Questions:
Evan Passo
Do you think I should make the trip and postpone the purchase of the saw for another couple months? Or should I go ahead with the purchase of the saw and plan on attending WorkbenchCon2026 or even another woodworking convention later in 2025?
Alex Adams

Rosie’s Woodshop
I’ll be at WBC. What should I bring?
Brandy, where do you get all of your design ideas?
Joe

Do you have to be a maker AND content creator?
Patrick Gensel

Brandy, you have such a recognizable brand, have you ever considered licensing your products to boutiques that share your style? If not, what is your roadmap for your business going forward?
Jeff Hanke
Brandy, you've talked about the stresses of moving into a big shop, Dan talks about always being behind on orders, Braden makes one thing a year, and Pete is perfect.. but how do you guys deal with those little shop stresses?
Like when I get a text from a customer asking where their piece is that they've been waiting on for 8 months. Do you have mid day meditation breaks? Mid day medication breaks? Leave the shop and clear your mind? Or work on something else?
