Welcome to the first episode of 2026! Alex Duffey and Alex Adams dive deep into the world of content creation for makers. Whether you are a "beginner" filming on an old iPhone or an "intermediate" creator investing in lighting and specialized gear like the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, this episode breaks down how to get started and refine your style. The hosts discuss the importance of "frictionless" filming, the power of good audio, and how even mundane shop tasks like flattening a router sled can go viral with the right camera angles.

In the shop, the guys are shaking off the holiday rush. Alex Duffey recaps his factory tour at Next Wave CNC in Ohio (and a legendary "punch bucket" incident), while Alex Adams is deep into milling a massive walnut dining table and troubleshooting 3D printer bed adhesion issues caused by the winter cold. Plus, the duo talks about their current "Lego January" tradition and the launch of a new CNC coaching community with Andy Bird.
