Deric left us unsupervised this week, and frankly, it took us almost a full human minute just to figure out how to start. Once we finally got the episode rolling, we went straight down a rabbit hole analyzing the absolute insanity of financing small purchases. We navigate the murky waters of creator motivation, sharing our personal strategies for breaking through creative roadblocks when you'd rather do house chores, or watch someone do them, than edit another timeline. We touch on the struggle of maintaining a consistent channel identity while pushing for bigger, more complex projects, and rant about the painful reality of 3D printing tolerances and prototyping waste. Plus, we debate whether we'd ever hand our voiceover scripts over to an AI (spoiler: not anytime soon). Grab a beverage and pull up a chair; it's a miracle the stream didn't crash. Got questions?

We somehow survived the melting point of summer to bring you another round of tool talk, tech rants, and questionable homeowner decisions. Zac gives us the lowdown on the Fantic electronic screwdriver and Eric dives deep into the infuriating world of proprietary flashlight chargers. We take a hard look at obsolete tech—RIP Yellow Pages and dashboard Garmins—before venturing into the awkward social dynamics of hiring a handyman versus a licensed contractor. Do you hover while they work, or just offer the bathroom and hide? Plus, we break down why giving away free stuff on the internet might actually be a terrible idea.Got questions?

We’re back at it and diving into the most polarizing topic on the internet: how to pronounce tool brands. Whether you’re Team Blum or Team Bloom, we've got thoughts. We also debate the merits of hiring out chores—is paying the neighborhood lawn guy or a dog walker worth the money, and more importantly, do you actually tip them? Because tipping culture is the wild west of financial gratitude.Then, we share our favorite life hacks. From gamifying grocery bagging to showering efficiently and extracting every microscopic drop of toothpaste, we’re out here trying to save you time and energy. Plus, Zac is overhauling his N64 mod with some 3D printed textures, and Deric gives us an update on his hernia recovery (spoiler: he's finally out of the binder and looking for a worthy contender to take the belt from him).

Grab a seat and a cold drink; you’re right on time. We're back in the shop and diving straight into the usual chaos. Deric is healing up nicely from his surgery, sporting a fresh medical-grade WWE championship belt and plotting some 3D-printed accessories. Meanwhile, Eric takes us on a trip down memory lane to recount the sheer terror of meeting a girlfriend's dad at fifteen—a man who casually challenged him to a duel with a piranha tank. We’re also tearing into the ridiculousness of AI straight-up gaslighting us over car parts and pitching a million-dollar app concept to finally solve the eternal "where do you want to eat?" marital dispute.Later, we marvel at a Chinese DeWalt planer clone that's borderline indistinguishable from the real thing, debate the necessity of 1,200 ft-lbs of torque to change a tire, and mourn a neighbor’s mismatched vinyl siding tragedy. From vintage Nintendo flexes to the 4:30 PM senior dinner special, we cover all the crucial making, breaking, and fixing you need to get through the week. Let’s get into it.Got questions?

We are thrilled to report that Deric is back. He’s fresh out of the hospital after an emergency surgery. While he was stuck in a hospital bed eavesdropping on a mysterious old lady who woke up with a broken hip, Eric has been watching the charred remains of his neighbor's house get picked apart by a ServPro investigation team. We've got some serious concerns about local construction safety after Eric witnessed a roofer being dangled by his ankles over a three-story drop just to staple down some Tyvek wrap. We also dive deep into the underbelly of scammy marketing emails, using ChatGPT to break down exactly how these "agencies" can magically guarantee you $3,000 a day in extra revenue without any risk. Plus, Deric shares his new favorite strategy for dealing with telemarketers.Zac shares some behind-the-scenes struggles from his recent course launch, proving that troubleshooting tech glitches is a universal nightmare.Got questions?

With Deric out sick, Eric and Zac are left to hold Off The Cut together on their own, which goes about as smoothly as expected. This week, they talk course launches, woodworking content, Gorilla Glue, CA glue storage, and the chaos that happens when the tech guy is missing. Eric also shares a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo where he watched someone ignore every survival instinct and pet a cheetah through the fence. Naturally, that leads to a deep dive on zoo animals, manatees, Joe Exotic, blue whales, buffets, travel, and why the whole world needs to pick one side of the road already.Got questions?

We're breaking down the unspoken rules of hobbies—like why rolling up to a hockey game with white gloves or carrying a pristine, scratch-free skateboard automatically makes you look like a total noob. We vent about the absolute misery of video editing software when it inexplicably pauses your render at 12% for days, eating up 40+ hours of troubleshooting to no avail. We also dive into the absurd hoops you have to jump through to set up online courses and battle anti-piracy browser blockersPlus, there's nothing quite like waking up to your neighbor's house engulfed in flames , forcing you to frantically hose down your own roof. Oh, and we share some choice words for subscription models trying to bleed us dry. Grab your Festool air purifier —it's getting smoky in hereGot questions?

Welcome back to the shop, friends. We're kicking things off with the bizarre mystery of the YouTube algorithm—specifically how a 40-minute, 10-out-of-10 stinker of a garage upgrade video miraculously resurrected itself after a long Memorial Day weekend Deric scored a 16-speed Central Machinery drill press at a yard sale for 30 bucks, which naturally leads to us brainstorming how to custom-paint it like a WWII bomber. We debate the dreaded "puzzle moment" of a project—that soul-crushing point where you solve the complex part and instantly lose all motivation to finish the tedious sanding. Grab a cold beverage, ignore the neighbors creeping up your driveway to ask what you're doing, and let's get into it.Got questions?
