Ep. 71: The World's Cutest Vice (and Other Lies)
About this episode
The episode explores humorous mishaps and creative projects of machinists fueled by caffeine.
Ever wondered what happens when two machinists get slightly too much caffeine and absolutely no supervision? This week on the Lone Machinist Podcast: * One of us falls headfirst into an ERP system that started as "just a quick tool"… and is now basically a full-blown operating system * The other accidentally becomes a sticker manufacturer and nearly buys a $2000 mistake off Marketplace * There's a tiny dovetail vice so cute it should come with a warning label * We talk shop spaces, power problems, and why 63 amps feels like a personality trait * And yes… someone designed a magnetic spinning window thing after being peer pressured on Discord (as one does) Also featuring: ✔ Chip welding rage ✔ Packaging glow-ups nobody asked for ✔ Questionable naming decisions ✔ And the phrase "spinning disk of justice," which is now legally binding If you like machining, making things, or slowly turning simple ideas into wildly overengineered projects… welcome home.
