Matt has a new side gig—and apparently he's a laser welder now. The guys talk through his first days in the shop, learning stainless fabrication, welding and polishing, and how woodworking skills translate surprisingly well to metalwork.
They also catch up on the finished patio, coffee roaster maintenance, upcoming woodworking projects, 2.6 terabytes of barn-build footage, and somehow end up discussing Squirrel's Nut Butter.
Just another hour of Oak and Steel.

Matt recaps his trip out West, including the Tetons, Jackson Hole, and some airline troubles before diving into the latest on his backyard patio and newfound obsession with keeping his sod alive.
Michael shares updates from a recent coffee equipment install and a growing list of machines, projects, and potential hires. The guys also catch up on sawmilling, woodworking, lawn care, travel plans, and the usual assortment of side conversations.
Another classic Oak and Steel catch-up—plenty going on and never quite enough time to get it all done.

This week we're catching up after a busy stretch of travel, work, and family life. Matt shares stories from another Canadian fishing trip, including over 1,500 fish caught, another boat repair headache, and plans for a backyard patio. Mike talks about a whirlwind installation trip to North Carolina, another family visit to Disneyland, and his fascination with robot lawnmowers.
Along the way, the conversation turns to AI, social media burnout, and how both of us are realizing that not every hobby has to become a side business. Sometimes it's okay to let projects sit, focus on home, and embrace the season of life you're in.
It's one of those episodes that feels less like an interview and more like two friends catching up over coffee—and we think you'll relate.
