0:00:00 Con announcements
0:01:23 I’m just starting to get into making with my new 3D printer and work table, but my hands are getting more and more scrapes, bruises, and cuts every day as I experiment with new techniques. Do you have any tips or tricks you can share about ways to avoid getting these mildly annoying hand injuries while making? Or is this going to keep happening and I’ll just get thicker skin? 😂
0:07:11 I can't wait to meet you at Steel CityCon and show you some of my projects and ideas. My question is; was there an idea that a fan bounced off you that got you so excited you also wanted to make/build it?
0:10:26 ​​Weird question but have you have you ever wanted to make a clock, the mechanism and everything?
0:11:11 So you showed us the new Laguna bandsaw. What about the sexy Laguna table saw I peeped in the BG a few weeks ago. With the table such an important tool to you, any concerns about changing horses?
0:13:08 Would you ever consider doing a MythBusters reboot if they asked you and Jamie or are you content with that chapter of your life being over?
0:17:28 Is creativity a skill that can continuously be developed? If so, any suggestions on building our creative brain muscles? Thank you for sharing your endless passion and wisdom with us all.
0:27:51 I just got my first 3d printer and I love it. Anymore 3d print builds coming soon?
0:28:57 Are there any props you ended finding extremely useful in your day-to-day life, intentional or not?
0:30:37 ​​You previously got asked about your interests in model railways. Are there any railways you want to visit or railway journeys in the world you’d like to do. Even if it’s for model inspiration?
0:34:20 Do you and Mrs. Donttrythisathome have a "song", or a go to date night movie?
0:38:50 ​​I understand that learning new skills, we make the most progress in that skill in the first 20 hours of practice before we "plateau" and improvement slows. How have you experienced that phenomenon?
0:42:47 I have a career/future question for you. About a year ago I moved to Germany to pursue my bachelor’s degree (Cybersecurity) and recently started working for a big company. Although I'm in an objectively good situation (university, office job, etc.), it does not feel right for me. I'm unsure about the path I'm following. Being a creative and artistic person at heart, I feel out of place in the corporate environment, and I'm scared of heading toward a corporate life while "wasting" my creative potential. I do find my degree interesting, but lack the drive and passion I feel when working on creative projects. Should I try and look for a career in another, more "hands-on" field? In other words, how to make a better world with my work? I'd appreciate your advice.
0:51:47 I will finally get to meet you in person at Awesome-Con! What is your go-to method for marking the center on a circular/cylindrical object?
0:53:32 ​​ Sometimes when working on a creative project, I find myself rushing or getting what I call a "case of the bullsh*ts". Does that happen to you?
0:55:42 What was the strangest thing you were ever contracted to make for a client. Not including movies or TV.
0:57:51 I’ve been rewatching Mythbusters and seeing all the old tools, firearms, cars and such that were destroyed. I was wondering if there was something destroyed in the pursuit of science that you regretted after destroying it?
