by email: https://thewoodwhisperer.com/newsletter/ LEARN WITH MARC Online woodworking classes: https://thewoodwhispererguild.com/marc/ Guild Stream: https://thewoodwhispererguild.com/product/subscription/ SUPPORT THE SHOW Channel membership perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKp44bWWZIiOPShPN_ytShw/join Patreon: https://patreon.com/woodwhisperer Tools Marc recommends: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thewoodwhisperer (Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/shop/thewoodwhisperer UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/thewoodwhisperer) As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Getting My Old Table Saw Back Was the Easy Part
Thanks to Carbon Method for supporting this video! Get 10% off at CarbonMethod.com with code SpagCoat. https://carbonmethod.com/carbon-coating-prep-kit/?ref=mjguvwfm Almost 10 years ago, my custom flame-painted Powermatic PM2000 left the shop as part of a charity auction. I assumed I'd never own it again. Then I got a message from Guild member Socheat. He'd had the saw for years, but his woodworking had gone in a different direction and the PM2000 had been sitting in storage. He wanted to find it a new home. Turns out that home was mine. Getting this thing back during our 20th year of The Wood Whisperer hit me harder than I expected. But before I could put it back to work, it needed some attention.
