In this episode we sit down with Tyler from Forg3D to talk shop organization, vacuum work holding, product design, and the realities of building tools for makers.

Tyler shares the story behind FORG3D — from rapid prototyping and sustainer organization systems to developing innovative vacuum work-holding solutions for makers, woodworkers, and contractors. The conversation dives deep into Grabo accessories, track saw vacuum systems, product development challenges, and how real-world shop problems inspire new tools.

The crew also gets into the frustrations of fiber lasers, engraving horror stories, production workflows, Etsy pricing wars, even social media fatigue.

Packed with maker talk, tool obsession, shop humor, and plenty of rabbit trails, this episode is a fun listen for anyone passionate about woodworking, fabrication, and creative problem-solving
