The Timber Bros Podcast

The Timber Bros Podcast is where sawdust meets soul. Hosted by two mates who believe building with your hands builds your head too, this podcast explores woodworking as both a craft and a form of mental fitness. Each episode blends real talk on mental health with practical tradecraft—covering tools, joinery, finishing, safe techniques, and the hard-earned lessons that only come from time in the shop. We dig deep into resin and hybrid builds (what works, what fails, and how to fix it), break down industry trends like sustainability, new materials, and tech.

    EP01 - Measure Twice, Cut Once, Talk Anytime

    The Timber Bros: Measure Twice, Cut Once, Talk Anytime G’day and welcome to The Timber Bros. Join Plummo (Plummos Timber) and Hazy (Hazys Wood)—two mates with 20+ years in the Emergency Services, a shed full of tools, and a passion for turning wood into something better than just sawdust. This isn't your average "how-to" show; it’s a deep dive into the craft of woodworking blended with honest, unfiltered conversations about men’s health and the power of mateship. We’re here for the laughs, the lessons, and the mistakes you only make once... or six times. We aren't qualified pros; we’re students of the "School of Hard Knocks," sharing our wins and our "Finishing Fails" with absolutely no grace—just the way we like it. Every episode, we break down the technical and the personal through our signature segments: Timber Joy: Exploring grains, patterns, and the best uses for everything from forgiving Pine to stubborn Hardwoods. Resin Roundup: Navigating the "science experiment" of epoxy, from filling knot-holes to mastering the "river table" pour. Jig of the Week: Shop-made hacks that turn basic tools into precision machines. Tool Time: Honest reviews of the gear we love and hate, covering everything from the "Swiss Army Knife" of the shop (the Bandsaw) to the safety gear that keeps us in one piece. Finishing Fails: A safe space for when you’ve slaved over a project only to screw up the final coat. Heartwood (Men’s Health): The most important segment of the show. We talk openly about mental health, PTSD, and how the workshop provides a therapeutic escape from the stresses of life. We’re building a staple for Aussie blokes (and anyone else who likes the smell of sawdust) to engage in a like-minded community. Whether you're a woodworker, resin artist, or metal worker, there’s a seat at the bench for you. From the Shed Floor: We answer your questions, share listener disaster stories, and celebrate your wins. Guest Interviews: Hearing from DIYers and experts alike who have a story to tell. Supporting the Next Gen: We’re passionate about fostering young talent through our future Woodwork Trainees Program and promoting Aussie small businesses. New episodes drop monthly. Everything we talk about is based on our own experiences. We aren't doctors or trades instructors, just two blokes who believe the world is a better place with you in it. Subscribe, pull up a stool, and let’s talk shop. Remember: No project’s perfect. Measure twice, cut once, and talk anytime.
