I just ran through it, only takes a couple of minutes. I got 31 out of 35. One answer I would strongly protest but it is what it is.

I work with Redwood a lot and still said Teak just for the Maritime relationship.

Balsa also got me Embarrassed

You think balsa, you think soft.
I think Yew, I think Bow for shooting arrows

I also missed the sandpaper question about ceramic, garnet, etc.
and lastly I missed the one about who was called the Hemingway of hardwood, not a freaking clue.
And who calls him that anyway Undecided

Reply #7 - Apr 25^th, 2021 at 8:00am OK, got 30 out of 35. Missed the types of nails, wood veneer (can't you have the veneer of softwood?), missed "Hemmingway", Granny tooth, wood grade. Thought select was better than FAS. I would have thought a granny tooth would be a rasp, not a router. Glenn J.

Also got 31/35. Missed the ones with peoples names. Never heard of anyone being called the Hemingway of hardwood. Also missed the TPI one. Have been doing some threading and tapping last few days and immediately thought of threads per inch.

Side note, I broke a 10-32 tap and went to HD to get another. They have almost stopped selling taps. They had one each of four different sizes on the wall. Plus a couple small sets. They had a 10-32 so I was okay, but the other three sizes were oddballs. One being a 7mm something.

That was an interesting read on your Lignia link Ed.

Reply #14 - Apr 29^th, 2021 at 10:45am Joe, good idea seeing as how this season might be the last. It's been on for 18 seasons. The Gibbs boat in the basement is the ongoing "Gag" of sorts..how does he get it out of there. Suddenly, the basement is empty and he is starting another boat, yet there is no visible way to get it out of there.
