This week on Whatcha Makin', Alex Duffey and Alex Adams dive into the ultimate maker debate: learning online versus learning in person! They compare the pros and cons of YouTube University and paid online courses (like those offered by The Wood Whisperer and CNC Kickstart) against the invaluable, immediate feedback of hands-on, in-person classes. The hosts discuss how free online content is great for quickly absorbing many methods, while paid courses offer structured, step-by-step guidance necessary for mastering a new skill.
Hear what the guys are making, including Duffey's new run of CNC two-player games and a reverse production strategy for the holidays, and Alex Adams’s custom walnut wand for his son and his ongoing cross-country coaching duties. They also talk about their latest "breaking" moments, from smashed fingers to a spray-paint incident in the car.
In "Whatcha Watchin'," they spotlight fellow makers crushing it with CNC 3D carving, simple-yet-beautiful cedar centerpieces, and the inspiring work of a shipping container shop in Costa Rica.
Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on education models, shop efficiency, and great tips on making the most of your learning journey, no matter which path you choose!
