Ep. 67: One More Machine Will Fit (Trust Me)
About this episode
The episode features chaotic engineering discussions as the hosts navigate mishaps in their workshop.
This week on The Lone Machinist Podcast, things go exactly as planned, which is to say, absolutely not at all. Curt successfully fixes a lens right up until the exact moment he completely destroys it, proving once again that "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is" is less of a motto and more of a lifestyle. Meanwhile, Jamie is deep in tolerance stack-up hell, rearranging his entire workshop like a man trying to fit a king-size bed into a shoebox, all while seriously considering trading financial stability for "just one more machine." There's anodizing experiments that may or may not dissolve parts into oblivion, discussions about balls, pins, and why nothing ever lines up the way it should, plus a deeply unnecessary but unforgettable segment titled "you poo, I watch." It's engineering, it's chaos, it's questionable decision-making at its finest, so grab a drink, lower your expectations, and enjoy the ride.
