In the final episode of 2025, Alex Duffey and Alex Adams take a trip down memory lane to recap a massive year in the maker community. Alex Duffey shares his experience visiting the Next Wave CNC headquarters, offering a sneak peek into his factory tour and a major upcoming announcement. Meanwhile, Alex Adams detail his "ordeal" of milling a massive walnut tree and the meticulous process of removing buried nails to save his blades.

The hosts dive into their Best and Worst of 2025, covering everything from the triumph of the 27 church pews project and the redesign of the light-up UFOs to the disappointment of overproduced items like wooden notebooks and cheese knives. They also look ahead to 2026, setting ambitious goals for YouTube content, expanding retail partnerships, and making the pilgrimage to Maker Camp.

The episode wraps up with a huge thank you to the patrons who have supported the show's first year and a look at upcoming events, including the 2026 CNC Summit and Papa Chad’s spring event.
