    To boil this down, catches are not a result of tool shape. That's why hand skills are necessary. Tool companies try to convince you that they have the fix, but they don't make the craftsman.

    Tell me how he knows the wood will be 10% because of his storage conditions. He has a running humidity and temperature recorder in his shop?

    Prevent is a strong word, since it implies no changes ever. I've never heard of any product that would prevent a color change from UV light. Same goes for saying it is very light fast. Bihn Pho used...

    I can't offer a comment on the possibility of a metal rod being inserted during construction without seeing a few close up pictures. If two boards were resaw and book match glued up, the glue line...

    Thoroughly dry doesn't mean anything. You need to test it with a moisture meter to know how dry it really is. No two boards ever act exactly the same. If I make snug drawers, I only use quarter sawn...

    I've never seen a pressure treated board, kiln dried or not, remain straight enough for making windows. Just how much cheaper are DIY? Weatherstripping sure will be a challenge.
