The Maker’s Quest

New Projects In The Work Shop

Listen Later

Today, we take a break from discussing designs and making topics and talk a little about what we have going on in our shops: current projects, new projects on the horizon, and the daily grind of being a maker.

Show Notes
  • Brian has a large steel table base in the shop, working on new patination processes.  The sheer size makes him wish he had a shop helper to help schlep it around.
  • He had challenges controlling the chemicals to get the colors he was looking for
  • Brian has a new bed project in the wings. Greene and Greene inspired
  • Greg is trying to fill a void in the guitar market but can't find electronic parts made in the US and is forced to look overseas.
    • That product is a side heated side bender for acoustic guitars.
  • He really wanted to source everything in the US, but nobody made the parts he needed, so he had to find someone on the global market and import the electronics.
  • There are a lot of Challenges in prototyping a new product.
