Episode 2

We’re treating thisone as the real first episode of the reboot.
Last week was the warm-up. This week we actually did it properly.

🎙️ Who We Are — The Intro We Forgot to Do LastTime

Since we’re expectingnew listeners with the fresh format, we finally introduce ourselves properly:
– Who we are
– What we make
– What we do on YouTube/social media
– And why three very different makers ended up doing a podcast together

📱 Social Media Talk — How We Actually Make MoneyOnline

We dig into therealities of running workshops and running social media:
– Where money actually comes from
– The different ways we each approach content
– What works for us, what doesn’t, what burns us out
– Turning making into part of your livelihood without losing your mind

Honest, blunt, and notas glamorous as people think.

💪 Gym Chat & Christmas Motivation

It’s that time of yearwhen everyone suddenly decides to “get back on it.”
We talk training, routines, Christmas chaos, and how a bit of fitness fits intoa maker’s lifestyle.

🛠️ Segment of the Week: “What’s a SurprisinglyGood Tool?”

This week’s picks:

Why they made thelist, how we use them, and why they stand out.

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.)
