Today, we take a break from discussing designs and making topics and talk a little about what we have going on in our shops: current projects, new projects on the horizon, and the daily grind of being a maker.
Show Notes- Brian has a large steel table base in the shop, working on new patination processes. The sheer size makes him wish he had a shop helper to help schlep it around.
- He had challenges controlling the chemicals to get the colors he was looking for
- Brian has a new bed project in the wings. Greene and Greene inspired
- Greg is trying to fill a void in the guitar market but can't find electronic parts made in the US and is forced to look overseas.
- That product is a side heated side bender for acoustic guitars.
- He really wanted to source everything in the US, but nobody made the parts he needed, so he had to find someone on the global market and import the electronics.
- There are a lot of Challenges in prototyping a new product.
