Whats on our bench: 🎶
Pete got his new laser working, set up his new Onefinity CNC, got a Power Wheels F-150 for Juniper that needs a ton of work and he wants to restore, and had Justin Mabie stop by to record a maker documentary about him.

Dan has been slammed with table orders, including the ones for Nick Brim, worked on the built ins with Braden.

Braden has a ton of craft fairs coming up, he’s prototyping some new items for the fairs, but first has to figure out his CNC upgrades. 

Questions:
Jeremy Claybaugh
I want an extension hose for my shop vac that I use for sanding. Is Cen Tech the way to go or is there something else?

Dustin
Shop Humble
I’m currently dealing with a lot of unexpected changes in my 9-5 that are causing me to work more hours and adding to my stress levels. I like my shop time to be a way for me to mentally reset but it’s becoming a struggle. How do you guys go about this handle times like this? Any tricks or tips you can share?

A potential customer wants me to 3D engrave a lake into a cookie. What can I do to prevent further cracking and to seal it and make sure it looks good and the carbs good in the future. It is a red oak cookie.

Stephen Hawker 
Recycled Wood Co.
I am going to make a solid wood vanity because I hate myself. What type of finish would you use to keep the wood feeling but protect it from the environment?
It will just be the casework that will be wood as the top is stone!
Bummer about me not getting to give you all cuddles in a couple of weeks at maker camp, as I’m not able to get to America now. Have fun, I might see you all next year!!
