Strapped for cash in the holiday season? Here are a few ways you can try to make a quick buck - with reclaimed ethos, of course.
I feel confident in saying that this is the best Reclaimed Audio ever recorded and played. Phil, Bill, and Tom agree.
What's the silly, little tool you have that you don't REALLY need, but man, you are sure glad you have it when you need it?
Tim intentionally misspelled "nonsense" to reference this discussion of nominal measuring. He thought it was clever, you may disagree.
Pallets may be "free" but they may also be considered the 'price of admission' to woodworking.
Sometimes there's lemonade in those reclaimed lemons. (WARNING: DO NOT INGEST RECLAIMED LEMONADE)

Phil is away this week, which gave Bill and Tim and opportunity to totally geek out on their favorite reclaimed making fodder: guitars!

What's the next big thing in reclaimed? Spoiler alert! We don't know either, but we have a few ideas...
Phil and Tim discuss their "Every Day Carry" items and Bill shows his to anyone who can see through their speakers. The train comes off the rails a few times but no one gets seriously hurt.
Phil is in Dallas, sticking Tim with the editing duties. Tim is doing a fantastic job writing this description! He's the best at it! And Bill is there, too. Perhaps Tim should have taken a nap before writing this.
Ever measure twice and still mess up the cut? Listen in on this week's list of bonehead moves!
Too many makers in the shop spoils the project. Or something like that. Anyway, killer episode this week!
Tim says this was our best episode in at least a week. I'm not convinced. Either way, ENJOY!
Tim said this was our third worst episode ever. I'm not sure it's that good, but we had a great time!

Ever bitten off more than you could chew? Check out out our strategies for coping with big jobs!
You know... from the movie Speed? Anyway, we lob difficult maker situations at each other and watch as the others answer incorrectly. A good time for the whole family!

Before you reclaim and make new, can you fix the original item? Great question, Bill. Let's spend 57 minutes trying to answer it.
No joke you guys, this might be our best episode ever. That's not saying much, but still...
What would do and how would you do it, if time were not a factor? Tim said this was an "excellent" episode. I agree to disagree.
Solid episode about better ways to use our time in the shop. Is this podcast getting better? You better believe it!

In this one we talk about giving back and paying it forward. Tools, time, and Tim. This episode has it all.

Listener provided topic. Sort of. We kind of went off the rails in an amazing way this week. Listen and enjoy!
