The guys record their first episode in a few months! They were busy with life and the podcast took a backseat. Doggy has been traveling a lot and is batching out loads of inventory for a few craft fair weekends that he has coming up in September! Ty is getting close to closing on his new house and shop, and is super excited to share some content around getting his house remodeling and shop set up!!

The guys bring back their buddy, Kris Johnson to talk!

Kris talks about his working trip to Tucson, AZ to do some work for the border patrol. Doggy talks about his new role at his office and some exciting news about his OMTech laser engraver! Ty has a pretty packed few weeks ahead for WWC!

The guys chat about their general low interest levels for creating content at the moment. They get into how they've gained inspiration in the past and how they might use that in the future for content creation!

The guys bring on a special guest, Kris Johnson! Kris works with Tyler and continues to grow in his expertise, skills, and responsibilities at Westfall Wood Co. (WWC). Kris starts off with how he met Ty and Doggy before he discusses his role at WWC and the skills he brings to the team. The guys make fun of Kris for his initial speed at sanding cutting boards before building him up a little bit.

The guys talk about 3D drawing vs. pencil sketches - the pros and cons for both quick sketches and detailed sketches for yourself and for the client. Kris brings up sharpening knives and chisels, and how Tyler has never seen (or used) a chisel in his life; he discusses day-to-day operations at WWC and the tasks he takes on as the first "employee."
