In this episode of Whatcha Making, hosts Alex Duffey (Duffey Woodcraft) and Alex Adams (Type A Furniture) answer rapid-fire questions, share shop updates, and announce an every-other-week podcast schedule.
- Show Updates: A shift to a bi-weekly schedule Starting End of August.
- On the Bench & Selling:
- Alex Adams prints a 30+ hour Stormtrooper helmet (selling two in 72 hours), designs a custom bifold TV cabinet, pitches 3D-printed popcorn buckets to a local business, and recaps a wild fly-fishing trip in Colorado that included pea-sized hail and getting stuck in knee-deep mud.
- Alex Duffey restocks market inventory, scores a massive bulk discount on laser plywood from his local lumber yard manager, and completes a rush order for 50 Sasquatch figurines after a bride bought his entire stock for wedding centerpieces.
- What You're Breaking: Troubleshooting laser-etched paint-filled shot glasses, replacing worn printer PTFE tubes and nozzles, and a tag-team wasp-spraying misfire on a hollow metal horse statue.
- Maker Shoutouts: Features on @tracy_and_mac, @outer_woods, @clevercarver, @mauldinwoodwork, @cullenwaywoodturning, @woodshopdiaries, @omarbuildsit, and @stickrubberwoodworks.
- Rapid Fire Q&A: Quick debates on Walnut vs. Maple, hand vs. power tools, sandpaper preferences, pet peeves, and harmless ways to "haunt" a friend's woodshop.
