Clearing the air first, we will not take the intro songs out of the podcast. It’s only like 12-15 seconds of the 1+ hour podcast and it’s just fun to put some different and zany intro tracks in for each week

Todd then rants about breaking and snapping hobby knife blades, which takes up about 10 more minutes than it should… But we enjoy stepping onto our soapboxes from time to time and this topic is something that we’ve all had problems with.

Here’s the link to the 100 pack of #11 brand name blades we were talking about: https://amzn.to/35pvWnu (affiliate link)

AND if you’re feeling lucky, here’s the off-brand 140 pack for half the price: https://amzn.to/2KYvi91 (affiliate link)

After Todd’s little rant about hobby knife blades, we cover what we’re currently working on, including the Sassen Vinegar Works build, the FOS Yard Office and Palzer’s Plumbing from Mine Mount Models.

We then get into our Patron questions/topics for the week and cover things from how we design and assemble scratch-builds, to how we deal with breaking walks and mess-ups during our builds. 

Oh yeah… And please don’t build with balsa wood…. From our balsa wood rant. And for our balsa wood rant, you can check out the info on Balsa here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochroma 

And you can take a walk down memory lane with a balsa wood airplane kit! https://amzn.to/2OD5Gze (shameless affiliate link)
