Shop Talk 03-17-2025 Vlog for Rob Sandstrom Designs - See What's Happening

Welcome back to the channel! This video is covering my plans for the upcoming week. We can check back in later to see if I accomplished the things I planned. This is an effort to share with the maker community that I have grown to value what is going on in my shop and compare to some efforts that they may be thinking about.

Whether you're into Golf, Epoxy, CNC, Woodworking, Laser engraving, 3D printing, or content creation, or just enjoy seeing creative projects come to life, this video may have something for you!

In this video, I cover:
✅ My plans to get in some golf this week
✅ My recent efforts to sand and polish an epoxy and wood bowl and how it turned out wicked...it was such a pleasing experience
✅ How well my picture frame is working to make picture frames
✅ Shelves that I plan on making for my friend
✅ Making a 3D Illusion laser engraving of a Gorilla and her baby for the SDFWA
✅ A Koala 3D Print for my granddaughter
