Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Swedes & Snuba
Q: What would you do if a service that used to carry your company is slowing down more profitable work?
The hosts recommend comparing time and revenue, considering whether the service brings customers to other offerings, and potentially assigning the work to another employee before deciding to discontinue it.
Swedes & Snuba
Q: What resin are you using for your hybrid handles? Do you use a pressure pot?
Geoff uses TotalBoat Fathom Thick Set, stabilizes and dries the wood before casting, and recommends allowing ample curing time. The hosts suggest vibration as another way to release bubbles.
The Shirtless Welder
Q: When did you realize you could go full time with this after doing it as a passion?
Most speakers describe a gradual realization in their late 20s or early 30s, driven by a combination of opportunity, a supportive partner, and a clear shift from hobby to business.
Number 1
Q: What length turns a knife into a sword, and is a machete considered a sword?
They discuss blade length thresholds (roughly around 12 inches or more for longer blades) and acknowledge that classifications can vary by use and jurisdiction, with examples like gladius and wakizashi serving as context.
Number 1
Q: Is it better to build a dedicated shop space or add power to an existing outbuilding?
The hosts suggest evaluating space, cost, and permits, leaning toward using a smaller, existing structure with added power for a lean, less invasive setup unless there is a clear path to a larger, fully dedicated space.
