Ever wonder what it's like to run a one-person shop? In this candid episode of Whatcha Makin', Alex Duffey and Alex Adams pull back the curtain on the upsides and downsides of flying solo. They discuss the freedom of being your own boss, the struggle of having no helping hands, and how to combat burnout when everything falls on you.

Hear what they're making this week, from a production run of 120 wooden cheese knives to new vendor signs with QR codes, and get updates on the latest in 3D printing and side tables. They also get real about what's "breaking," including a CNC water pump issue and scratched 3D printer coolplates. Plus, don't miss Duffey's record-breaking sales numbers and a fresh "Whatcha Watchin'" segment that spotlights incredible projects from fellow makers in the community.

Tune in for an honest look at the maker life, packed with practical insights, laughs, and solid advice for anyone thinking of going it alone!
