Jay and Andrew talk through the shop decisions that look wrong on paper but make sense once you consider the whole system. That means knowing when excess inventory is costing you more than it is worth, why cheap equipment can sometimes be exactly the right equipment, and when spending money now saves far more expensive time later.

They also dig into 3D printing, toolholding, material choices, and the hidden value of simply trying something instead of deciding in advance that it will not work.
