From Woodshop to Workshop: How One Inventor is Transforming Woodworking with a Revolutionary Adjustable Angle Clamp

Description: What does it take to turn a woodworking headache into an invention that could make waves in the industry? Meet Thomas, a woodworker and furniture maker with a keen eye for mid-century modern design. When his 45-degree miter joints kept slipping and sliding, he took to Fusion 360 and created a solution: a revolutionary adjustable angle clamp that’s already gaining traction among professional woodworkers.

In this episode, we dive into the story behind Thomas’s invention journey—from initial frustrations in the woodshop to 23 iterations of his product design and the unexpected features that made it even better. Thomas shares how he turned his sketches into a working prototype, his encounters with “inventor help” services, and why he decided to handle the patent process on his own. We also talk about what it’s like bringing a new tool to market, navigating the pitfalls of working with manufacturers, and how to price a high-quality, American-made product for the woodworking community.

💡 If you’re an aspiring inventor or product creator, this episode is a goldmine of actionable advice and hard-learned lessons.
