The One Where They Name Zac's Tool (Ep 176)
from Off the Cut Podcast · host Eric Spencley, Zac Builds and Deric Jennings
The full crew is finally back! In this week's episode, join Zac, Deric, and Eric as we dive into a wide-ranging discussion covering everything from our latest projects to the business of content creation. Zac shares his journey of switching his entire cordless tool collection to DeWalt, revealing the strategic deals he's making on Facebook Marketplace. This sparks a lively debate on the pros and cons of cordless tools, particularly the notoriously frustrating cordless sanders. Zac shows off the final version of his 3D-printed soldering fume extractor, and Deric and Eric offer some great advice on making products more marketable for the maker community. We also touch on Eric's massive drawer box course project, the challenges of creating detailed, long-form educational content, and the importance of having a robust content strategy. Plus, we answer a LIVE chat question about using power tool batteries to run camera equipment for YouTube videos. Tune in for insights on DIY projects, YouTube growth, and a peek behind the curtain of the creator economy!Got a question that you want us to answer?
