Major thanks to our sponsor: Grabo! Check them out at the link below! @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 toolbox. 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.

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!

Ty talks about wholesale and his recent experience providing templates to large online retailers!
Doggy was under contract to buy a house, but it fell through; the seller couldn’t provide a clean title due to a bankruptcy in their past. So, he’s back to square one with house hunting and looking for shop!

The guys answer a question from @cadycreekwoodworks about router bits and flush trimming. Ty offers some insight on the router speed settings that he uses when he flush trims - Doggy leaves his router on full throttle at all times, often to his own detriment. Ryan, thank you so much for writing in with a question!

This week's maker spotlight: Ben from (@lostwoodscreative on Instagram)! The guys take a few minutes to fanboy about Ben and his incredible content!
