Q&A:

James Fruge: Maybe y'all can cover this on a future episode. Is it necessary to have a shaper and a router? What are the pros and cons of each?

Shawn K​: I’d like to know what keeps you guys motivated to build? Do outside influences like a giant jackman utility knife build help fuel the desire to get in the shop?

Make Brooklyn: What was your most heartbreaking project fail as a maker and did you share it online? Did you later salvage it somehow?
