In this episode of Meet the Makers, the host interviews a unique and inspiring maker, Lomax, known for his 3D printing projects, potato launcher, and fame at Tractor Supply. Lomax shares his journey from a curious child dismantling clock radios and playing with Legos to becoming a passionate maker. He discusses various projects, including a remote control lawnmower and thrift store finds that fund his creativity. Lomax highlights the importance of repurposing and fixing items rather than disposing of them, showcasing a future where DIY skills become increasingly valuable. His story takes a touching turn with his son's love for a Tractor Supply sign, leading to community support and a gesture from the company that went viral. The interview delves into the possibilities of AI, the importance of hands-on skills in today's disposable society, and hopes for future projects including Lost PLA casting and metal art.
