Calling all Makers

[-e-]

I love being an element of the 'Makers'-generation, although being a couple decades younger would help.

All woodturners are a part of the 'makers' but there is so much more we could do.

Hope you'll enjoy watching Dale Dougherty's TED talk -- so jazzy and packed with inspirations.

and if you're around the Maker's Faire, come get inspired.

I'm a maker. I make people mad. I make them angry, sometimes I make them sad but mostly I try to make them have fun.
No seriously that was an interesting speech. Sounds a bit too much like a paid motivational speaker but the concept is sound and I agree with him. I have been making things all my life. Many times I'm making mistakes but I guess those lead to discoveries that help you make something better.
I'm going to go out to the shop to make another video right now since I'm waiting for finish to dry on the last turning I just made.

Went to NY Maker Faire last year, and I'll never miss one again... awesome.
