Jem's dealing with wrong-white paint drama and bushfire heat waves while Justin finally cut steel and loved it. They nerd out on slitting saws, spindle grippers, and robot pick-and-place logic. Justin's close to launching AirShop billing, got a tenant for his extra shop space, and is scheming ways to script Blender renders without learning Blender. Classic shop talk with a side of automation dreams.

Jem's recovering from bushfire evacuations and finding thinking work tough after the chaos. Justin's got a glorious new hole between his shop spaces and AirShop is streamlining daily operations nicely. Both are geeking out over Random Routing's insane 48-tool carousel upgrade. Jem's dumped ChatGPT for Gemini, and Justin's testing coated CNC tooling.

Justin's been deep in AirShop development over the holidays while Jem dealt with diesel generator drama amid fire danger. They chat five-axis workflow wins, a $30 kid's microscope that's surprisingly shop-worthy, permit nightmares for a simple door, and SendCutSend's wild live machining stream. Plus Chippy vs forklift round two.
