Off the Cut Podcast

We made it to Episode 200, and we celebrated by... getting rid of Zac? With the third host "exiled," Eric and Deric take the wheel to discuss the absolute nightmare of installing ceiling fans on 18-foot vaulted ceilings—including the terror of "lean-to" ladders and why "Integrated LEDs" are the worst invention in lighting history. Eric discusses his new "Mail Slot" plywood storage rack that magically fits behind a garage door rail, and we nerd out on YouTube strategy: why "scheduling" a video is actually a trap, and why clickbait titles are becoming boringly literal again.

We are on the brink of Episode 200, but first, we are going to commit international hot dog crimes. We discuss the genius (and legality) of a "Hot Dog Arbitrage" scheme involving Canadian Costco memberships and a 53-foot trailer. We also dive into the nightmare of small business bookkeeping, why we lie about our invoice numbers to look more professional, and the struggle of using AI to write video scripts without sounding like a cheesy late-night infomercial. Zac reveals his insane plan to cool his PC using literal winter air from outside, and we debate whether we should start selling woodworking plans measured entirely in "Zac Feet."

We are kicking off the new year by discussing our "resolutions"—specifically the struggle to actually finish a project before starting the next shiny one. We dive deep into the economics of injection molding vs. 3D printing (shoutout to Travis from ⁨@ShopNation⁩ and ⁨@PrintFarmAcademy⁩ for the breakdown) and debate whether scripting our videos too heavily is actually killing the fun of creating. Things get heated when we switch to fast food: from Zac's traumatizing Burger King experience to the absolute rage caused by digital menus that change while you are trying to order. We also discover "Mexican Sushi," debate the pronunciation of "Poke," and explain why "Monopoly Deal" is superior to the board game that ruins friendships.

We are closing out the year by debating the ethics of selling 3D printed "dragons" at craft fairs and discussing when a maker business should graduate from 3D printing to injection molding (the "MVP" strategy). We also dive into the reality of "Outlet Mall" quality, we suspect that brands are manufacturing intentionally worse products for discount stores. Plus, we break down the legendary Van Halen "Green M&M" rider clause—it turns out it wasn't about being a diva, but a genius safety check—and we set our "F-Off Price" for working with brands that have wronged us.

We are wrapping up the year with the ultimate Showdown, a March Madness-style bracket to crown the absolute best power tool brand. We randomly assign brands to defend, forcing us to make passionate arguments for tools we might actually hate (looking at you, Powerfist). We debate whether a "lifetime warranty" is actually a scam, why Powerfist is the worst name in marketing history, and we accidentally discover the most inappropriate mascot in sports history. Plus, one of us gets disqualified for using AI to write their debate points 🫢
