We are back with episode 188, Eric, Zac and Deric share their latest building blunders, biggest pet peeves and judge your house.
Eric shares the dramatic tale of his oversized, custom-built closet cabinets. Due to the unexpected density of his plywood , the cabinets were nearly 300 pounds. In a wild twist of measuring tape versus reality, he had to whip out his multi-tool and literally cut a hole in ceiling just to get the final piece wedged into the closet!
Zac dives back into his custom desk PC build, detailing his struggle with a new, wider graphics card creating clearance issues in his drawer. Can he find a specialty, low-profile drawer slides to save the project and avoid taking a belt sander to a $2,500 GPU?
We get down and dirty discussing the things that stand out and kinda bug us when visiting someone else's home. Don’t worry, we would never say anything to your face, just our podcast audience.

Eric gets the cops called on him while attempting to repair his iPhone 12 mini, Zac calls the cops on his neighbors and Deric has to pick a new tool right now or else Eric and Zac are going to call the cops on him!
Cut too:
The 3D Printing Market: Debating the difference between the Bamboo Lab X1C and P1S/P2S printers; noting the X1C seems to be running sales to clear out inventory, suggesting a new model may be coming
A Planned Computer Upgrade: After spending about $4,000 on parts for a new, powerful computer to install in his desk, Zac admits it's likely in the territory of diminishing returns, but necessary to make his new video special
Tool Purchases and Desires: We speculate on tools we are looking to buy, including a permanent floor-standing table saw (SawStop vs Grizzly) and cabinet joinery (the biscuit joiner vs the Domino) with perhaps an underdog, the Lamello?
The Snap-on Tools: Preying on young mechanics to sign away paychecks for decades on tool carts they can barely afford, is the Snap-on tools business model a scam?
Cable Management & Organization: A small but relatable tangent on the problems of organizing an ever-growing pile of charging and data cables

Deric was MIA this week, but Zac and Eric partied like it was 2022 and managed to pull off an entertaining show for you all the same. Not to worry, we still get off topic and dive into things like arbitrary titles while also discussing how to effectively stack and process mass quantities of sheet goods in a garage shop. Can you put navigation in a 90s BMW? Should you? Do you use Apple Car Play or Android Auto? Can one really be better than the other if they are all using the same base data? We answer none of these questions, but spend an inordinate amount of time on them, so listen up and join in, because it's about to get tangential up in here!

We’re back with Episode 185, and this week we're diving into the madness of Amazon's multiple Prime Days, don’t people just buy what we need anyway? Instagram's glitchy nature is getting under our skin, every new "feature" seems to break another one. Zac details his battle with a thief who is seeing more success re-editing his content and getting more views on TikTok than Zac?!
Not to worry, we may tangent off on pizza and weddings, but there is still plenty of shop talk. Zac gives us a peek into a new project, taking the chaos of a car restoration and applying his signature electronics formula(PS2 in an Accura?) Deric fills us in on the "paralyzing" week before a big trip and Eric starts our new segment “Closet Talk”(just kidding). It's all the fun, frustration, and shop-related shenanigans you've come to expect, with a little extra pineapple thrown on for good measure.

Another week in the shop and another episode of the Off The Cut Podcast, we welcome special guest and sponsor Bill Burkel from WTB Woodworking. We dive deep into Bill's journey, from starting a small Etsy business to opening a full-fledged retail store and showroom in under 10 years. We discuss the business struggles he's faced along the way, including a significant amount of online fraud and the unexpected logistics of sourcing and processing his own lumber(apparently some people are just giving it away for free!). Bill also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming one-year anniversary event, detailing the special giveaways and demos planned. It’s a great episode filled with honest stories about the realities of running a small woodworking business.

We're coming to you, just a few weeks before Zac’s wedding, and we're not stressed at all... mostly. We dive into the world of 3D printing, sharing some great tips we've learned and why some of us are ditching PLA filament. Eric also gives us his unfiltered thoughts on jigsaw blades after putting a bunch of them to the test. Plus, we're talking about the ridiculous product naming conventions in the tool industry and why we think a high-quality hand tool is always worth it, especially if it's been properly sharpened (which is harder than it looks!).

We've been making some big moves lately, including getting the podcast listed on IMDB and launching a new Spencley Design Co. Shopify discount code for listeners. We also had to do a redraw for our monthly KM Tools gift card winner after our previous winner, Neil Heslop, generously passed on his prize due to shipping costs to the United Kingdom. Big congrats to Built by Gus on winning the $50 gift card!
We got a little sidetracked and had a fun discussion about the trials and tribulations of home improvement projects, from dealing with damaged doors from big box stores to the agony of painting. We also chatted about our own YouTube video production processes, the challenges of making content, and how we're working to improve our workflow and video quality. It's a candid look behind the scenes, and we hope you enjoy it!

We delved into Zach's current project, an educational course on console modification. He plans to make the course engaging but not boring, much like a YouTube video. We also discussed the challenges of creating a course, such as balancing the need for comprehensive information with keeping people's attention. The episode wrapped up with a discussion about the new H2S and H2C 3D printers from Bambu. And we answered a question from a viewer about whether carbon fiber filament can cause splinters.

We're talking about YouTube's new "Hype" button, the frustrations of IT support, and why trusting a handyman from places like Angie's List and Task Rabbit may be a gamble.
Episode Highlights
The Hype is Real (or is it?): We dive into YouTube's new "Hype" feature, a way to boost smaller creators, and debate whether it's a game-changer or just another button to smash. Find out what a "small creator" is in YouTube's eyes and how many "Hypes" you get a week.
DIY Dilemmas: From trying to install a front door with YouTube tutorials to the pros and cons of hiring contractors with TV commercials, we share our home renovation trials and triumphs. Learn why some jobs are "too small" for a contractor and why we'd rather do it ourselves, even if it takes more time.
A Lumberyard's Lament: Our tools get a shout-out as we discuss the essentials versus the dust-collectors, including a circular saw's new life as a "destruction saw" for pallets. We also get into the nuances of using a track saw off its track, a topic that apparently gets people fired up on Reddit.
Know Your House: We discuss how to know when it's time to replace your roof, and what signs to look for in the attic and from the street. Plus, we talk about the financial sense (or lack thereof) in over-improving a starter home.

We dive into the wild world of online scams! We're talking about everything from ridiculously professional-looking emails from "Sony" that want you to download files on a Windows PC (yep, a very specific scam that almost got us!) to companies that stiff YouTubers on payments after their ad reads go live. We'll also tell you about our own run-ins with scams and discuss why we're so paranoid about our digital security these days.
This week we're ditching the aftershow to chat live with our top-tier patrons over on the BYOC!
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who uses the internet—so, basically everyone! But seriously, stay safe out there.

#Woodworking #DIY #3DPrinting #Maker #ContentCreation #YouTuber #OffTheCutPodcast
On episode 177 of the Off The Cut podcast, we go shot for shot, we jump right into some hot topics from the tool and content creation worlds. Kicking things off by talking about J-Katz new video and the importance of content warnings for, well, graphic injuries.
Then, we got to the news of the week: Kreg is coming out with a new line of cordless power tools, including a cordless pocket hole joiner. Naturally, we had to check out the details on their Instagram and website, which led us to wonder if this new battery platform is truly worth it. This sparked a much bigger discussion about the blurry line between inspiration and just plain copying.
We dove deep into the ethics of taking ideas from others. We compared it to classic tools, asking why it’s fine for everyone to make a screwdriver but not a unique creation like a pocket hole jig. It turns out that some power tools, like the track saw, have become so commonplace that their designs are almost a "public entity". But where does that leave creators?
We debated whether it's okay to make a video inspired by someone else's work without giving them credit. We've all seen videos that look suspiciously familiar, and sometimes a simple acknowledgment goes a long way. We ultimately concluded that intent is everything and that it's a good idea to borrow from multiple sources to avoid a direct copy. As one listener perfectly put it, “if you just keep copying others, people will eventually see right through it.”

#Woodworking #DIY #3DPrinting #Maker #ContentCreation #YouTuber #OffTheCutPodcast
The full crew is finally back! In this week's episode, join Zac, Deric, and Eric as we dive into a wide-ranging discussion covering everything from our latest projects to the business of content creation. Zac shares his journey of switching his entire cordless tool collection to DeWalt, revealing the strategic deals he's making on Facebook Marketplace. This sparks a lively debate on the pros and cons of cordless tools, particularly the notoriously frustrating cordless sanders.
Zac shows off the final version of his 3D-printed soldering fume extractor, and Deric and Eric offer some great advice on making products more marketable for the maker community. We also touch on Eric's massive drawer box course project, the challenges of creating detailed, long-form educational content, and the importance of having a robust content strategy. Plus, we answer a LIVE chat question about using power tool batteries to run camera equipment for YouTube videos. Tune in for insights on DIY projects, YouTube growth, and a peek behind the curtain of the creator economy!

This week, Eric is on vacation and Deric gets big thanks for his genius idea that helped Zac perfect his 3D-printed soldering fume extractor, making it solid and adjustable with just 2 thumb screws. Zac is also deep into a tool-buying spree, playing "day trader" on Facebook Marketplace to switch all his tools to DeWalt. Did he make the right choice? We dive into the world of tool reviews, discussing how free tools can unknowingly bias creators and the refreshing honesty of some channels.
Deric shares his current woodworking projects, including building a platform bed for his daughter's closet and custom shelving for his son's retro game console collection. This leads to a deep dive into the fascinating world of vintage game consoles, from the elusive N64 disc drive to the N64 that was contained entirely in its controller. We reminisce about old games, the Beanie Baby craze, and the nostalgia of classic game smells.

Zac is back from his European adventures, and we immediately put him on the hot seat to confirm he didn't elope (spoiler: he didn't, but it crossed their minds!). We also dive into the wild world of online shopping, discussing everything from oddly specific Amazon cutting board kits to the wild and wacky items (and mini smartphones!) we've discovered on Temu(or is it TeEmu? Timoo? No one knows)
We also share some behind-the-scenes insights, like Eric's ongoing battle with contracts, Deric's clever 3D-printed solutions for woodworking dilemmas , and Zac's encounters with content impersonators on TikTok. Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty of audio treatment for recording spaces and the ever-evolving landscape of YouTube and content creation.

This week, with Zac still MIA, Scott Walsh fills in for a record 7th time! (and the second longest Aftershow ever!)
This week, Scott dives deep into the power of email marketing for content creators, sharing insights on building high-quality email lists, leveraging lead generators (like free e-books and tool guides), and achieving impressive conversion rates. He explains how to "groom" an email list to ensure high open rates and avoid spam folders, emphasizing the importance of providing value and maintaining a personal touch in emails.
The conversation also touches on the evolution of YouTube as a platform, the increasing use of QR codes in videos for calls to action, and the benefits of creating evergreen digital products like courses. Scott shares his process for scripting courses and how diversified income streams reduce stress for content creators. As we round out the hour, the hosts commiserate over the ever-growing expenses of running a small business, from subscriptions to insurance.
Tune in for valuable tips on growing your online presence and managing the business side of content creation!

#Woodworking #DIY #3DPrinting #Maker #ContentCreation #YouTuber #OffTheCutPodcast
This week, with Zac MIA, we are joined by guest Keith Johnson for Episode 172 of "Off The Cut"! This week, Eric continues his grievances with the Shaper Origin's finicky tape and its inability to cut perfectly straight lines. As well as his own planer woes, noting inconsistent feeding on the left side.
The discussion shifts to the challenges of installing inset drawer fronts and a preference for Soliche drawer slides over Blum. We also delve into contractor quality and the frustrations of home renovations, highlighting issues like poor trim work and unpainted balusters. Keith explains his decision to drop his contractor's license due to new bond requirements. Do Woodworkers make the worst customers?

This week we welcome our newest sponsor, Bill Burkle at WTB Woodworking, who's absolutely crushing it with his expanding physical store and a huge Wagner moisture meter giveaway. Plus, Bill drops a Fusion 360 shortcut on Eric that just might change everything for your CAD game!
Then, it's grievance time! From the Shaper Origin's finicky tape and their adequate customer service to the never-ending museum display stands Deric has been working on; it's a delicate dance of setting clear expectations to avoid future headaches and backing yourself into a corner with the build. A topic tease into the blurry line between "inspiration" and "ripping off" in the creative world. How similar is too similar? We try to figure it out!

We pull back the curtain on video editing, including how we "fake it till we make it" with B-roll. We're geeking out over 3D printer filaments, especially glass-filled ABS, is it our new favorite (even if it still stinks!)? Then, things get real in the shop with a painting disaster that left Deric’s garage floor and door looking a little emo. We brainstorm ways to clean it up, including some heavy-duty razor blades and paint stripper. We get handy with outdoor power tools that have interchangeable heads – total game-changers for yard work. What is the cost of perfection? How to navigate tricky client expectations. And finally, we give a sneak peek at upcoming videos, including a PlayStation 5 mod. We spill the tea on how to handle sponsored content without annoying you (it's all about that natural flow!). Plus, a quick shout-out to our new favorite tool: the ultrasonic cleaner – even if it makes a terrible noise.

Eric, Zac and Deric jump right into the "painting woes" of finishing woodworking projects, discussing the pros and cons of different finishes like Rubio and the challenges of touch-ups. They also explore the confusing landscape of modern power tool branding, with humorous takes on DeWalt and Milwaukee's product lines. The conversation veers into memorable (and sometimes horrifying) renovation stories, including dealing with textured walls and unconventional demolition methods. Can you burn drywall?
