Come join us as we chat with Stone from @stonefinity and @onefinity! One of the faces we've come to see as synonymous with the company, Stone chats about his journey from maker to CNC expert. Luck would also have it that this episode lands smack in the middle of an entire WEEK of product launches for Onefinity, so Stone gives us the run down on what has launched so far and gives us a little sn...

Come meet Dillon of @sandman_wood_designs, a vet, woodworker, maker, and now storefront owner! We spend a lot of time chatting about the process and journey behind Dillon's new storefront in Batavia, New York.

What a riot! From selling a coffee table MEANT for his wife to an adult film actress to trading cutting boards for Traegers, Shane's journey as a maker is so fantastical it's almost unbelievable. The G.O.A.T. of multi-layer epoxy pours, Shane is a humble maker looking to share this process with as many people as he can, including teaching the people over at Vectric a new way to use their o...

Get to know Drew of @fernwoodfarmswoodworking with us! Biggest take away- Drew hates cnc's and doesn't care for people that use them either (this is not in any way true). Give this one a listen and get to know a true down-to-earth maker that has a drive to build projects that bring him joy. Plus, TJ was in Mexico, so technically this was a globally broadcasted live. BooYa! Hosts: Braden @l...

Join us this week as we meet Joe, the visionary behind Two Pines Carpentry. A cutting/charcuterie board visionary, Joe knows how to take a heck of a photo.

Come join us as we deep dive into 3d printing, how AI is growing as a creative tool, and Patrick gives a live demonstration on how to use Photoshop to create AI generated backg...

Earmuff warning, our good friend Luke from @lukeinthegarage heard that Sawdust Talk was recorded after dark and took full advantage of the opportunity to test out pirate words.  A maker who is ALWAYS a blast to hang out with, we talk with Luke about 3d printers, his amazing relationship with Harvey, how much he LOVES ketchup on hotdogs, and more. Come hang with us and learn more about this amazing...

We talk about his experience at the great flood of Maker Camp, his friendships in the community, his singular tattoo (us and everyone else), and more. We also have a fairly standard IG crash towards the end to warn us when we're getting TOO spicy. Hosts: Brade...

What do you get when you have one host that can't see the guest, one that can't hear or speak to the guest, and on who didn't know he was going to be added in during the final 15 minutes? You get this episode of Sawdust Talk featuring Drew of @witt_works! Come hear Drew talk about his experiences, how he handles haters in the comments, and the story of how one YouTube video made it all...

Some may say he's more scientist than woodworker, Suman (@woodcraftbysuman) is a gem to the maker community. Come join us as we learn about his scientific approach to content, his love of hand tools, and his optimistic outlook on creating. Hosts @littlebugwoodworking @tjt_workshop @building_jessie Special thanks to our sponsors @surfprepsanding and @georgesupplycompany Check out the maker chal...

This episode was literally pulled back from the abyss of deleted IG lives, super dramatic like. Which is awesome, because we had an awesome time getting to know Dillon (the RIGHT way to spell the name) of Dillon's Workshop. An avid bowl-turner, sleeve-remover, just all around nice guy, Dillon talks about his part in the maker community. Hosts: Braden of Little Bug Woodworking (IG @littlebugwoo...

Come meet Alma from @pinksoulstudios ! She gave away the secrets to making your first million dollars woodworking at the beginning of the hour; unfortunately IG saw fit to crash leaving those words lost to the digital void. You can still enjoy the back 50 minutes where we talk about social media, @themakercamp , finding your joy in making, and being part of this amazing community! Check out the fi...

Come meet the amazing @jimmydiresta with us tonight. We explore his undying drive to tinker and make, his time making TV shows, and his love for the maker community. The only question unanswered : Will @nickofferman finally accept Jimmy's offer to come to @themakercamp this year or will he be "making a movie" again? Make sure to check out the upcoming Maker Challenge put on by @maker...
