The One Where They Enshittify With Scott Walsh | Off The Cut Podcast Episode 233

September 13, 2026·1h 22m
Episode Description from the Publisher

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?
