Whats on our bench: 🎶
Pete is dealing with Tiktok shop issues, he had a documentary by Justin Mabie drop last week (GO WATCH IT!), and he had to go clear out a friend’s shop that was closing and now his workshop is packed with tools he has to sort through. 
Also, Got this box resizer!

Dan is trying to share more of his workflow and process for the inlays, catching up on the holiday orders, and dealing with some cancellations.

Braden remodeled Aretha’s office in 1 week! Finishing framing, new door, trim, and paint in less time then most of us take to demo the space. He’s also dealing with a difficult return on a large clock order.

Questions:
James

How can we keep using mineral oil as a finish on cutting boards? With all we've heard about people not being able to follow instruction. See flat pack furniture. How can we expect people to upkeep a cutting board?
Mineral oil doesn't last forever!

I have a potential client build coming up. I started talking to this client in October about an ottoman table. They had no budget, and no direction about material. After some back and forth, I sent them a quote in November. Since then, it’s been radio silence until today. Is there any red flags here? The ottoman table shouldn’t be too hard they opted for pine with mitred corners. They provided the measurements of their existing ottoman.

Questions:

is it possible to make the design stage of furniture building sexy? Jokes about underwear to the side, but seriously how can a maker entice viewers with part of the process that is critical but just not as satisfying as bringing a project to completion? Maybe I just haven’t seen the right videos?
What’s one shortcut you’ve learned that doesn’t compromise quality, and a shortcut that absolutely does for better or worse?
How do trends, like social media, viral builds, or “Instagram woodworking” help or hurt the craft?

Where do you get your First Aid kit and what are your requirements there are kits for car, travel, 200-500 person shops it just looks like a world of land mines

Geoff
Three Tails Woodworks
A CNC, 3D printer and laser walk into bar……… which one should I get first for the shop?? Kinda leaning towards the CNC. I have a 2 car garage for my shop, I’m looking at smaller units, like a bambu P1S or A1, 30”x48” CNC. The 3D printer would probably be used for personal stuff and maybe some production work and the CNC and laser would be for production work and customer orders. 

Next question. I’m looking at going in new direction this year. Cutting boards and charcuterie boards have been a tough sale in my area, there’s lots of competition. I’m looking at going into tables and custom furniture and maybe jumping into YouTube. Do you have any tips on how to market myself and get my name out there? My clientele has mostly been friends, family and co-workers at my full time job. I’ve posted a few furniture items on a few community Facebook pages for my city with little success

Whats on our bench: 🎶
Pete has been sanding the end grain boards and knocking out orders for ornaments that came in past the deadline. And planning for 2026 on his channel. 

Dan broke a CNC bit, Kayla is helping in the shop to keep him on track, and got a small weird end of the holiday rush that he has to fulfil.

Braden has a rush or orders come in, finishing up organizing his shop, and working on the entryway to Aretha’s office.

Questions:
Nick
NSM Woodcraft
If you could magically double the size of you shop would you do it? I only ask because the place I rent my shop space from reached out to ask if I want the unit next door as well. He would even allow me to connect the 2 spaces together. Obviously more money out of pocket a month but no more reconfiguring tools based on the task.  So that would be a more efficient shop. Thoughts boys?

Pete is finishing up a bunch of small orders, ignoring large cutting boards he has to do by christmas, and working on his home network.
