  • Great show for the DIY crowd.

    I do really enjoy the show. Probably because I can relate to so many of the topics discussed. I wish Drew would come back. The chemistry between the three of them was about perfect. Still enjoy the show with Bruce and Mark but it’s not quite the same.

  • Entertaining and Informative

    This is a great podcast. Bruce, Drew, and Mark are a great listen. I discovered them about three months ago, and have binged up to the current episodes. They make my hour drive to work fly by and I’ve picked up many great maker tips. I feel like I’m sitting in my shop listening to three old friends. You won’t go wrong spending an hour or so with them every two weeks.
