Welcome to episode 12! After a week of constant failures, something good came out of it for Vincent, so Ethan and Vincent decided to talk about the good that can come out of experimentation and failure.  Be not afraid of failure, my friends.

Welcome to episode 11! We use the term "artisan" rather casually but my guest this week, Ethan Carter, is truly an artisan.  He's an amazingly talented leather worker and also has some great skills with woodworking.  Sort of a making renaissance man.  We talked about his history, how he eschewed YouTube for Instagram and how Instagram is possibly more important for makers than YouTu...

Welcome to episode 10!  A milestone episode!  Thank you so much for sticking around on this journey with me! If I could pinpoint the guy who started it all, it would be Bob Clagett.  Saying he's an inspiration to me is the biggest understatement I'll ever make in this podcast and having him on the podcast and being able to talk to him for as long as I did is going to go down as a hi...

Welcome to episode 9!  This week I had the honor of speaking to one of the first YouTube makers I ever followed, the amazing and talented Keith Decent.  In this episode we talk about making, creativity, art, and what makes the community known as the maker movement special!  Note: The audio from the recording was completely jacked, so things might sound a little off and I apologize f...

Welcome to episode 7!  It was a distinct honor this week to speak to Steve Ramsey to whom I owe a great deal.  One of the reasons I call myself a woodworker today is my being a part of his Weekend Woodworker course and getting a solid foundation in woodworking from a great teacher.  In this episode we talk about woodworking, the current climate of tool collection and tribalism, and...

Welcome to episode 6!  I couldn't help but be a little star-struck speaking to Evan and Katelyn.  They've been very influential to me and a constant source of inspiration and ideas for my making pursuits.  We talk a lot about YouTube, their multiple changes in direction, how they keep their channel fresh and even get into an interesting discussion about TV and what TV people don't u...

Welcome to episode 5!  This week I had the pleasure of talking to the husband and wife YouTube DIY duo Kim & Garrett.  I enjoyed this chat so much and they are just wonderful people who really are just out there bringing DIY to the masses.  We talked about everything from YouTube, to family, to how hard it is to build an Xcarve to our adventures in the kitchen and we even came t...

Welcome to episode 4!  This week Bernie Solo and I discuss making, the maker space, how he got into the community and what "content" actually means.  It's a wide-ranging conversation with lots of insights so if you're a maker or plan to be one, stop here first!

Welcome to episode 3!  This week I have the privilege of talking to a guy who runs a tech channel on YouTube that breaks the mold of what you expect from tech channels.  Gary, aka The Everyday Dad, is an unconventional digital gear enthusiast who makes tech approachable and doesn't spend all his time telling you about specs and why you need to go nuts buying stuff, which is rare in this...

Hi everyone and welcome to Because We Make, a podcast about making, creativity, and the things that drive us to do what we do.  This is episode 0, which will be a brief introduction to the things we're going to talk about.  I look forward to sharing my journey into making along with the journeys of others who have found a love for creating things with their hands. If you'd like to contac...
