## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss the backlash Diresta received for a video on making disposable razor blades from leftover epoxy, clarifying his intent was to reuse waste rather than promote disposability. The hosts explore broader themes of material stewardship, sharing stories about sourcing scrap wood like walnut and teak, and finding resources like Habitat for Humanity ReStores. They also cover practical workshop updates, including Clagett’s helmet hanger prototype, Picciuto’s shop wall renovation, and Diresta’s upcoming kitchen renovation and travel trailer project.
