Art of the Build Matt Inglot

Art of the Build is a new take on the maker podcast format where I interview makers about specific builds. It's the maker podcast for people that want to hear about making.
This teaser ep covers the show format and my own story, including the back injury that lead to this show.

Linn from Darbin Orvar is amazing at incorporating different materials into her woodworking projects, and at making great use of space.
Today Linn talks about how she converted a pretty typical uninsulated shed into a dream workshop space that looks better than my living room. She shares all the steps she had to go through to do the conversion, and why this is a great maker space for her.

Izzy Swan is a woodworker, maker, and most importantly, inventor who really gets how mechanical stuff works. And he builds some pretty wild creations like various drill powered contraptions, including the topic of today's episode: a giant remote controlled wooden centipede that really walks.
We dive deep into how the walking mechanism works, how you can also build remote controlled creations (it's not that hard), and how to start understanding how mechanical things work.

I first came across Emiel’s channel last year when I was working out how to build my own miniature pinball machine. Emiel built his own machine and since then he's built other little inventions like the Oreo cookie dispenser, a DIY belt grinder, and the topic of this episode, a playing card gun that shoots cards 200km/h.
We go into how Emiel created a mechanism that can shoot playing cards, the crazy way his original bearings failed, and the process he goes through when designing his mechanical inventions.

When Matt Cremona decides to build an heirloom piece of furniture, he doesn’t just wander over to the local lumber store and pickup some lumber. That would be too easy. Matt’s an urban logger so it’s more far likely that he found a recently cut down tree in the city, hauled it home on his log trailer, sawed it on his custom bandsaw mill, dried it in his backyard, and then got on with building the furniture.
His whole process is amazing and today Matt will tell us a bit more about that, and more specifically, about the fully custom logging trailer that he’s been building over the last few months. Yes a whole trailer.
Matt is also co-host of the Wood Talk podcast, so check that out as well!

One of the recurring themes in Laura Kampf’s work is repurposing common items into something completely different. Like turning a zippo lighter into storage for bits, creating a bike sidecar out of a beer keg, or the many different objects that she has turned into BBQs.
In this episode we talk about the clever design of her level jack grill and how building grills connects into her start as a maker (hint: it includes a bicycle turned shopping cart bbq - no that's not a typo).
