ShopNotes Podcast 174 — Special Guest: Ben Strano

By: Phil Huber
Ben, Chris, and Phil talk CNC routers, 3D printers and how digital tools spark joy in woodworkers of all types.

As the ShopNotes newest CNC machine draws its first breath, Phil talks with creative director Chris Fitch and Fine Woodworking's Ben Strano about how digital tools enable woodworkers to tackle projects and try new things.

Listen as Chris recounts his interest in CNC routers, while Ben has similar feelings for his 3D printer. Check out Chris' CNC YuTube show CNC Basecamp.

Here are a few of Ben's 3D-printed tools he uses in making his ukuleles.
