0:03:42 The majority of my work is either modifications or repairs, but occasionally I get inspired to create artistic sculptures out of mixed media and found objects. When I present my finished work for review or opinion I'm all too often asked "How did you do that?" The improved functionality or even the who/what/where/why is never my focus; it's almost always the HOW. I don't know what to tell them. What do I tell them?
0:09:54 What advice do you have for us makers who don’t have the ideal income to make as often or to the quality we wish?
0:16:00 Adam talks about cheese
0:16:51 How do you stay positive and focused when the world gets chaotic? How do you tune out the noise?
0:20:18 I am about to embark on a fun extra part-time job as an assistant teacher for a cosplay course, helping kids between 15 and 18 years old making their own costumes. What advice do you have for kids who are new to cosplay and may be reluctant to or insecure about showing off their costumes to friends and/or family?
0:26:31 What does retirement look like for you? Can you ever see yourself stopping what you do in a professional sense?
0:29:26 Greeblies. How do you know what is worth saving? It's difficult to tell what can and cannot use because greeblies are just random bits and pieces. Do you have a greeblie system or rules?
0:32:30 What has your experience been with “Ludicrous Speed” on the Bambu Printers?
0:36:00 I'm a huge printing/type/book/calligraphy nerd, and I've loved your videos that explore various books and printing processes. I know that you have made prop book replicas before—like the Grail Diary—but would you ever consider building your own printing press and producing books "Ye Olde" way?
0:41:14 I'm a poet and have learned the most about my craft from talking to musicians & artists about their process. Do you ever get insights to your work from non-maker sources?
0:41:45 Your thoughts on — and processing of the practices and mediums of — making are so compelling and inspiring! I am curious to hear your thoughts on how art forms like writing — which are less tactile to engage with compared to visual art/sculpting or prop making/cosplay — fit under the umbrella of making? With writing, whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, plays or poetry, what makes it making? Or even recording music or filming a movie? Studying playwriting, I always heard that the reason they’re called playwrights is because they are “building” the play like a shipwright builds and maintains a ship, but I’m eager to hear your opinion.
0:49:25 I am a car guy. my question is what car was to good to destroy on Mythbusters or you felt sad about destroying?
0:51:22 I notice when you build models for film or tv, you use a "camera passable" level of detail. They always look amazing, but do you enjoy fine scale modeling as well? Have you ever had an overwhelming urge to take a larger studio sized model and detail it to a super fine level, maybe as a long term project?
0:53:55 Having just watched your video of forming the back piece of the Infinity Gauntlet I was reminded of your video of working with Terry English making a suit of armor. I was wondering how much of the lessons you learned making the armor were right there, and how much was "Oh, yeah, I remember that now"?
0:56:26 On ideas and creation David Lynch talked about "catching the big fish". Have you ever have a moment of realizing you had snagged a big one? What was it?
