On this episode of Whatcha Makin', Alex Duffey and Alex Adams welcome special guest Jay from Goat Haunt Woodworks to demystify the world of CNC! They provide a beginner's guide to Computer Numerical Control, breaking down the six main parts of a CNC machine and the key differences between end mills, V bits, and bull bits. Get practical advice on choosing your first machine, understanding feeds and speeds, and why a spindle is a must-have upgrade.

The trio also catches up on their latest projects, from holiday production runs of Yahtzee boxes and wooden notebooks to flattening live-edge walnut slabs. Hear what broke this week (an expensive router sled mishap, dull bits, and a broken immune system!), and get an honest look at their sales strategies and recent successes. Plus, in "Whatcha Watchin'," they highlight a masterclass video on the ABCs of CNC, an amazing veterans' woodworking project, and other inspiring creations from the maker community.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone new to CNC or looking to take their woodworking to the next level!
