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 🫢Got questions?

It is finally time for the "Sawdust Showdown!" We turn the podcast into a Jeopardy-style trivia game where Eric and Zac battle it out over categories like "Getting Drilled" (identifying tools without logos), "2xForefathers" (woodworking history), and the surprisingly difficult "Hand Stuff." We also debate the best way to store ratchet straps (and whether the retractable ones are trash), is there an "exit strategy" for content creators, and share why we are terrified of signing contracts that let brands own our face forever.Got a question that you want us to answer?

We are getting into the holiday spirit by discussing the beauty of "flat presents" (checks from grandma) and our secret strategies for dealing with terrible "throwaway gifts". However, the holiday season also brings out the scammers, so we dive deep into the sophisticated text and email scams currently plaguing creators, including a convincing Meta "Blue Badge" trap. We also geek out on AI tools for YouTube thumbnails, debating whether "Gemini Nano Banana Pro" is a good name , and share our best tips for finding actual PNGs on Google Images without getting virus-bombedGot a question that you want us to answer?

We are still recovering from Thanksgiving, which means we have strong opinions about leftover turkey and the tragedy of store-bought pies with lackluster crusts. We also dive into the questionable ethics of returning Black Friday impulse buys, debating whether it's okay to screw over a giant corporation versus a small creator. Last, we break down the art of the "listicle" video—how to take a boring project like a desk upgrade and turn it into engaging content by gamifying the process.Got a question that you want us to answer?

We kick things off with a dental emergency caused by a bad habit before diving into a deep debate about shop safety gear—specifically, whether those expensive "space helmets" are actually worth it or if we just look ridiculous. We also discuss the "Nosy," a wearable air purifier that definitely exists (unfortunately), and question what materials we are using today that will be considered the "lead paint" of the future. Later, we recap a chaotic car rental experience in Curaçao that involved WhatsApp and zero paperwork, and we break down the strategy behind making "one-day build" videos for YouTube when you don't have the energy for a massive furniture project.**Monthly BYOC, NO AFTERSHOW this week**Got a question that you want us to answer?

We are diving into the ultimate holiday gift guide for makers, but things quickly turn into a heated debate about shop organization. We discuss whether the expensive "Packout" systems are actually worth the hype or if there are better ways to store your gear without breaking the bank. We also break down our top gift picks ranging from the $20 essentials (like the humble Sharpie) to "money is no object" dream tools like Bambu Lab printers and SawStops. Plus, we have a morbidly hilarious conversation about which finger we would sacrifice if we had to test a table saw safety brake.Got a question that you want us to answer?

Once he figured out the right-click, it was smooth sailingOur YouTube Strategy: We talked about how our projects are suffering from "scope creep" due to a lack of hard deadlines, and we realized the key to a successful video is nailing the narrative before the cameras rollGator Guts and Contractor Woes: We exposed the secret to taming the beast—marshmallows, or "swamp crack," which alligators love —and we talked about how ridiculous it is when repairmen show up asking to borrow our toolsGot a question that you want us to answer?

We are back with episode 188, Eric, Zac and Deric share their latest building blunders, biggest pet peeves and judge your house.Eric shares the dramatic tale of his oversized, custom-built closet cabinets. Due to the unexpected density of his plywood , the cabinets were nearly 300 pounds. In a wild twist of measuring tape versus reality, he had to whip out his multi-tool and literally cut a hole in ceiling just to get the final piece wedged into the closet!Zac dives back into his custom desk PC build, detailing his struggle with a new, wider graphics card creating clearance issues in his drawer. Can he find a specialty, low-profile drawer slides to save the project and avoid taking a belt sander to a $2,500 GPU?We get down and dirty discussing the things that stand out and kinda bug us when visiting someone else's home.

Eric gets the cops called on him while attempting to repair his iPhone 12 mini, Zac calls the cops on his neighbors and Deric has to pick a new tool right now or else Eric and Zac are going to call the cops on him! Cut too:The 3D Printing Market: Debating the difference between the Bamboo Lab X1C and P1S/P2S printers; noting the X1C seems to be running sales to clear out inventory, suggesting a new model may be comingA Planned Computer Upgrade: After spending about $4,000 on parts for a new, powerful computer to install in his desk, Zac admits it's likely in the territory of diminishing returns, but necessary to make his new video specialTool Purchases and Desires: We speculate on tools we are looking to buy, including a permanent floor-standing table saw (SawStop vs Grizzly) and cabinet joinery (the biscuit joiner vs the Domino) with perhaps an underdog, the Lamello?

Deric was MIA this week, but Zac and Eric partied like it was 2022 and managed to pull off an entertaining show for you all the same. Not to worry, we still get off topic and dive into things like arbitrary titles while also discussing how to effectively stack and process mass quantities of sheet goods in a garage shop. Can you put navigation in a 90s BMW? Should you? Do you use Apple Car Play or Android Auto? Can one really be better than the other if they are all using the same base data? We answer none of these questions, but spend an inordinate amount of time on them, so listen up and join in, because it's about to get tangential up in here!

We’re back with Episode 185, and this week we're diving into the madness of Amazon's multiple Prime Days, don’t people just buy what we need anyway? Instagram's glitchy nature is getting under our skin, every new "feature" seems to break another one. Zac details his battle with a thief who is seeing more success re-editing his content and getting more views on TikTok than Zac?!Not to worry, we may tangent off on pizza and weddings, but there is still plenty of shop talk. Zac gives us a peek into a new project, taking the chaos of a car restoration and applying his signature electronics formula(PS2 in an Accura?) Deric fills us in on the "paralyzing" week before a big trip and Eric starts our new segment “Closet Talk”(just kidding). It's all the fun, frustration, and shop-related shenanigans you've come to expect, with a little extra pineapple thrown on for good measure.Got a question that you want us to answer?

Another week in the shop and another episode of the Off The Cut Podcast, we welcome special guest and sponsor Bill Burkel from WTB Woodworking. We dive deep into Bill's journey, from starting a small Etsy business to opening a full-fledged retail store and showroom in under 10 years. We discuss the business struggles he's faced along the way, including a significant amount of online fraud and the unexpected logistics of sourcing and processing his own lumber(apparently some people are just giving it away for free!). Bill also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming one-year anniversary event, detailing the special giveaways and demos planned. It’s a great episode filled with honest stories about the realities of running a small woodworking business.Got a question that you want us to answer?

We're coming to you, just a few weeks before Zac’s wedding, and we're not stressed at all... mostly. We dive into the world of 3D printing, sharing some great tips we've learned and why some of us are ditching PLA filament. Eric also gives us his unfiltered thoughts on jigsaw blades after putting a bunch of them to the test. Plus, we're talking about the ridiculous product naming conventions in the tool industry and why we think a high-quality hand tool is always worth it, especially if it's been properly sharpened (which is harder than it looks!).Got a question that you want us to answer?

We've been making some big moves lately, including getting the podcast listed on IMDB and launching a new Spencley Design Co. Shopify discount code for listeners. We also had to do a redraw for our monthly KM Tools gift card winner after our previous winner, Neil Heslop, generously passed on his prize due to shipping costs to the United Kingdom. Big congrats to Built by Gus on winning the $50 gift card!We got a little sidetracked and had a fun discussion about the trials and tribulations of home improvement projects, from dealing with damaged doors from big box stores to the agony of painting. We also chatted about our own YouTube video production processes, the challenges of making content, and how we're working to improve our workflow and video quality. It's a candid look behind the scenes, and we hope you enjoy it!Got a question that you want us to answer?

We delved into Zach's current project, an educational course on console modification. He plans to make the course engaging but not boring, much like a YouTube video. We also discussed the challenges of creating a course, such as balancing the need for comprehensive information with keeping people's attention. The episode wrapped up with a discussion about the new H2S and H2C 3D printers from Bambu. And we answered a question from a viewer about whether carbon fiber filament can cause splinters.Got a question that you want us to answer?

We're talking about YouTube's new "Hype" button, the frustrations of IT support, and why trusting a handyman from places like Angie's List and Task Rabbit may be a gamble.Episode HighlightsThe Hype is Real (or is it?): We dive into YouTube's new "Hype" feature, a way to boost smaller creators, and debate whether it's a game-changer or just another button to smash. Find out what a "small creator" is in YouTube's eyes and how many "Hypes" you get a week.DIY Dilemmas: From trying to install a front door with YouTube tutorials to the pros and cons of hiring contractors with TV commercials, we share our home renovation trials and triumphs. Learn why some jobs are "too small" for a contractor and why we'd rather do it ourselves, even if it takes more time.A Lumberyard's Lament: Our tools get a shout-out as we discuss the essentials versus the dust-collectors, including a circular saw's new life as a "destruction saw" for pallets. We also get into the nuances of using a track saw off its track, a topic that apparently gets people fired up on Reddit.Know Your House: We discuss how to know when it's time to replace your roof, and what signs to look for in the attic and from the street. Plus, we talk about the financial sense (or lack thereof) in over-improving a starter home.Got a question that you want us to answer?

We dive into the wild world of online scams! We're talking about everything from ridiculously professional-looking emails from "Sony" that want you to download files on a Windows PC (yep, a very specific scam that almost got us!) to companies that stiff YouTubers on payments after their ad reads go live. We'll also tell you about our own run-ins with scams and discuss why we're so paranoid about our digital security these days.This week we're ditching the aftershow to chat live with our top-tier patrons over on the BYOC! This episode is a must-listen for anyone who uses the internet—so, basically everyone! But seriously, stay safe out there.Got a question that you want us to answer?

On episode 177 of the Off The Cut podcast, we go shot for shot, we jump right into some hot topics from the tool and content creation worlds. Kicking things off by talking about J-Katz new video and the importance of content warnings for, well, graphic injuries.Then, we got to the news of the week: Kreg is coming out with a new line of cordless power tools, including a cordless pocket hole joiner. Naturally, we had to check out the details on their Instagram and website, which led us to wonder if this new battery platform is truly worth it. This sparked a much bigger discussion about the blurry line between inspiration and just plain copying.We dove deep into the ethics of taking ideas from others. We compared it to classic tools, asking why it’s fine for everyone to make a screwdriver but not a unique creation like a pocket hole jig. It turns out that some power tools, like the track saw, have become so commonplace that their designs are almost a "public entity". But where does that leave creators?We debated whether it's okay to make a video inspired by someone else's work without giving them credit. We've all seen videos that look suspiciously familiar, and sometimes a simple acknowledgment goes a long way. We ultimately concluded that intent is everything and that it's a good idea to borrow from multiple sources to avoid a direct copy. As one listener perfectly put it, “if you just keep copying others, people will eventually see right through it.”Got a question that you want us to answer?
