Typically we would mention all of the companies below, but this episode is a little different. If you want to know what's going on in the shop give this a listen, but the real parts in this episode come after. This episode is a statement to those out there that have forgotten what it means to actually be a community. We delve into a deep conversation and leave a statement that should hit hard for all of us makers out there.

So this episode is a little different from most, we ventured out and talked to one of them pallet wood guys..  Okay all joking aside, we talked to a maker named Corey, listed in the mentions, that deals in reclaimed hardwood from historical buildings, some as early as the 1700s. This was a fun episode getting to hear how much work goes into dealing with lumber that is not pre shaped, bugless etc., (we are bougie like that lol). Nick finished his long awaited podium build and he is still pumping many projects out. Josh has a lot going on in the shop as well even if it is not jobs. It has been a little slow for him lately but he is keeping busy. Nap is getting his life together, made a few things and showed the Patrons a piece of what he was working on in the live video.  Nick and Nap get into it about the SAWSTOP so that's a fun little back and forth that you do not wanna miss. He has his heater as well and that is being installed this next week, ready to get fully at it. Hope you like this episode, go make some sawdust, SAWDUST NATION OUT!!!

Okay so this one time... I was using my laser I set my laser on fire.. wait that was Nick... In this episode we have special guest host AJ from Crafted In NJ crashing the party after our live and bringing us some great conversation and fun! He talks about his shop and the crazy amount of awesome flags he makes out of his shop. Josh has more than enough going on in his shop with all the projects and an "unsatisfied" customer. Nick did set his laser on fire lol but listen to hear more on that. He is finishing a few jobs and getting more on a daily. Nap is gaining traction with his customer base here in North Dakota and it is getting crazy already. Listen to this episode to catch some great content and maybe pick up some tips and ideas. Have a great day, go make some sawdust, SAWDUST NATION OUT!

Lasers, shop improvements, and reels take the stage this episode. Our special guest Victor from WIMM Designs talks about his shop journey and what the laser has done for his shop. Nick has been jobbing it and knocking his long list down. Nap has his shop up and starting to get ready to take orders and become official in North Dakota. Josh is pushing himself to try out new techniques in the shop. Of course we have a few questions and some topics sprinkled in this episode because it wouldn't be an episode without a few rabbit holes.

Welcome to another episode of the Sawdust Nation Podcast with our special guest Matt Voeltner back on the show to unveil his secret sauce. In this episode he lets us know how he went from 10k to 20k followers in a small amount of time!!! Gave us some good pointers for sure but we will preface that no one knows that crazy algorithm IG has but darn it I think Matt is on to something. Nap is BACK!!! he finally got some jobs and has very little to finish getting up before he makes his first cut on a project!! Josh is swamped with projects and crazy clients that have had a hard time specifying what it is they want... what they really really want, and it has caused some extra pain for him and his shop. Nick got his Avid extrusions and is just awaiting the brains of the outfit and is like a kid on Christmas just hoping the rest comes soon! You do not want to miss this episode of the podcast because it was a damn good episode and Matt totally carried us (ha ha ha)! Hope you enjoy it, go make some sawdust, SAWDUST NATION OUT!!!
