Special aftershow with Bill from Punished Props! This was such a fun video you guys. This seems to be a trend after we try something new for the first time, but now we want to make all sorts of metal things! It's so fun and satisfying. In this aftershow
-introduction to Safety Bob (his sticker says "Likes To Make Stuff")
Wish I could have shared this earlier but I wanted to add some improvements to the design after assembling it and then I had this OCD urge to add every bit of hardware to the CAD model but it's finally done and you can get it here!! (link below and archive attached)
Hey guys! We're working on a new pair of shirt designs to go along with a project we have coming up where we're gonna encourage people to vote for "team pocket hole" or "team joinery." What do you guys think of the designs? Think people would be into them? Thanks! -K
