## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss their current projects, including Diresta's Maloof-inspired rocking chair and boot knife for Nick's Boots, Picciuto's book and guitar pickup modifications, and Clagett's horizontal Murphy bed. The hosts analyze each other's 'superpowers,' identifying Picciuto's visual design consistency, Clagett's clear communication, and Diresta's problem-solving through tinkering. They also review industry news, specifically Fusion 360's changes to its free license, and recommend content from TFI, the Maker Mom podcast, and Mark Rober.
