Stuart jinxed me! On the recent Wonderfest episode, seconds after Stuart mentioned getting your Xacto knife impaled on your leg I found mine sticking out of my calf! What kind of voodoo does Stuart practice up there in the great white north? Yikes!
Despite the danger, I’ll keep listening. You guys do a super job and are great companions for my workbench. I know it takes a lot of time but us lonely basement and attic modellers really appreciate it. Just try to lay off the black magic though!
