He explains the book’s nine router jigs and three projects, the demanding process of writing and photographing it, and how demonstrating his small-shop tools at a woodworking event turned into a busy sales booth. Dan, Braden, and Logan Newman trade maker-camp stories before getting into practical woodworking and maker-business conversations. Logan explains his simple shooting-board design and why buying time-saving jigs can be worthwhile, while the group covers Etsy’s AI policy, 3D-printer rumors, shipping furniture safely, and managing orders that aren’t worth the effort. Braden, Dan, and Logan Newman wrap up a nearly two-hour woodworking and small-business conversation with shop updates, product talk, and listener questions. They recount Dan’s frustrating tire-ordering saga, discuss Braden’s CNC expansion and controller upgrade, and share practical advice on glue, saw blades, and shop equipment.
