Logan Newman

Book HERE <--

https://www.newmanspecials.com/

https://www.instagram.com/newmanspecialswoodwork

Teacher, woodworker, and author Logan Newman joins hosts Braden and Dan to discuss his first published woodworking book, a beginner’s guide to routers built from two decades of hands-on experience. He explains the book’s nine router jigs and three projects, the demanding process of writing and photographing it, and how demonstrating his small-shop tools at a woodworking event turned into a busy sales booth. Dan, Braden, and Logan Newman trade maker-camp stories before getting into practical woodworking and maker-business conversations. Logan explains his simple shooting-board design and why buying time-saving jigs can be worthwhile, while the group covers Etsy’s AI policy, 3D-printer rumors, shipping furniture safely, and managing orders that aren’t worth the effort. Braden, Dan, and Logan Newman wrap up a nearly two-hour woodworking and small-business conversation with shop updates, product talk, and listener questions. They recount Dan’s frustrating tire-ordering saga, discuss Braden’s CNC expansion and controller upgrade, and share practical advice on glue, saw blades, and shop equipment.

This week in Maker News 📰

• Dewalt launched and showcased a bunch of new tools
• Michael Alm has a new joint idea
• Two Moose made a cool 3D carve on the CNC (Maui hook from Moana)
• Serious Drama in the maker community.

Whats on our bench: 🎶

Pete has been working on the honey-do-list projects while the girls were out of town, doing all the loud projects, framed out the mechanical room and drywalled a bunch of the interior walls in the basement.

Dan had a busy week, got a few large orders out the door, and got some relaxing in for once.

Braden is working on a quick bedframe build, got his plywood for the Pete squared, has been working his butt off to get parts cut ASAP but he’s hitting bottlenecks, and is dealing with scaling and piles of sawdust he can’t get rid of fast enough.

Questions:

Alex Adams

I’m making a frame for a TV for a customer and I need some advice on how to mount the doors so that they stay out of the way.

Whats on our bench: 🎶

Pete helped Keith in his shop on a custom desk build for an audio obsessed customer, had to cut down a unique tree on his property, and expanded the garden to grow more fruit trees.

Dan modified his CNC to cut tenons for his tables, he’s leaning into his trad wife era making strawberry syrup, and he celebrated pride month.

Braden decided to cut a hole in his (and Dan’s CNC) to do vertical work holding for cutting tenons, got Dan’s new jointer set up, and finalized his dust collection.

Questions:

Trash Panda Wood

I’m completely redoing the whole damn shop. It’s 24 ft x 36 ft. I have the tools I like. But I need to build out my shop furniture. In your opinion what are the must have shop furniture pieces and the “leave that for some YouTuber to do” projects?

Mike Johnson

Beveled Edge Creative Works

I want to build a side business. What advice would you give a veteran woodworker that's looking to move into selling more projects?

Charlie

Pickering Design

When selling a digital file with a commercial license, do you increase the cost of the file?

Drew

Woodshop Out Back

What is your process for cleaning up laser engravings?

What about the engraving dictates different clean up methods?

Adam
Rockdoc Woodshop

I am building a dog crate for our new pup. Normally I would go to GF arm-r-seal. But wanted to see if you guys had a better

recommendation at least for the bottom piece (toe nails, and let's be honest bowel movements may occur, so cleaning will be a thing)

It's all solid walnut - you can check my posts to see the mid century design.
