    In this episode, we have a special guest, Marissa Pasternak from The Burned Edge. Marissa and her husband Stephen have been running a successful Etsy business selling products that they make using traditional woodworking and a CO2 Laser.

This episode is jammed-packed with great information and advice as she shares how they got started and what they do to keep their business growing on Etsy.







    The Burned Edge has been selling on Etsy since 2019 and has 1,777 sales as of this recording, with a national rank of 31,000 in terms of the number of items sold. They have sold more than 96.3% of other shops on Etsy.

    Think It. Make It. Podcast Episode #025 – Helping Friends Now That You Have A CNC – Challenge Update.

    Think It. Make It. Podcast Episode #025 – Helping Friends Now That You Have A CNC – Challenge Update.

    In this episode, we discuss how having a CNC can lead to friends and family asking for favors and how to schedule this so it is not a major disruption to your business. We all want to help friends and it can be exciting to make things for people, especially when you first get your machine, but keep in mind that if you are building a business, your time is going to become more valuable, and saying YES to a friend on a project could impact a paying customer or at the very least your personal free time to meet all your commitments.







    We also discuss Greg and Bobby’s projects as they both made some progress – Greg with his lithophane and Bobby with his first go at the V Carve Inlay. Here are some pics of their projects.

    Think It. Make It. Podcast Episode #023 – What To Expect When You’re Expecting… A CNC Router

    Think It. Make It. Podcast Episode #023 – What To Expect When You’re Expecting… A CNC Router

    In this episode Erick and Greg discuss all the things you need to know and be aware of when you decide to buy or are considering to buy a CNC. While it is not hard by any means and we feel virtually anyone can learn and be successful with a CNC router, it is always best to know what you are in for ahead of time to help you with your decisions along the way. Things like:







    * What size machine to buy?* What spindle do you need?* Can you upgrade in the future?* What optional accessories does that CNC Company offer?* What software do you need?* What type of material are you going to process?* What tooling do you need?* How do you plan to hold your material down?
