This is a maker's Podcast about woodworking, good times and general Jack-Assery. The story of these three dates back to WorkBenchCon 2023 where they met and quickly became bestest friends. Since then, their trials and tribulations have been on display on this very Podcast. Jess hails from Tampa Bay, FL and has been a carpenter for over 15 years. (@Jess_BuildIt) Colton calls Houston, TX home. He makes custom cornhole boards (@ColtCrit) Ross comes from Chicago, IL. He makes custom furniture (@RandCDesigns) #woodworking #makers #furniture #carpentry #jackassery #goodtimes #woodworkColton, Jess and Ross

    • Jess unleashed a brilliant wordplay trivia game where players had to find the missing word that connected two phrases (like "dining...sauce" = table for "dining table" and "table sauce"), keeping everyone on their toes with woodworking-themed brain teasers.
    • Ross delivered his top 5 whiskeys under $100 by region, from Japanese Hibiki Harmony to Kentucky's Peerless Double Oak Bourbon, perfect timing for Father's Day gift ideas with detailed explanations of what makes each special.
