Justin's fresh back from IMTS, a giant manufacturing trade show, and has stories about the machines, the crowds, and a bit of luck along the way. Jem shares how he's handling bully builders and their monster purchase orders.

Jem's machinist has quietly thrown out the Multicam software and now runs the CNC from a web browser, complete with utilization tracking. Justin's stuck clicking thousands of tabs in Fusion and is (likely) ready to build his own fix. Plus a big plywood job that got dicey on cashflow, deposit math, and build fatigue.

Jem hits the dream product mix with 16 deliveries in one day while Justin codes at coffee shops and preps for baby number two. Justin built a free Mac app that previews CAD and G-code files in QuickLook.
