Ep. 45 Finding Your Niche


Listen Later

In this episode of Watcha Makin, hosts Alex Adams (Type A Furniture) and Alex Duffey (Duffey Woodcraft) dive into the core concept of finding your niche as a maker, while sharing their latest updates from the workshop bench.

On the Bench & Whatcha Breakin'
  • Alex Duffey celebrates finishing all of his inventory for the upcoming UFO Fest four days ahead of schedule! He shares details on his custom UFO lights with miniature Sasquatches, cows, and trees, showcasing a magnetic levitating model on Instagram, and dives into his thoughts on the government's recent UFO file drops.
  • Alex Adams has been running his 3D printers non-stop to restock for the local farmers market. He breaks down his latest prints—from self-locking hitch covers and articulated "derpy eye" animals to complex wind spinners and a massive 8-piece Stormtrooper helmet. He also recounts the trials of printing with brittle filament, 3D printing snafus, and a backyard stump-removal project that turned into a muddy mess.
The Price is Wrong (Selling Updates)
  • Duffey highlights a massive win: selling three of his large light-up UFOs before the festival even starts, completely covering his booth fee.
  • Adams recaps his successful experience at an early-season farmers market preview and how his son's toy mortar print helped grab the attention of passersby.
