The Three Curmudgeons of Christmas Past, Present, and Future have returned to give you the greatest Christmas gift of all!  Over an hour of them talking about nothing!  Amidst that nothingness, the crew catches up with their recent adventures while talking about gift reciprocation.  Finally, they completely take credit for all the success their previous guests are now experiencing. 

Stay frosty,

Jeff, Jeff, Jesse - TMMP Crew

We are back, finally.  Apologies for the delay.  Sarge may have hit mute, but he also hit record so we can completely forgive him.  Well, we have hit that time of year when we get to hit that strategic pause button.  We want to send out our heartfelt thanks to all our wonderful guests; y'all have truly made this an excited and fruitful experience.  TMMP faced some pretty big changes this season, but in the end we are still here; we are still working hard to make this show a success.  We would love to hear from you all over the next couple months.  Please let us know what you liked or just as importantly, what you never want to hear again!  Alright heroes, go enjoy the holidays with your families and get prepared to kick it up a notch for 2023.

Much love and respect,

J.J.J.

Jesse’s Dirtbag Beard starts the show with our Guest Host, Nap from Naps Knotty Works.  Snow in July cuts Jesse’s hike short.  Sarge can’t seem to get guests’ IG handles suitable.  Sarge is late to the show. Lessons learned to check your tool’s feed and speeds.  This train is going off the rails. Nap gives a little background.  Ditty Moves… Prevent theft. Nap provides advice regarding active duty moves—paying out the Wazoo’s Flash.  Wiring Nap’s shop and comparing codes.  CNC fires and CNC talk.  Jesse points out Nap’s lousy attitude and Nap has been knotty in the past, and so much more.

Jesse retirement is good Hey Sarge I have some thought on that!  Do you need 2 bandsaws? Dual table overkill.   The whoas of active duty soldiers who have shops.  Keep it light and don't hold on to things you don't need or use.  The Harvey Saw saga continued.  Super High Quality tools with not ass.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting the CEO of Phantom CNC Systems, Steven Wallace.  Steven is a straight shooter, a man on a mission.  We start with a short intro covering Steven's Time in service and what led him to the creation of Phantom CNC.  
We think you will be surprised to discover some industry secrets that distinguish Phantom from other companies.  We cover business philosophy and how this correlates to Phantom's overall mission.  We cover technologies and the future of the CNC market.  Phantom CNC Systems is a small company, but they are making waves in the industry, forcing other companies to adjust or get out of the way, especially in the Small business market.  
We cover content creation and social media, how to utilize it, and what to prepare for.   How close is everyone to having the ability to operate a CNC? Pretty darn close.  Steven covers a feature on their CNC that others don't have; will it eliminate clamping?  Where Phantom CNC got its name.   No money in 3D carving.  We cover CAD and CAM software.  Sarge is shopping for a CNC.  Steve talks about interning Veterans and training customers.   Are they using CNCs to work concrete?  There is a lot more covered on the show, so that I won't give it away here. Just go ahead and listen!
