  Impressive debut puzzle! Only complaint is I really needed another cup of coffee before solving something this challenging but that's fully on me.

    Thank you! I do think it ended up a little more difficult than I really wanted, but I had fun coming up with the theme answers.

    I didn't want to do too many layers of misdirection with the theme answers' clues, so most of them are pretty straightforward, but I liked 2LSHED

    20DWhere you can see a saw[------]

    too! I really wanted to do "Source of magnesium and calcium?" for GROUP2

    4DWhere you can find magnesium and calcium[------]

    as a nutrition misdirect, but realized that wouldn't be "allowed" with SRC

    26AOrigin: abbr.[---]
