Jem and Justin get back to Book Club with Simon Winchester's "The Perfectionists," discovering how sewing machines became precision's foundation. Between busy shipping weeks and spring production, they test shop automation with Roombas and CNC cobot sanders. Specially recommended countersink gauges, and organizing local deliveries. They find new entertainment in Suno v4, tackle email marketing via Flodesk, and share of Bryan's Shop Stool Podcast.
