Plus, smack dab in the middle of the show, Tyler draws the winner of the completely custom set of cornhole boards and bags for his Makers for St Judes giveaway!

Come hang with us while we chat with Chris from @_aglimpseinside ! We got him to spill the beans on how he uses his CNC with no tabs or vacuum hold downs (hint: part of it is "Braden, stop using cheap bits") as well as how he got started in the maker space and went DEEP about his "failure is not an option" mindset that quickly grew into a successful full-time business! We say this every week, but THIS is was a good one!

We had an absolute blast hanging with the troll king, the committee president, the voice of @anotherwoodshoppodcast , the all around good-guy Malcom from @bossanovawoodworks . Malcom gave us the low-down on being a first timer at @workbenchconference (seven weeks away!), as well as how he got involved in the maker community by just putting himself out there.

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 sneaky hint at what is coming tomorrow. All in all, this was a great hang-sesh with a maker that is always giving back to the community. Hosts: Braden @littlebugwoodworking TJ @tjt_workshop Sponsored by: @surfprepsanding and @georgesupplycompany Last week to check out the maker projects going on over at @makersforstjude where we've already passed Mike's $10k goal for the year!
