Episode 1 — TheReboot: New Format, New Energy, Same Idiots (Mostly)

This week marks theofficial reboot of the podcast. After years of winging it, rambling, moaning,and generally hoping for the best, we’ve decided it’s time for a fresh start.The old format has been canned, the slate wiped clean, and we’re kicking off anew, more intentional and professional version of the show — without losing thebanter that got us here in the first place.

In this first episodeof the new era we talk openly about why we’re changing things up:

– We’ve outgrown the“hit record and hope” approach

– We want betterconversations, better structure, and better value for listeners

– We want to grow theaudience beyond just knife-makers and workshop nerds

– And frankly… we werebored of listening to ourselves moan every week

Then we get into thegood stuff.

 Segment: Laser Talk — LP5, XTool &BWM

We little dive intothe LaserPecker 5, the XTool machines, the BWM fibre lasers, and thedifferences between diode and fibre setups. What each is good for, what’smarketing nonsense, and what’s actually worth your money if you’re a maker,small business, or YouTuber.

 Segment: “What’s the Worst Tool You’veEver Bought?”

A new possiblerecurring segment where each of us confesses the most useless, disappointing,or rage-inducing tool we've ever spent money on. Some of these are shockers.One of us clearly still isn’t over it.

 What This Reboot Means

We explain our goalfor the new series:

– More structured,more thoughtful episodes

– Actual workshopstalk that’s useful

– Current affairs,business, content creation, and craft

– Less ranting for thesake of it

– A show sponsorswon’t run away from

– And somethinglisteners can actually take value from each week

It’s still us. Stillthe same humour. Still the same chaos in places. Just… grown up a bit.

(But not too much —don’t worry, we kept Onur on a short leash this episode.)
