Off the Cut Podcast

We're missing Zac tonight, and despite the offers to get sponsored by an AI company, we will not be replacing him with an AI clone—unless they take our F*off price. We break down the real cost of chasing perfect video B-roll, the magic of using AI for lazy infomercial graphics, why everyone insists on trying to reinvent table saw safety and how some mistakes are permanent. We also dive into the new Harvey "Dream Saw" with its proximity sensors, SawStop's aggressive new bandsaw tech that will cost you an arm and a blade, and whether you actually need a Ferrari table saw to make good cuts. Plus, we talk 3D printing tolerances, IKEA furniture hacks(literally!), and why not all custom dust hose adapters are built the same (because manufacturers can't agree on what an inch and a half actually is). Grab a fresh seltzer and pull up a chair, it’s gonna go fast.

You won’t believe the ridiculous lengths we go to for a good shot—including Zac securing a suspicious amount of sparkly pink costume hair just to test out a robot vacuum. We cover a lot of ground, from Deric burning 6,000 calories doing yard work on the hottest day of the year in Texas, to the grim reality of completely losing all passion for a build the second it sits idle for more than a day. Zac is losing his mind, and voice, re-recording an entire 24-minute voiceover for his upcoming GameCube mod and Eric drops some serious opinions on the new Kreg joinery tool, The Edge, and whether it actually stands a chance against the Festool Domino. Meanwhile, Eric is trying to figure out how to mount a massive 16-foot reclaimed beam from the 1800s without entirely crushing his drywall, so he can get his shop floor back.

We kick things off with a well-deserved grievance about heavy-breathing audiobook narrators before spiraling into the golden age of flipping Laserdiscs and debating if 4K Blu-rays are actually worth the hassle. Don’t worry, we talk shop at some point too. Zac shows off his new 3D-printed GameCube mod. We pull back the curtain on tool reviews—specifically stacking the $500 Kreg Edge against the $1400 Festool Domino—and why the first 30 seconds of a video are literally do-or-die for your retention graphs. Finally, we wrap up with the agonizing highs and spaghetti-filled lows of custom 3D modeling a fix for a shattered houseplant reservoir.

We are diving headfirst into the latest YouTube monetization panic—because who doesn’t love casually discovering that the watch-hour requirements just doubled? We also tackle the wild conspiracy theories about "stealth ads" in videos. Spoiler alert: brands aren't paying us thousands of dollars to subtly show a product in our videos; they are control freaks and bureaucratic to the bone. Zac is knee-deep in his modern GameCube mod, complete with the iconic purple shell. Eric has morphed into a caffeinated, shipping and logistics machine, fulfilling his 3D-printed glue holder orders while dealing with customers and odd expectations. Meanwhile, Deric is trying to survive back-to-school season and asking the real questions: which 3D printing filament can actually survive a cycle in the dishwasher without melting onto your silverware?

We’re back and somehow Deric survived driving through the absolute chaos of Midtown Manhattan without getting a single New York honk. While Deric was out dodging rats and locked-up CVS candy bars, Eric managed to accidentally launch a full-scale manufacturing facility in his closet. His new Glue Dock went so incredibly viral that he had to nearly buy out the local Best Buy's stock of 3D printers just to keep his head above water.
We also dive into the drama surrounding the upcoming Kreg Domino clone—is it actually a Festool killer, or just a track saw situation all over again? Plus, we touch on why all of our hobbies are brutally expensive. Is Mattress Firm a money-laundering front? How to quiet down a 3D print farm before the vibrations drive you insane.
Grab a drink, pull up a stool, and let’s get after it.
