This week we dive into the intersection of technology and woodworking with Jeremy Blum. Jeremy is the head of electrical engineering at Shaper Tools. If you haven't heard of the Shaper | Origin imagine a handheld router that has autocorrect for when you mess up. It's a pretty insane approach that sets somewhere in between a traditional router and a full fledged CNC.

We also get into Jeremy's background which includes a crowd sourced LED graduation cap, his own Tony Stark style JARVIS home automation and his work on Google Glass.

This week we find out what how a random visit to a leather store turned into a full blown career and the creation of Odin Leather Goods with Odin Clack.

If you have ever been interested in making a go at creating and selling your own handmade products full time then you'll resonate with Odin's story. At the time of this recording (late Nov 2017) he had just gone full time in his business. Find out how Odin turned a hobby into a business and then into a brand on the show!

This week we chat with David Picciuto. Find out how David has gone from just needing to make a picture frame in 2011 to building his own platform on YouTube as well as publishing two woodworking books!

Plus why he has never eaten a taco......

This week we chat with Linn from Darbin Orvar. Her work features a ton of different mediums and techniques including woodworking, leather, sewing, 3D printing and more. She also has one heck of a work ethic. At the time of this recording she was just a few weeks away to giving birth to her son August...and she was still going strong. She’s since given birth and introduced August to the world on her YouTube channel over the Christmas break.

On this episode of the Make or Break Showcase is Doug Neiner (@dnhandcrafted) and his awesome inbox tray. What really stuck out about Doug’s inbox tray was not only the design of the tray but also his 3D modeling.  In fact when I first saw the model on Instagram I thought it was the actual built finished product.

If you have ever been interested in seeing the power of programs like Fusion 360 and Blender for you project mockups, then you are going to love getting into Doug’s projects.
