The One Where They Update The Enemies List | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 234
We are adding a few questionable corporations to our permanent $h!t list. We break down the absolute worst customer service experiences, from sunglasses trapping us in support-portal purgatory to banks willing to lose customers over a hot dog. We also take a hard look at the predatory nature of default opt-in check out options like shipping insurance and the ridiculousness of offering financing on a four-dollar purchase. It’s not all rage-bait though, we highlight a few local spots doing customer retention right by tossing in free kolaches. Deric talks us through the terrifying but satisfying process of diagnosing a fallen neutral line that was taking down half his circuit breakers every time he turned on the garbage disposal. Zac debates the merits of washing and reusing Home Depot Homer buckets, and Eric navigates the weird world of PayPal disputes and credit card scammers testing stolen numbers on his digital courses. Strap in, it's about to get weird.Got questions?

The One Where They Enshittify With Scott Walsh | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 233
Scott Walsh is hanging out with us again to tackle the creeping "enshittification" of modern woodworking machinery—because apparently, someone out there really thinks you need Wi-Fi and a touch screen on every tool. We wade into the completely rational and not-at-all-angry waters of using AI in your creative process, and debate the harsh reality that being an incredible craftsman doesn't automatically mean you have any business teaching other people how to build things.We also share some hard truths about restoring vintage iron with Evaporust, as, “Do you need a mega-shop?”, and the very real creator dilemma of turning down a free $4,000 CNC machine just so you can maintain creative freedom.Find Scott on YouTube at @ScottWalshWoodworking and on Instagram at @scottywalsh Got questions?

The One Where They Dream About Saws | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 232
We're missing Zac tonight, and despite the offers to get sponsored by an AI company, we will not be replacing him with an AI clone—unless they take our F*off price. We break down the real cost of chasing perfect video B-roll, the magic of using AI for lazy infomercial graphics, why everyone insists on trying to reinvent table saw safety and how some mistakes are permanent. We also dive into the new Harvey "Dream Saw" with its proximity sensors, SawStop's aggressive new bandsaw tech that will cost you an arm and a blade, and whether you actually need a Ferrari table saw to make good cuts. Plus, we talk 3D printing tolerances, IKEA furniture hacks(literally!), and why not all custom dust hose adapters are built the same (because manufacturers can't agree on what an inch and a half actually is). Grab a fresh seltzer and pull up a chair, it’s gonna go fast.Got questions?

The One Where They Buy Pink Hair | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 231
You won’t believe the ridiculous lengths we go to for a good shot—including Zac securing a suspicious amount of sparkly pink costume hair just to test out a robot vacuum. We cover a lot of ground, from Deric burning 6,000 calories doing yard work on the hottest day of the year in Texas, to the grim reality of completely losing all passion for a build the second it sits idle for more than a day. Zac is losing his mind, and voice, re-recording an entire 24-minute voiceover for his upcoming GameCube mod and Eric drops some serious opinions on the new Kreg joinery tool, The Edge, and whether it actually stands a chance against the Festool Domino. Meanwhile, Eric is trying to figure out how to mount a massive 16-foot reclaimed beam from the 1800s without entirely crushing his drywall, so he can get his shop floor back.Got questions?

The One Where They Lie About Their Age | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 230
We kick things off with a well-deserved grievance about heavy-breathing audiobook narrators before spiraling into the golden age of flipping Laserdiscs and debating if 4K Blu-rays are actually worth the hassle. Don’t worry, we talk shop at some point too. Zac shows off his new 3D-printed GameCube mod. We pull back the curtain on tool reviews—specifically stacking the $500 Kreg Edge against the $1400 Festool Domino—and why the first 30 seconds of a video are literally do-or-die for your retention graphs. Finally, we wrap up with the agonizing highs and spaghetti-filled lows of custom 3D modeling a fix for a shattered houseplant reservoir.Got questions?

The One Where They Vend It | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 229
We are diving headfirst into the latest YouTube monetization panic—because who doesn’t love casually discovering that the watch-hour requirements just doubled? We also tackle the wild conspiracy theories about "stealth ads" in videos. Spoiler alert: brands aren't paying us thousands of dollars to subtly show a product in our videos; they are control freaks and bureaucratic to the bone. Zac is knee-deep in his modern GameCube mod, complete with the iconic purple shell. Eric has morphed into a caffeinated, shipping and logistics machine, fulfilling his 3D-printed glue holder orders while dealing with customers and odd expectations. Meanwhile, Deric is trying to survive back-to-school season and asking the real questions: which 3D printing filament can actually survive a cycle in the dishwasher without melting onto your silverware?

The One Where They Print To Death | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 228
We’re back and somehow Deric survived driving through the absolute chaos of Midtown Manhattan without getting a single New York honk. While Deric was out dodging rats and locked-up CVS candy bars, Eric managed to accidentally launch a full-scale manufacturing facility in his closet. His new Glue Dock went so incredibly viral that he had to nearly buy out the local Best Buy's stock of 3D printers just to keep his head above water.We also dive into the drama surrounding the upcoming Kreg Domino clone—is it actually a Festool killer, or just a track saw situation all over again? Plus, we touch on why all of our hobbies are brutally expensive. Is Mattress Firm a money-laundering front? How to quiet down a 3D print farm before the vibrations drive you insane. Grab a drink, pull up a stool, and let’s get after it.Got questions?

The One Where They Klean Kanz | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 227
We dive headfirst into the ongoing nightmare of managing a 63,000-person email list and how sending out a free tool list is a surprisingly great way to figure out who is actually paying attention. Zac shows off his custom clear Nintendo Switch case, and we debate if it's better to 3D print it yourself or just pay a professional to do it.Things get a little unhinged as we confess to chopping up old, unneeded furniture projects for firewood rather than dealing with the hassle of passing them off. We also brainstorm a million-dollar neighborhood trash can cleaning business called "Klean Kans," but it might already be taken. We talk about the horrors of 3D printer maintenance after ignoring it for three years, and the sketchy science behind ozone generators. Finally, we vent about the absolute worst part of modern online shopping: the gamification of checkout screens and fake reward currencies. Got questions?
