I stared listening/watching on YT to maybe boost somehow your views and engagement. My goal for 2025 is to remember to comment on every video 😁
Awe thanks! That's music to my ears - Justin
Have you guys used the AI agent in Notion? I recall its partially based on Claude.
I haven't, maybe @like.butter has?
300 ping
I'd say. It's quite the delay on that video
Sorry, no idea why Justin's video is about 4 frames per second.
Guys I love your content, but please consider not using AI generated thumbnails for YT. I mainly listen to your podcast via Spotify, and just now remembered that you’re trying to grow the podcast on YT, so I jumped in to check for maybe good engagement in the comments. And 😮 nothing. Also, have you noticed a drop in views after you started the AI thumbnails? Just a thought 😊
Hmm, yeah it hasn't effected views at all. The thumnbail of the video turns you off it's its generated?
Thanks for answering my question, I guess there should of been added context but you both provided solid answers so it was no wokkaz, but I'm a drafty working for an engineer in building services so we use Revit which is great for MEP modeling. I'd like to get into some sort of design that involves CAD/CAM, only reason I found the podcast and Like Butter is because I was looking for CNC services around Cmaine but caught you on the tail end of finishing up personal orders, I got this fugly dog crate in my lounge I wanna replace with something more functional than just containing animals. Cheers for the answers lads, looks like Fusion it is!
Always enjoy the listen, and especially the duel between Rhino and Fusion! both have their strengths and if I was starting my cad journey 30 odd years earlier, I may get better at fusion......anyways sounds like Jem needs to look at Rhino cam, also Grasshopper has a nesting component standard or Try Biber for woodworkers it has nesting, all free and ready to go, Again I'm new at Grasshopper...but I have a guy that does some programming for me.......we are based in Auckland NZ, he is in Turkey. I have been meaning to show my clipbox that is parametric in Rhino, soon I hope to be able to nest it and cammed already.......just like Fusion. Keep up the chats!
Nice
JEM. We are going with no ad spend too. It just feels right.
Justin. Living the dream. 🎉
It does feel that way - sometimes 😌
audio quality leaves a lot to be desired
Yeah? Anything particular?
What is the name the cabinet software you were talking about?
Microvellum or Mozaik?
Yo!!! Thanks for the shout-out! Subscribed!
Thanks 🙏!
Your conversation is great! I love the custom made CNC machine! I have a cabinet shop and a ShopSabre router. Jem, you talked about someone with a Kuka robot with a bandsaw attachment. Does this individual post on Instagram or TH-cam? I would love to see that machine. Makes me think of Kuka robots that are on Lignum channel. He does some pretty unique machining with those.
Thanks, Micah! I think you mean Twig and Bot instagram.com/twigandbot/
