Questions:
Evan Passo
Do you think I should make the trip and postpone the purchase of the saw for another couple months? Or should I go ahead with the purchase of the saw and plan on attending WorkbenchCon2026 or even another woodworking convention later in 2025?

Alex Adams
Type A Furniture

Patrick Gensel

Brandy, you have such a recognizable brand, have you ever considered licensing your products to boutiques that share your style? If not, what is your roadmap for your business going forward?

Jeff Hanke
Brandy, you've talked about the stresses of moving into a big shop, Dan talks about always being behind on orders, Braden makes one thing a year, and Pete is perfect.. but how do you guys deal with those little shop stresses?

Like when I get a text from a customer asking where their piece is that they've been waiting on for 8 months. Do you have mid day meditation breaks? Mid day medication breaks? Leave the shop and clear your mind? Or work on something else?

Whats on our bench: 🎶

Pete got his delivery of ice climbing tools, started processing and assembling them, recovering from getting sick, and working on taxes.

Dan is getting ready to send his products out to WTB woodworking, and he’s recovering from being sick.

Braden had a crazy work week, has to wrap up the drawers for the kitchen island build, and built a smart home assistant with a raspberry pi.

Questions:

Greg D'ambrosio

How has creating content changed you?

Alex Adams

Type A Furniture

Would you put a blade stabilizer on a contractor saw?

We lost power the other day. When that happens to you guys, do you try to make it work or do you relax?

Thomas G

How do you prioritize fun projects in the shop?

Accountability-buddy here…Braden where is your youtube video?

Dustin

Shop Humble

Whats on our bench: 🎶

Pete did nothing, work has been super stressful and it's been cold. But he did get a bunch of his “hard” admin tasks done.

Dan put in some work in the shop making it more optimized, cleaned up some laser fume extraction, replaced his CNC spoilboards, and shipped some insert samples to Bill over at WTB woodworking to try in his store.

Braden printed a giant version of Pete’s head, wrapping up a set of night stands, and got some work done on the kitchen island.

Questions:

Joe Offcut Emporium

What are your tips for buying lumber from lumber yards?

Alex Adams

Type A Furniture

When filling holes with epoxy, how do you pop the bubbles?

What are you looking for the most at WBC? What do you recommend for people going for the first time?

Sarah

Rosie's Woodshop

How do I keep warm in the shop and maximize my space?

Jeff Hanke

Maker’s Way

I know we all wait too long to empty our dust collectors, but how often do you boys clean your saw blades?

Do you clean them all at the same time? Table saw, miter saw, Radial arm saws, track saw? Or do you wait until the cut is so bad, that you screw up a whole project?

Also, do you set a recurring day for shop maintenance including saw blade cleaning, dust collection emptying, putting new duct tape on tools to hold them together, cleaning laser mirrors, etcetera?

Jake Miller

What is the best thing you have done for your shop for organization?

What is the coolest thing you’ve seen in another person’s shop?
