Off the Cut Podcast

We’re back and somehow Deric survived driving through the absolute chaos of Midtown Manhattan without getting a single New York honk. While Deric was out dodging rats and locked-up CVS candy bars, Eric managed to accidentally launch a full-scale manufacturing facility in his closet. His new Glue Dock went so incredibly viral that he had to nearly buy out the local Best Buy's stock of 3D printers just to keep his head above water.
We also dive into the drama surrounding the upcoming Kreg Domino clone—is it actually a Festool killer, or just a track saw situation all over again? Plus, we touch on why all of our hobbies are brutally expensive. Is Mattress Firm a money-laundering front? How to quiet down a 3D print farm before the vibrations drive you insane.
Grab a drink, pull up a stool, and let’s get after it.

We dive headfirst into the ongoing nightmare of managing a 63,000-person email list and how sending out a free tool list is a surprisingly great way to figure out who is actually paying attention. Zac shows off his custom clear Nintendo Switch case, and we debate if it's better to 3D print it yourself or just pay a professional to do it.
Things get a little unhinged as we confess to chopping up old, unneeded furniture projects for firewood rather than dealing with the hassle of passing them off. We also brainstorm a million-dollar neighborhood trash can cleaning business called "Klean Kans," but it might already be taken. We talk about the horrors of 3D printer maintenance after ignoring it for three years, and the sketchy science behind ozone generators. Finally, we vent about the absolute worst part of modern online shopping: the gamification of checkout screens and fake reward currencies.

Deric left us unsupervised this week, and frankly, it took us almost a full human minute just to figure out how to start. Once we finally got the episode rolling, we went straight down a rabbit hole analyzing the absolute insanity of financing small purchases. We navigate the murky waters of creator motivation, sharing our personal strategies for breaking through creative roadblocks when you'd rather do house chores, or watch someone do them, than edit another timeline. We touch on the struggle of maintaining a consistent channel identity while pushing for bigger, more complex projects, and rant about the painful reality of 3D printing tolerances and prototyping waste. Plus, we debate whether we'd ever hand our voiceover scripts over to an AI (spoiler: not anytime soon). Grab a beverage and pull up a chair; it's a miracle the stream didn't crash.

We somehow survived the melting point of summer to bring you another round of tool talk, tech rants, and questionable homeowner decisions. Zac gives us the lowdown on the Fantic electronic screwdriver and Eric dives deep into the infuriating world of proprietary flashlight chargers. We take a hard look at obsolete tech—RIP Yellow Pages and dashboard Garmins—before venturing into the awkward social dynamics of hiring a handyman versus a licensed contractor. Do you hover while they work, or just offer the bathroom and hide? Plus, we break down why giving away free stuff on the internet might actually be a terrible idea.

We’re back at it and diving into the most polarizing topic on the internet: how to pronounce tool brands. Whether you’re Team Blum or Team Bloom, we've got thoughts. We also debate the merits of hiring out chores—is paying the neighborhood lawn guy or a dog walker worth the money, and more importantly, do you actually tip them? Because tipping culture is the wild west of financial gratitude.
Then, we share our favorite life hacks. From gamifying grocery bagging to showering efficiently and extracting every microscopic drop of toothpaste, we’re out here trying to save you time and energy. Plus, Zac is overhauling his N64 mod with some 3D printed textures, and Deric gives us an update on his hernia recovery (spoiler: he's finally out of the binder and looking for a worthy contender to take the belt from him). Step out of the shop for a minute and hang out with us!
