Ep. 128 | My Hot Tub Tried to Kill Me

Author: Keith Johnson September 11, 2025 Duration: 1:09:42
The mics are live and the boys have been busy. Keith is ALMOST done his floating cabinets collab with Paul Jasper from Copper Pig, but has all kinds of things to share that he f**ked up. Jason bails on the Festool/Rubio event which chaps Keith's undercarriage. Jason is also working on his outdoor kitchen/bar thingy, but is short of hardener and his schedule is compromised. His landscaper also tried to kill him by over-chemicalizing his hot tub. And plenty more!

You'll find Shop Sounds Podcast in the sawdust-covered corner where woodworking meets casual conversation. Hosted by Keith Johnson (the voice behind @KJSawdust) and featuring Jason Hibbs from @BourbonMoth, this isn't a step-by-step instructional series. Instead, it captures the meandering, often hilarious discussions that happen naturally when two passionate makers are hanging out in the workshop. The "about nothing" description is a playful nod to the show's organic flow, where topics can drift from the nuances of a hand plane technique to life stories, project failures, and the simple philosophy found in creating things with your hands. Each episode feels like you've pulled up a stool in the shop, listening in on a genuine exchange between friends who happen to be deeply knowledgeable about the craft. It’s a podcast for anyone who appreciates the sound of a well-tuned table saw as much as the easy laughter that follows a good story. For Keith and Jason, the background hum of machinery is just the soundtrack to a wider conversation about the hobbies and small joys that shape a life. Tune in when you want the company of fellow enthusiasts without the pressure of a formal lesson.
