    Nothing To It But To Do It
    21 Feb 2024
    Our first episode! I have Jake Rosser @jrosserdesign on today as he will be the Shop Manager at MontCo Makers once we're open. We have a typical discussion about the makerspace and what we'd be offering, how I got into woodworking and biting off a large project as my first real one, and how we work in our current shop, and various other topics as two ADHD dudes with beers do. @MakeItWhileYouFakeIt @WhoaShopWoodworking @MontCoMakers @JRosserDesign

    5 Mar 2024
    In this episode we discuss the difficulties of "testing" the assumptions of the makerspace as part of the business plan and how it's a different approach than creating a product. We also talk about if YouTube is a good starting point for new woodworkers and what to watch out for. If you'd like to support the show, we now have a Patreon! All proceeds will go directly towards the MontCo Makers woodworking makerspace looking to open this year!

    So What Does My Wife Think..?
    3 Apr 2024
    I'm talking this week with my wife Melanie! She has lived through my entire woodworking career, from the very first crap project that looked like an untalented Kindergartener made it to the "professional" I am now. What are her thoughts on this life-changing, super risky endeavor I'm about to commit my life to... besides her, duh.
