The One Where They Design A Thong | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 240
We're here to tackle the pressing issues of our time: Instagram's confusing return to long-form video and why watching vertical Reels on your massive living room TV is a whole new level of brain rot. We also dive into Eric’s shockingly successful strategy for getting a 50% discount on a Grabo, and how Zac casually games the Amazon return system to build props with iPads. We stand tall on our tripod opinions, and confuse STL with 3MF files during our 3D printing talk. We cover the soul-crushing slog of writing voiceovers when the creative juice just isn't flowing, Deric's proud dad moment with his son building sets for the high school play, and we finally answer your top requested question: will any of us ever get face tattoos and gold veneers? #OffTheCutPodcast #MakerCommunity #3DPrinting #CreatorLife #TechTalk Got questions?

The One Where They Fake A Medical Emergency | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 239
We're tackling the real issues: managing multiple email accounts, modern parking apps and tight deadlines. Zac details his side hustle as an underground supplier of fake medical devices for TV, discovering new techniques in Fusion 360 and challenging his own skills to meet this short deadline. Eric challenges us to debate the sketchy ethics of free AI-driven software like the one taking a swing at Adobe's dominance. Deric gets real about battling the all too common imposter syndrome felt by most creators, while staring at himself during video edits. Stick around to the end to hear all about our massive, life-changing Amazon affiliate windfall… or fail.#MakerPodcast #3DPrinting #Fusion360 #VideoEditingGot questions?

The One Where They Go Metal | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 238
Deric took the week off, leaving Zac and Eric to hold down the fort. We're diving deep into Zac's newest obsession: desktop CNC milling. He's been trying to mill a custom copper water-cooling block for a PlayStation 5 mod and snapping plenty of bits along the way. We discuss the unique challenges of cutting metals like copper, the fluid dynamics of turbulent flow for better cooling, and the steep learning curve of finding the right feeds and speeds using budget bits off Amazon. We also share our skeptical excitement over Bambu Lab's newly announced 3D scanner. We vent about the headaches of cleaning up 3D scan meshes in Fusion 360, the nightmares of scanning shiny surfaces, we even debate old-school police radar jammers versus hanging a CD from your rearview mirror. Finally, we take a brief detour into a rumored AI-generated Adobe software clone.Got questions?

The One Where They Say No | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 237
We are tackling the harsh reality of desktop metal milling and the even harsher reality of doing favors for family. Zac is diving headfirst into the learning curve of his new desktop CNC mill, attempting to carve custom aluminum water blocks without turning his shop into a glitter bomb hazard zone. Meanwhile, Eric is fighting for his life against burned MDF edges and tiny laser-cut letters for a wedding sign side-quest that spiraled out of control. Deric shares a game-changing dowel jig epiphany using reference boards to outsmart the math. We debate the hidden genius of paint spouts, and discuss the ultimate woodworking superpower: looking someone in the eye and just saying "no" to a dining table commission. Got questions?

The One Where They Defraud The Government | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 236
We've got a packed shop this week, literally. Eric managed to cram his router so full of sawdust it might be reclassified as a dust collector, leading to a deep dive into the fatal design flaws of router table intakes. Zac spent days wrestling with forms for a $40k Canadian government creator grant, which naturally led us down a rabbit hole of how to hypothetically game the system and hire each other. We also tackle the massive implications of YouTube rolling out A/B testing for videos, not just thumbnails, and how it's about to completely turn our editing workflows upside down. Meanwhile, Deric is singing the praises of his new perfectly balanced DeWalt cordless sander while trying to reverse-engineer a doweling jig for a toy box project without breaking the bank. Pop in the earbuds, fire up the dust collector and hang out with us in the shop.Got questions?

The One Where They Rent Milk | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 235
We’re kicking things off with a collective wince as Deric details the agonizing slow-motion drop of his main camera while building a toy box. We debate whether shop cameras should be cared for like fine chisels or rental cars, coated in drywall mud and epoxy. Zac gives us the rundown on his ambitious plan to CNC mill a copper water block to overclock his new stripped-down PS5 hardware, which sparks a massive debate on digital media.We discuss the very real possibility of subscription models creeping into our power tools. Do meal kit deliveries save money or is navigating the grocery store better. Is dropping thousands of dollars upfront to escape monthly software fees forever better? Why do tool batteries always seem to brick themselves right when you need them the most?Got questions?

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?
