Bernbuilt

An overview of my current make/design/build philosophy as I understand it; thoughts on going beyond normal, what I've been up to for the last year and a half, and a maker-produced feature with the one-and-only @MadeBy_Marylou !

Carla and I make an attempt at coast-to-coast podcasting. We cover her beginnings as a maker, tiny living and future shop plans before our audio cut out! Follow her building and gardening adventures on Instagram at @UntidyMaker

Patrick and Jeremy discuss wooden-beam staircase design, dehumidifying lumber in a repurposed boxcar, and how to retain the convenience factor of single-use plastic bags in a post-plastic-bag era. But they don't get political. • Lumber kiln: Adirondack Millwork LLC in Dolgeville NY • Construction home protection: Zack Dettmore • Bumper music from Ampletunes

Jeremy and I start this episode with intent to examine our wins and losses from the decade, and our goals for the future, but it gets out of control. Instead we diss formal education, our dating history and the holidays, all while we putter around in the wood shop and deliver some furniture deep into the Adirondacks in an F550 box truck (enjoy the low rumble of I-87)!

A brief 2019 retrospective, touching on the year's maker progress and challenges, as well as a short rant about some of the makers and their podcasts that keep me going through all of this.

Jeremy joins me to discuss kitchen islands and appliances, along with our most- and least-favorite power tools.

I detail my most recent project video, a double-loft-bed setup for my niece and nephew, along with some of the challenges faced along the way. Bumper music by ampletunes.com, find my youtube here. Thanks for listening, your support is everything for small-time hustlers like me!

In this episode, I rant about how makers are more important to me than what tools they're using. TL;DR: makers using tools I don't own doesn't discourage me from watching their videos just because I can't personally relate to that tool or method. I don't usually watch makers' videos for the exact project that is featured; I usually watch because I enjoy the person doing the project, their perspect...

My cousin Jeremy and I open fortune cookies, analyze the contents, and ponder the meaning of life. Had to dub-in some details after the fact. Bumper music from https://ampletunes.com/ Thanks for listening! 

My cousin Jeremy joins me for this fourth episode, interviewing me extensively about my recent weekend at the Catskill Mountain Makers Camp. We cover my experience there (particularly at the forge), along with a brief dive into our childhood and how Jeremy's in-progress "garage with a house attached" is coming along. In this episode, you'll hear quotes from Jimmy DiResta and Alec Steele: • http://...

If production-quality dictates your listenership, please skip to S1E2 or a more-recent episode for more-refined sound! In this premiere episode, I briefly describe how I stumbled on the “maker” identity, where I intend to take it, and what I’ve been up to so far.
