In this absolutely respectable and definitely clean Episode 69 of the Lone Machinist Podcast… things go off the rails in under 2 minutes.

We kick things off with Curt accidentally spending what could’ve been a small mortgage payment on sticker equipment, because apparently “I can make my own stickers” is a perfectly valid financial strategy. Meanwhile, Jamie goes full outdoorsman, hosting a bachelor party that involves mud drifting, bass fishing domination, and aggressively avoiding anything resembling a normal bachelor party.

Somewhere in between:

• A vinyl cutter that definitely didn’t fall off a truck (probably)
• A fishing trip that cured burnout better than therapy
• CNC projects that make you question your life choices
• A Masso retrofit that somehow actually worked
• And just enough questionable jokes to remind you… yeah, this is Episode 69

Also, we tried to keep it civil.

We did not succeed.

If you like machining, bad decisions, and the kind of conversations that start technical and end with “how did we get here?”, you’re in the right place.

Come for the CNC talk
Stay for the chaos
Leave wondering why anyone owns this many stickers
