It’s an episode about nothing—which means Alex and Alex get right into the weeds of shop projects, tool troubleshooting, and prep for the busy fall season.
Episode Highlights- On the Bench: Alex Adams runs a marathon print session making giant pop-culture popcorn buckets and 5x-scale Lego minifigs, while Alex Duffey doubles his production of Dungeon Crawler Carl boxes and harvests homegrown Wine Cap mushrooms grown in CNC sawdust.
- Whatcha Breakin': An all-out battle with 3D printers. Duffey essentially rebuilds his entire printhead assembly after repeated jams, while Adams hunts down elusive layer shifts and loose hotend screws.
- Whatcha Sellin': Winding down farmers markets, weighing consignment vs. monthly booth rent in local shops, and the realities of holiday inventory planning.
- Community Spotlights: Mind-bending miniature room pranks by @AndrewVideo, life-size Dragon Ball Z pods from @CosplayCorp, wooden lightning bug fixtures, and ice cream churned from wild wood by Justin Davies.
Upcoming: Catch Alex Duffey teaching at the Texas Woodworking Festival this weekend
