As makers we don't often look for the easiest ways to get our products made. The temptation to custom fabricate everything can often drain time and financial resources that we may not have. Often times the solutions we need may already be right in front of us as off the shelf products we can repurpose for our needs. Our guest Sean Charlesworth of Charlesworth Dynamics joins us this morning to discuss just how he avoids reinventing the wheel in his product design and finds clever parts that already exist to bring his replica Ghostbusters props and other incredible designs to life.
