Chuck & Glen, and sometimes a surprise guest, all have their own opinions. Sometimes they agree and sometimes they don’t, but the conversation is always information packed and lots of fun.<br> If you have topics you’d like to hear covered in future episodes, click <a href="mailto:360@360woodworking.com">here</a> to send an email to the guys.<br> Shiplap or Half-Lap Joints<br> Sometimes woodworking terms can be confusing, like shiplap and half-lap joints.
