A small correction from this morning — and it's in your favor

Table of Contents

A quick note on this morning’s essay.

We had the Pantorouter discount code and amount slightly wrong. The correct code is BOGGSBENCHPR and it takes $200 off the purchase price, not $150.

One important detail — the code only works when you purchase through boggsbench.com, not on the Pantorouter website directly.

We’ve updated the essay but if you read it from your inbox this morning, now you have the right information.

If you’ve been curious about the Pantorouter, this is a good moment. Mac Sheldon has done remarkable work with it and Brian trusts it enough to stake his joinery on it. You can find it at boggsbench.com.

We hope you enjoyed the essay.
