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?

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.

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?

Sarah

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?

Hello guys and gal, not looking to start a war over finishing, but this one is for Kara, what’s your favorite way of finishing your amazing boards? Any tips of tricks for the rest of us when it comes to finishing?

Eric Markvicka
Dan, really excited to hear you're looking at selling your ZCIs at a physical location. Two questions, 1) why not bow ties as well, and 2) I'd like to hear more about selling in a physical location, such as how is your packaging changing for selling at a physical location versus Etsy, how will your item be displayed, and how are you going to educate the buyer about your product?

Malcolm
Bossanova Woodworks
I made a cutting board for a friend years ago when I was much more of a noob woodworker. They showed me recently that one part of the cutting board had mold on it, so they bleached it based on some crappy advice they found on the internet.
Have you ever had a cutting board that you built get mold on it after heavy usage? This thing is probably 3 years old and she loves it and wants me to salvage it but it’s just going to be replaced at this point.

Whats on our bench: 🎶

Dave is working on an eBike project, making a giant pez dispenser, and got a new sewing machine.

Dan has Etsy keeping him busy, he's putting some new storage, troubleshooting his dust collection, adding a clamping system on his assembly table, and prebuilding some tables.

Braden is wrapping up the kitchen island, needs to apply finish on location, and figuring out the butcher block counter.

Pete cleaned up his shop, handles a ton of admin stuff to kick off the new year, and is officially out of room in his print shop because he added an A1 printer to the shop.

Do you guys use both side of your 3d printer plates?

Thomas

latelieraboie

I wonder, have you ever like, questioned yourself for days before buying yourself a tool ? I can’t help myself but wonder for ever do I really need it ? Isn’t it a lot of money ? I wait and ponder until my brain is like Seven sizzling sausages in a sauce pan.

So, am I only one?

Thomas

latelieraboie

Last time I was speaking with my wife about an idea for a lamp, like a big bedside lamp I wanted to make and sell of course. I asked her should I add a hidden drawer, because why not ? And she asked if I studied the market for this kind of product. It made me wonder, do you study the market before selling an item ? Is it really necessary or couldn’t we just consider it like art and it doesn’t need a real use or function ?

Sarah
