Your hosts, Adam Mackey, Grant Alexander and Jessy Ratfink delve into all the aspects of the maker life. Whether it's woodworking, leatherworking, digital fabrication or even just how to get the creative juices flowing, we chat about it on the show. So, join us every week while we talk about creating, living and making (and potentially too many puns about clamps).

Ask Us Anything question:
"How often do you allow yourself time to sit quietly and remember the broad plan? We get so bogged down with making the next decision or dealing with the barriers to making, that we might not revisit the overall schema it fits in. The ultimate goal. Becoming world renowned for expertise; turning it into a business; raising kids that aren't fuckwits, making it to retirement. It's worth remembering your framework within which every smaller thing fits. So how often do you get to? Do you make time for it?" - @warrenmatten

Customer Reviews
Always entertaining, honest takes on the maker commuity
I love the tone and content of this podcast. It feels like a DND campaign where three characters from diverse backgrounds came together and set out on a quest to see where they fit into the maker community. Jessy always seems so sweet with an eye to the delicate crafts, Adam with the never give up Aussie attitude, and Grant with the “I deal with HR nonsense all day long and don’t have time to beat around the bush” sensibility. It may sound odd, but together their personalities combine to put out a great product.
Is that a clamp in your pocket?
Clamping great time. Clamp yourself into a chair and enjoy this podcast. These guys provide you with the content you are looking for to keep your project in place.
Awesome Banter
These guys interact really well. I feel like we’re all hanging out at a maker meetup sharing stories and a brew. Their unique backgrounds and experiences make for great engaging conversation.
