June 15, 2021Episode 06 - If Yoda Was a Maker
Past projects they are most proud of, advice for new makers, and what would Yoda say if he was a maker? Join Jake and Sean as we talk about some of life's biggest questions around making and woodworking. Also, Jake nearly joins the Dark Side.
Quick Tip from Sean: when buying a square from the "Big Box Store" take it over to the tile section and find the most expensive tile in stock. Use the tile to check that the square is actually square BEFORE buying it. This will save you a TON of frustration on your next project.
Tool of the Week (Recommendations)
Sean: Invest in quality sandpaper and abrasives. Such as Mirca brand: https://bit.ly/3iGvgE6
