## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss their current projects, including Jimmy's receipt of a massive Elegoo Orangestorm Giga 3D printer, David's construction of marquetry skateboards, and Jimmy's process of forging a chain from rebar. The conversation shifts to the practical challenges of owning and using trailers, the difficulties of driving manual transmission vehicles on hills, and Jimmy's recent repair of his Toyota Land Cruiser's clutch slave cylinder. They also debate which workshop tools they would sacrifice if forced to downsize their spaces.
