Maker Made Podcast

The guys both started revamping their Etsy storefronts based on some of the tips and tricks from @Ptreesworkshop !
Doggy wired 220V power for his shop all by himself; he hung up the outlets, ran the conduit and wires, and plugged the wire/breakers into his panel! He is pumped to start making stuff again! Ty is gearing up for a big charcuterie board order... 46 walnut boards are on deck!
Ty deals with some difficulties in getting paid on time by a large wholesaler on a big template
order - the guys discuss further options on including a late payment clause if clients don’t pay up when they are supposed to!
The guys have noticed a solid uptick in engagement and growth recently. Doggy hits 40,000
followers and Ty nears 30,000! Doggy posted a gnarly drywall patch a few weeks ago and got
clobbered by troll comments – the guys read some of the best and funniest comments!
Doggy takes a few minutes to nerd out about his job and why he’s in Florida this week!

Maker spotlight of the week is a good friend of the show, Charlie from @kollarhardwoods on Instagram!

Ty explains some recent laser issues that have been mostly resolved due to some great customer service! Doggy spent the weekend in Pensacola, Florida for a friend's wedding and is trying to stay motivated in the shop!
The guys talk about a few topics this week! There's an impromptu question about how they engage with their followers in a productive manner. Ty sheds some light on tinting stains - he explains what brands, colors, and types of stain he prefers to get the perfect color ! Lastly, the guys discuss the pros and cons of hiring an editor for Instagram videos and the podcast!

This week's maker spotlight: Nick from (@theworkinggrain on Instagram)! Nick is just getting his shop up and running after a long break from woodworking - he took some time off to help out at home after his son was born. He's simply a great dude and he works in physical therapy, so he's helped both of the guys work through some back pain over the years!

@Grabo.tools - The Nemo GRABO revolutionized the way construction professionals lift, carry and install heavy and awkward items. GRABO can lift tiles, natural stone, wet cast concrete pavers and many sheet goods used in general construction. This highly popular and trusted power tool, lives up to the promise of "Heavy Lifting – Made Easy”. GRABO is an ideal lifting tool for natural stone, rough patterned tiles, countertops, glass, diamond patterned steel (checker plate) and even slightly porous materials such as plywood and drywall. GRABO creates a powerful vacuum, and has a safe lifting capacity of up to 375 pounds. The ergonomic design provides maximum work efficiency. It is lightweight and can be easily carried around in a tool box. It's portability, simple operation, and performance make it a game-changer for professionals in the building and construction industry. It is also great for moving furniture and appliances. To lift any flat slab of solid material, simply turn on the GRABO and place it straight on the surface. Once the vacuum pump is activated, it creates a strong suction and firmly attaches to almost any surface, rough or smooth. This makes lifting panels or slabs, or even objects of different materials much easier.

Doggy starts off with his successful floating shelf install at a model home on a golf course before Ty talks about some of his recent struggles in the workshop. Ty has been very busy and has a big table and chair refinish job to get started on; Doggy slows down production before his cross-country move. Ty books a flight to Monterey to help Doggy load his moving truck - how cool is that?!
