Episode 8: This Sucks

Hotline Bling

In this episode, we discuss our morning routines, our dogs, and updates on our projects and shop setups. Mike introduces his new dust collector and the necessity of effective dust management for health, while Sam talks about transforming her completed basement into a training space. Jef considers building an outdoor dust collection system due to frustrations with his current setup. We highlight the harmful trend of fear tactics and shaming within the woodworking community, emphasizing the need for a supportive environment that encourages creativity and learning. We also discuss the negative impacts of online anonymity and sensationalist social media content, urging our listeners to support each other and promote positivity, especially towards new woodworkers. We also tease future shifts in our video content towards more storytelling.
