In this episode, I sit down with David Liu, founder of Brittle Fluid, to discuss his fascinating journey from mechanical engineering student to software entrepreneur. David shares his evolution from Harbor Freight mini-mill hobbyist to professional machine shop owner, and his experiences at Neuralink and Atomic Machines. We explore his current ventures creating software tools like Tool Trace and Rocket Brackets that reduce friction in manufacturing workflows, the importance of relationships in the industry, and his vision for the future of US manufacturing. David also offers insights on the value of "sending it" - trying new things without fear - and his philosophy on supporting the machinist community through technology.
