 What's up everybody. Welcome to Hot Makes right here. Whoa, he's rocking it. You're rocking it. Sorry. I was still playing the intro. I didn't realize that we were done playing guitar. What is this guitar? It was a banjo hero. Or what is that? It's not a banjo, it's a uke. A uke. You should have printed one. I had a 3D printed one. It got lost somewhere in the tornado. Welcome to Hot Makes, everybody. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Hot Makes right here on Hot Makes Live. All the Hot Makes things. I am Nerdy J, also known as Jim from the Edge of Tech. This, my friend, is Caleb, producer extraordinaire. How you doing, man? I'm doing all right. We have been, yeah, RC Maniac says uke hero. Did they make a uke hero? Did they make a uke hero? That would have been awesome. Doing good. We're moved into a rental house. We kind of, the market around here kind of sucks. So we were like, you know what? It's been four and a half months. We just need to find a place that's private space. So instead of purchasing and continuing to look and continuing to wait and continuing to live with family, we just decided, you know what? We're going to go ahead and get a rental so we can get something sooner. So that's where we are. I'm currently in the staging area, which is going to be the office, which is currently just desks covered in crap that we need to put away. So. Hey, you're moving, though. You're moving. Hey, Andrew Rogers, thank you so much. I hope you are feeling better. Thank you, sir. And thank you, thank you, thank you for the non-ice cream sandwich kind. Or no, for the ice cream sandwich kind. Sorry, I read that wrong. Thank you. Also, the tornado move or the actual tornado? I haven't seen it since we packed it. But you lost your ukulele, yeah. Yeah, the 3D printed ukulele I had. I actually printed that when I was at CMCNC and Andy Oprisco gave me the hardware for it. So I've had that thing for probably about five years or so now. But yeah, I haven't seen it since we packed everything up. So. Well, congratulations on your own place to live now. I know it's been a few months now. So glad you're there. I hope you got your head on level head. Are you level headed? I'm doing my best to keep myself level headed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw that coming. You stole it from me. Yeah, if you're if you're in a swivel chair, at least you got your head on a swivel, too. Oh, geez. What's up, buddy? Though we haven't we weren't here last week. We weren't here last week and we're back. We have an amazing guest. I'm super excited to talk to Brian. We we chatted briefly at Murph. And this is the first chance I've been able to connect and be like, hey, we should get together and do this. We were going to do it last week. And then we realized, wait, I'm not going to be here last week. So we moved it to this week. So it's going to be a great discussion with Brian. He's doing some awesome things in the community. Dad jokes, yes. And yeah, other than that, we got some awesome. We have like 15. I don't know, hot makes or 20, something like that. I also have a challenge this week. We do. We have some really good ones. We also we also have a challenge to stick around because I have an idea that's going to it's going to spice things up a little. So we have some. I don't have any spice near me. So I don't have any spice near me. And man, anything new. So for me, what's new is I didn't put a video out the last two weeks on my normal channel or this weekend last week. And I just catching up on stuff, working on stuff. And this giant monstrosity of a rat rig 500. I am well, well, well, it's back there somewhere. Well, I am currently in wiring phase. And I'm not going to lie, a little intimidated. So I need to just, you know, buckle up and get on it. I know there's some people in the chat who've done plenty of these things. I should just hit you up and have you walk me through it because I'm just I'm like never done it. Right. It's my first time little intimidated because I got to extend a bunch or a few of the hot end wires. Actually, most of them because the 500 doesn't come with long enough wires. You know, so there's that. So what I'm getting wired. Yeah, Jano built a Prusa recently. I think it M.K. for nice. I remember like that. Nice work on that. Yeah. But yeah. So working on that. Big things are coming. I've kind of alluded a little bit to it. Are you allowed to show the thing? OK. I could. That would get away. No, no, don't don't. Don't I mean, it's not like I haven't said what I'm doing already at some point in the past. But I have a video coming about it. So there's that. Keep it a secretive. I swear, someone will come along shortly to tell me how easy and simple it is. Probably, you know what? Hopefully is easy and simple to someone who's done it before. Yeah, you just put the Dumaflatchi and the doobly do. And yeah, exactly. You got a wiggle wiggle. Yeah. Still building. Oh, it's the XL. That's right on the XL. Nice. Nice. So, yeah, we're going to keep rocking. We have an awesome guest tonight. If you do, we go through everything. I can't remember. I think we did. Yeah, we're here on the other thing. So, yeah. Yeah. So I'm a little out of it. Tonight was my first night driving back to this house, and I went the wrong way, of course. I didn't. You probably five minutes before we started. You're probably like, you know, you're so used to going to the other place and. I know. Yeah. I started driving towards the family's place. Greetings, peeps. Tripod. All right. Hang on. I need to see where we have. I'm excited for our guest. Should I put my tripod's hat on? Yeah. Tripod's garage. Hang on. If you hand it over to me through the screen, I'll wear one. I need a tripod hat. Um. You already have a hat on. I don't have a second hat to put on. It didn't work. Oh, hang on. Yeah, hang on. Yeah. I don't know what we're doing. All right. We got this, but what is? Ready? Okay. Hang on. You're right. All right. You ready to hand it to me? Yeah. That was, you know, that was for you. That was awesome. Representing tripod going RGB on his setup. I saw that tripod. All right, let's do this. I need that. Yeah. I have tripod coffee cup. I don't know why that may be so happy. What do I have in here? I have a bag full of tripod stuff that I bought at Murph. Oh, I have a, I have a Yoda. There you go. That's, that's, you know, that's not tripod brand. Did you find a leg in that bag? It's sarcastic. Movie magic. Movie magic. Ooh, Jerry. Pshh. Yeah. Nice. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Still in the box. I will, I tell you what I'll do. I value this so much. I'm going to give it away. Uh, no, I'm just joking. To me. No, I'm going to... Sweet. All right, I'm done babbling. We're done messing around. We have an awesome guest. I think we should bring him in. Are you ready to, uh... Yeah. Grill him with some questions? Yeah, I'm ready. I don't think that phrasing was quite right. I mean, to be fair, you read the, you read the, like, masterpiece. And so, I'll follow your lead with the questions because you probably know better where to go with them. I'm just joking. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Minnesota, I believe, right? Brian, also known as Darth Gullum, how you doing, man? Is it Minnesota? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay. Hear me out. Jim is in Wisconsin. And this entire time I'd been prepping the show and everything, and I was looking at your socials and your, and your write-up and everything, I saw, I think I have, like, slight dyslexia and it flipped the M upside down. So, I thought you were in Wisconsin this whole time, not, I thought it was W-I, not M-I-M, yeah, I don't, yeah. Anyway, so that's why when we were in the green room, I thought you guys knew each other and I was a little confused when you were like, nice to meet you. Yeah, we met at Murph, right? And Brian was there, had a table at Murph. We talked a little bit and then I was like, contact me and if I don't answer, contact me six more times and then I will answer and then we're here. So that's... And it only took what, four times? I probably, probably, I am so bad. I'm like, okay, Mark unread, so I remember to go back and then I don't remember to go back. But hello, plastic people. So, Brian, real quick, before we go too far because you do a ton of cool stuff, who are you, what do you do? We know you're in Minnesota now, but who are you, what do you do and where can we find your stuff? And then we're gonna jump into it. Yeah, so yeah, I'm Brian Farmer. I am one of the teachers that teach out of the FAB Lab at Modemina High School. It's a school in the Northeast suburbs of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. We boast the first FAB Lab ever put into a public high school and I get the great... I mean, it's an amazing opportunity to work with students as they get to explore the use of a makerspace and all the wonderful things that go with it. Where you can find, for the school, we have X, whatever Twitter's now at Modemina FAB Lab or Modemina Engineering. And then I'm also tagged under Darth Gallum on various platforms of Killing, Twitch and X. That's awesome. So you said it was the first FAB Lab ever put into a high, like a school or a high school? A public high school. Public high school. That's awesome. Like in the nation? That is crazy. Yep. Wow. Wow, because I've heard of like makers labs or makerspaces, right, where they have some printers and stuff for kids to use. But you're actually... What defines you? What's a FAB Lab? Let's start there. So FAB Lab concept came up at MIT. There's a group there that defined what makes a FAB Lab. So it has a certain type of maker, a certain type of equipment. It caters to their community and provides access to help people get exposure to all that. For us, through a strong community effort, we were able to raise funds. And during our remodel, we're now on our 12th year, able to put that into place. And I mentioned the community. It was the community that helped us get this put in. It's something that most schools strive for, but it takes that outside effort. We built it up. We had... My couple predecessors actually went through MIT's training to have that MIT... How to teach almost anything curriculum set up that got us started with it. I then went through one of our local universities and then we worked with the local community college to help build it even farther. And we've evolved throughout the year. Our community is our high school population. We work really well with those students, give them opportunities. So then we're able to offer students three levels of engineering courses, which gets them exposed to all sorts of maker equipment. We have two levels of digital electronics that my colleague teaches where they start learning arduinos and up through mechatronics. We even offer a senior capstone where kids will have a whole semester in which they propose a project. Either they find an industry mentor or I help them find somebody. Oftentimes I go through my work on Twitch or through other different things. I believe I even call one through hot makes one time where I connect them with people who know how to... Or who have experienced working with this stuff time together. And then they get a whole semester to build some truly amazing things. We had a full motion driving simulator last year, motion control and everything. So the whole thing moved. Don't worry, Jim. They made me try it out. Oh, darn. I mean, like darn, yeah. I bet they really yanked your leg to get you in it, right? Absolutely. I think you posted that on Twitter. If I remember, I think I saw this and... I'm going back to see if I can find it while we're talking. But so... I wish I had a fab level like that when I was in high school. I probably would have been down a totally different career path. Oh, absolutely. Because we can't get all the kids in our classes. We also offer a whole range of extracurricular opportunities for them. And that's what really things are... Gets the kids the opportunities because that's where they develop a lot of these other skills on top of just learning the machines because they build teamwork. They build leadership skills. Yeah, you saw my list. I can go down all our steam opportunities at some point or pick and choose. Which is a lot of effort. But do you feel like... I mean, assuming you feel like it's rewarding seeing those kids kind of expand their knowledge base given the tools that they need to kind of like grow? Absolutely. So I get a lot of kids coming back to me. They'll reconnect with me through either just come back to school through email or through LinkedIn or something. And they tell me that their experiences in the fab lab either through a club or through a class help them kind of identify what they wanted to study and help them gain legs up on fellow students in college getting into different internships or research opportunities to really help them kind of identify what type of field they wanted to get into. I use my son as an example. He knew he wanted to be an engineer early on ever since we've had various events at the school. He liked that, but he didn't know what type. It wasn't until he started taking the classes that he really fell a pull towards the electrical engineering and now he's a senior studying electrical engineering. That's awesome. I mean, I just hit the nail on the head too. Big Jano was talking about how his high school removed the CAD classes because AutoCAD wouldn't work on the computers they bought district wide. Like, that's one of the things that I'm kind of that I was kind of leaning towards is like the amount of effort like the outside funding probably being limited by what technology the state or the school is able to give you the fact that I mean, teachers have to pay for a lot of their own stuff anyway. Like there's so much that you aren't you aren't given to be as successful as you could be to make the kids as successful as they could be. So I would imagine this has been a lot of effort. It has been and we're lucky in a couple regards. Our district has made a commitment over the years to making sure we have this. So they funded at the level they can. We also have an amazing education foundation that has created a on top of their usual grants they pass out have an additional fund that they have developed over the years for fab lab and engineering projects. They just bought us a brand new resin printer that'll be able to put into the lab this fall. Awesome. Nice. Like something large or what? The Prusa was a SLS SLS. Yeah, wash and dry and station. Nice. That's awesome. I just like I just think back when I was in high school, I did the auto classes because I mean we had we had a shop class which I don't remember if we had woodworking, but then we had like auto body and auto mechanics like two different classes. I did those and then I did a shop class, but I didn't really ever dive into stuff like this, right? Because my knowledge, we didn't have it. Maybe I wasn't interested at the time to know we didn't have it. I don't know, but I'm sure we I mean we never had 3D printers and that kind of thing and you know, I graduated in 2000. So there's a little bit a little bit out of the realm in that. But I mean like just to give the opportunity for people to come in and experience all these new things because honestly, trades is kind of where it is right now. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to jump into engineering and stuff, that's amazing. But so I'm glad you bring that up, Jim. Yeah. Because when you talk about the trades, so we built our program originally focusing on kids trying to get to a four year school in engineering. Sure. We've saturated how many kids we can serve with that. So we are currently in a huge effort now to shift and add manufacturing and those opportunities because we want to give kids a chance to get to trades. At my high school, we don't have that traditional woods or metals class. So we're trying to provide other chances to do that. Got it. No, that's awesome. It's so cool because I mean really trades are, trades are dying for people right now. You can make super good money without going to like crazy for your schools in many cases. They are paying you to come work there. They're paying to train you and they're paying you to get the training or for your training to get you into that, you know, into the respective trade that you want to go into. And it's just cool that you guys are there to kind of like help check out all this stuff and let's see where you want to go kind of thing. You know, it's kind of fun. I got to go learn how to weld this summer so I can start adding that type of things. Those things again. That's so cool. Oh, I'm reading the stuff. So what you do 3D printing, right? What kind of printers do you guys use currently? Well, we currently have 8 of the Prusa Minis as our main 3D printers. We also have 4 of the Prusa or 3S. I'm hopeful to, I think we have some funding. Otherwise, I'm going to be writing a grant. I want to get some upgrade kits for those. And then the new resin and then I have a blank space because why we have our main printers, which the Prusa's hold now and have been a great addition. Because the biggest thing we've always had is throughput having up to 30 kids in a class trying to work through printers. It's always tough to get everything, everyone on. So Prusa's given us the biggest range with those Minis. So that's been awesome. But I want them to see more than just one type. So we've had a Delta in the past. We've had some kits in the past. I have a blank spot that I'm looking to fill with another type of printer. We've had multi-material units before. I'm thinking maybe along that line again. I don't know. I'm hinting maybe bamboo or something wants to contact me about some opportunities. But yeah, I want to get kids another opportunity to see something else. Yeah. I mean, and the cool thing about printers these days, especially this year, well, in the last year, we'll say in the last year, everything's going faster. Everything's been faster. And then the multi-material thing is becoming much, much bigger than I feel it was before. And I think that would be sweet to get you an X1 carbon or a P1S with the AMS or something. And you never know what else they're going to put it out, right? I mean, there could be something else coming that you guys would be like, well, that's awesome. But it's the multicolor thing is where it's so much fun. It's so much fun. I've noticed a couple of comments coming up, if you don't mind. Who is it, John? Yeah. Staring asked a couple of things. One about resin safety. The plan is to limit very much who gets to use those and they get to be well trained. And nice thing about schools, we have very good ventilation systems. Yeah. Nice. And then you mentioned clay printing. My pottery teachers asked about a clay 3D printer multiple times. Yeah, that's awesome. Interesting. Wow. I never even thought about that. That'd be pretty cool. If anyone has a printer that needs a home, I just want to point out, you also said it gives the kids a leg up on the competition. So tripod, you know. I actually have a set of legs around here somewhere. I love it. But I mean like what other stuff do you, so we know you do 3D printing and I'm assuming like the kids get to design and print something that they designed, is that how you guys work or how does that work? So throughout our three levels of engineering, our first one is a lot of here's the machines, here's how to use them. We start them off on Tinkercad for designing. We offer Fusion 360. We used to offer SOLIDWORKS but shifted over for financial reasons. We also have some 3D scanners. We have the IonScan Pro. We have us Connect and I've been working with, I might be filling with Ethan's dad 3D and his iPad. I got some, I wrote another grant to get some iPad Pros with the LiDAR on it. Working with Dad Incorporate as well. So they'll get design aspects through those 3D scanning through that. Then they always do modification stuff and bring it over the printers. One of the things we strive is it's not good enough that you just can run the machine, but why are you running the machine? So we frame a lot of stuff is what problem are you solving? What do you make in to solve whatever problem is facing you? One kid it was, his fry is always spilled in his car. So he made an insert for his cup holder just to hold his box of fry fries. Which is great. Yeah, that's his problem. He solved that. Solving problems, yeah. So good. Oh man. And then other machines. We have vinyl cutters. We have a couple of, I call them small with their large rolling ratio, like vinyl cutters for kids to learn on. Wrote a grant to get a 52 inch printing cut system that we've incorporated in one of the new clubs when they're actually producing their own stickers and banners. I saw in some of your pictures there was what I thought was a large format, just paper printer. But is that what you're talking about? Yep. That's a vinyl printer. That's awesome. That's massive. Really? Yep. And like I said, that was a huge, that was a combination again of our education fund and a couple of other grants that brought that in. And that became the foundation of what we refer to as our MonoMaker Club. And they're actually becoming a production house within our fab lab to create right now stickers and banners. But their goal is to use a lot more of the equipment. That's awesome. That is cool. Yeah. So you might, we have two big Elix lasers. We have mini mills. We have a four foot by eight foot CNC router. We have some. That's so cool. Yep. And then we're adding back some of those traditional shop tools and stuff. We just got a metal working mill as well as table saw, band saws, job saws. And we just bought sets of hand tools because the other thing we've learned lately is kids don't know what a hammer is. Oh, wow. Learning how to use 30 printers, but we don't know what a hammer is. Yeah. Well, it's a skill that's gone away without having it built up throughout the years. It's come out of middle school curriculum and stuff. But yeah, we've asked, we asked the kid to help pound the nail that came loose in hammer and a wrench. We're sitting on the counter. He picked up the wrench. Oh, wow. Hey, I guess I guess you don't know what you don't know. But it's so weird because my three year old will be like, oh, I want to play with the hammer and he'll go grab a hammer. I'm like, wait, wait, wait. What can you use that right now? You know what I mean? Find out that Jim also doesn't know what a hammer is. Yeah. And he grabs up the hammer. He grabs up the crescent wrench. Or it said dad actually uses the hammer. So then their experience. We do have kids that are well experienced with tools. He has a full set like of his own with it has a little hammer and a screwdriver and it's like all in this little, little types kind of workbench thing. So he can put like fake nailing and hit it with a hammer and it actually goes down in it. Oh, that's cool. He can use a screwdriver to like turn and there's flathead and Phillips. You can do the two different screws and it has like a screw gun. So like a little drill and you put the little bit in there and he can do that. So he knows what that stuff is. It just, I never even considered that there's probably people out there who don't, you know, Chaucer says they need MC hammer to come in as a guest teacher. Do you know who hammer is? It's hammer time. So, so I found this on. I want to talk about this for a second. The captions like putting on some sunglasses. I think you said on your, on your Facebook page, right? Okay. And let's see. I'm just going to, I thought I was going to maximize it. Maybe it is. Anyways, I don't know what is happening right now is frozen. There we go. There you go. Is this like a, one of those overly complicated machines? Yep. What do we, so what are we seeing? So for our dominoes, okay. Yeah. Our engineering threes are a third level engineering course. Their culminating project is to work in teams to create a Rube Goldberg device to, for whatever thing they decide putting on sunglasses. What was one of the things we had on cards and I was drawing randomly, but then they have to take it from one end, pass it from group to group using various draftions. And then I make them perform this at our annual community event. So, and that's what you see here. It puts them kind of on stage to show off what they have done and they do a really good job, explain what it's supposed to do. And then it never works. Well, the big thing is failure is always important in what we do. Oh, there's a hammer. Right. I'm really like that introduces that troubleshooting aspect to it because I love it conceptually. Clearly they know exactly what they're trying to get it to do. It's just either friction or weight or like materials that are just need to be refined like some of my favorite videos are people who are trying to do something specific and they just keep changing one little thing at a time until they get closer and closer to their goal and then eventually it works. So down here, the important part here to me is that they understand what if they can explain it really well, doesn't matter if it works or not, they can get it to work. What I thought was cool about that last video that we saw was they use a multitude of different items to create what they're doing. It was cardboard and dominoes and blocks and string and like they put a bunch of stuff together and it made them think like what can we use it's laying around right? I like that. That's pretty cool. Fantastic. This is out there and I think you were talking about maybe we're talking about this at Murph I believe the stuff that can go on the crutches. I should have brought tripod over to you because this is great for him. So he doesn't spill his fries. Yeah, see, I mean this is a if I remember right I think you said this right here reduces like if you put different size. Cups or bottles or cans in it in the crutch holder right? Can you is this one of the things where they had to solve a problem? Yeah, so this comes. This is a project that has evolved over the last couple of years. So one of the things we do is on top of learning the machines we work on the engineering design process and we have engineering basically engineering challenges and we're looking for one and my colleague had a student that was on crutches for most of the semester said would it be nice if we could help the student out and create something that would hold their Chromebook and their water model as they try to get from class to class. Yeah, and it's evolved for our middle school. They don't allow backpacks. So we're like, okay, think about now your time in your middle school and you had this. What if your friends not available to help carry your stuff? How are you going to do this? Right. So that's so awesome. They have this challenge then. Create something that will attach to the crutch that will hold a Chromebook and a water bottle and then add more stuff on there because then they present it as their prototype. I work with like mad cat USA through Twitch and who actually works with orthopedics and stuff and he's helped to find some of the things that the kids need to take into account to make it even better and not create something that's going to hinder the use of the crutch itself, but then they figure out ways to attach it. A lot of these show various ways of using the different adjusting holes on the side of the crutches or just lips around the side. Okay. When I make them test it, they actually have to put the Chromebook and the water in there and do a complete loop around the classroom. He said love it and some of them fall out. Yeah, some of them fall out and that's why the Chromebooks have insurance. So, so, so Brits RC Maniacs, as I remember myself and friends in college being asked what we wish we learned and saying home economics. What's funny about that is when I was growing up, there was a lot of home ec classes offered where I was. So I took like the home ec, the cooking, all that stuff because I thought I love to do something. I love to do stuff with my hands and this was like in middle school time for us, you know, and I love to learn visually. I learned visually a lot better than I do. Like in the other classes sitting behind books or or whatever. So I took all those classes that I could and, you know, I think that I loved. I loved it. I loved that dimension. I got to eat. So, you know, that was a benefit too. Let's just throw it out there because it was like snack time then. But our culinary class is very well for that very reason. Yeah, I bet. Well, and you know, middle school gym was like one hundred and ten pounds. So I was like, you know, I like ate myself back then, but I bet you I bet you the I bet you the the people in the chat can guess what they didn't teach you in home ec. Dating. How to, um, Oreos. That's true. That's true. I was looking. I swear. Oh, here it is. There you go. I knew I saw. Oh, there it is. Yep. Yeah, it's a full motion race simulator. Um, to be fair, he made it too sensitive and when you drove it, if you didn't have it braced right, it actually could throw you out. So he had a little bit of tickering to do after the fact. I love it. So what you're saying is don't even race him after snack class. Yes. Yeah, a couple of things on the chat that's come up. Yeah. Unfortunately, too many of the. Um, Tech Ed and trade classes have found their ways out of schools and think Brett commented if your parents aren't handy, you just don't get those experiences. And we as a society have to do a better job because I think built over about mention that there's not a lot of love right now for the trades. We have to do a better job showing how great those opportunities are. And I work really hard now in my position to show that that is a viable option. I mean, we take tours down to one of our local businesses and other ones where their main input of employees comes straight through the trade schools and they help show what type of great career as these kids can get. So there's more options than just doing a traditional four year school. That's awesome. I mean, and that really needs to be out there more. I think, um, I think Mike row does a really good job of, of trying to, you know, get that message out. And I love, I love Mike row. I love everything he does. He has some hilarious, um, posts that he does all quite often, but, um, you know, it just like you could go be somebody said a welder or a millwright or, uh, you know, you could, you could go be a plumber, electrician, any of that stuff and make darn good money. You know, darn good. We underwater basketball. Okay. That brings me to the, like the HGTV, like renovate my house or whatever. We're looking for buying a new house kind of shows for a little while. We got into those and it was like, I'm a butterfly wing counter and I'm a pencil sharpener and we have a budget of $2 million. I'm like, come on. What's happening? But a butterfly wing counter. Yeah. I mean, like they do the craziest stuff, but, um, who wouldn't want to do who want to be anything other than a millwright? That's maker millwright is saying this. And by the way, um, there was a couple of questions that I did star. Let's see. Um, let's see. Who is your, oh, here we go. There you go. Who's your favorite Star Wars character? And why is it thrown? Um, that's my brother, Darth Vader. Oh, really? Nice. Your brother is blue. No, my brother's cold iron. Ask him the question. Oh, that was a Thrawn joke. My favorite is Darth Vader as in my display cabinet behind me here. That's so the joke around school. My colleague likes to claim I have a set shrine in my house. So when I finished off my basement, got the decorated and Star Wars theme, I basically created my set shrine. Get to school in the morning using a Sith Wayfinder. Well, let's just say I have a disco ball death star hanging in my physics classroom. Where does one get a disco ball death star asking for a friend? Yeah. Um, be known as the Star Wars teacher in your school and when prom falls on May the 4th and they do a Star Wars themed one, they give it to you. Oh, nice. That's also also my son's birthday May the 4th. Yeah, but weird thing is she wouldn't let me name him Jar Jar. I don't know why. No, I love it. We have, you know, I just I keep thinking like I wish they had this when I was in school and we there's like a lot of stuff that's taken away. But in your case, you guys have like that opportunity in your area in your case. Is there something like any of us out watching right now? Is there anything we could do to help make maybe make this happen in our areas or help like you in your area or anything like that? Because I think many of us watching would would be would actually love to see this happen in our areas. And I think a lot of people probably take part in it if we could, you know? So what, you know, like I said, what can we do to maybe start that conversation in our areas help out you in your area, that kind of thing. So I mean, that's why the reason I started going to Murph. We as we established our fab lab, we ended up hosting teachers from around the country and train them into how to teach in a maker space. And we had done that for a number of years and we and I say across the nation, we literally had a teacher from Hawaii through Maine and mostly in our upper Midwest Wisconsin was well represented and now there's a lot of those types of spaces in that area. So what I continue to do now now that isn't as big of the man for having full. I mean, those were two week boot type boot camp type classes where we learned them through how to use all the equipment from through all how we run the curriculum and stuff. What I do now is I provide my information and then I will consult with other teachers and stuff because biggest thing I've heard from other teachers is, Hey, maybe somebody gives them a 3D printer or the school buys them one, but they don't know how to use it. And I'll work with them on how to make it not some special little thing in the corner, but how can that get embedded into what they're doing? I guess say our curriculum has shifted a lot into we have to solve a problem. Here's our tools that we can use to do that. How are we going to use these tools to start solving those problems? And what people can do is multiple ways. Yeah, everything costs money, of course. So some people can support financially. That's how we got our fab lab. We had a group get together early on, but they were retired engineers and were able to do that. The other thing that helped us a lot. We had people who had expertise and knowledge volunteer in our space. We would have four people regularly early on come in and work with kids share their knowledge of 3D printing lasers and the vinyl stuff and really help them out with that. And then if you have things you can share, we've gotten a lot of as we're building our electronics. We've gotten a lot of electronics kits donated that we've been able to scavenge parts from to create different stuff. We, well, I use myself as an example. Anytime I'm online and I win a roll of filament, you know where that goes? That goes pretty much right to my school because filament ain't cheap and kids use a lot of it because you know what? They're not the greatest at following all the directions and getting stuff. So you have extra filament you want to share find a school that can help out with that personally. Peslas made me create a huge wish list that I put together on my Twitch channel. So I put down everything that anyone's told me something that would be really cool to try. That's outside my normal budget and dropped it on there. I include other things like in my physics class. I teach a University of Minnesota physics class at my high school in which they're limited by what type of calculator they have to use. So instead of asking the kids to buy it, I'm trying to get a classroom set because they already have the graphing calculator for math. I need them to have a scientific one without the graphing function for physics. So I look for stuff like that and that's those tend to things either fall in the kids fall in the teachers and those type of things really help out. I just popped that wish list in the chat. Oh, I appreciate that. That's awesome. That's a great idea. I think I never even thought of that too. I mean, that's perfect because people can jump on there, pick up stuff and drop it right to you and help you out and that's awesome. Yeah, I see it was a Ben the age. Yeah, a lot of schools and libraries get those 3D printers and then nobody uses them. If you have time and expertise volunteer. I was just talking with shenanigans on his. I think I've convinced him to go into his kid's school and help to show them Tinker cat. Tinker kid can be shown to kids fairly young can get started with that and I use it still through high school. I'll give a shout out to maker mill right on that he's showing me how much can really be done with Tinker kid and how incredibly complex you can make stuff with that. Oh, wow. I might have to dive in that. My wife is dove into the Tinker cat headfirst now and she is making stuff for miniatures and she just looks at stuff. She's like, I need to make that for miniature and now it's like there's no it used to be like, Oh, that'd be cool if we could find this now. It's like, I want to make this, you know, we were sitting there today in my little guy's room before I came over here and she's looking up and she's like, we have those glue on blown to dark stars, right? Like all over the place and she put them all over and made different patterns and stuff with them and she's like, I could make this a miniature. You have a dark filament, right? And I was like, yeah, she just can you bring home a point for nozzle and I was like, yeah. And then she's like, can you show me how to install the point for nozzle on the but I have an X one carbon that I brought home for her and I was like, sure. I have a video about it too. And she's like, all right, bring the nozzle home. Just watch your video. You know, not that I wouldn't just show her because it's faster than watching the video. But what? No, I see how it is. Yeah. You big YouTuber energy when your wife asks you for help with something, you're like, yeah, just watch my video. I already did that. Go watch it. No, but I told her like, I mean, it's just cool because she's really interested and then you said that about Tinker cat. I'm like, hmm, now I might have to I might have to pick maker Millwright's brain because right here. This was all designed and in Tinker cat. He this is a maker Millwright creation. My sign here. Oh, wow. Nice. He made for me and then all done in Tinker cat. That's awesome. But you also mentioned like glow in the dark filament for me. I buy filament. I buy a lot of filament, but I buy black, white, gray and our still colors pretty much. Yeah. So yeah. When you know, I went stuff. That's when I get to bring in some cool stuff for kids to try. That's cool. I mean, I once on TPU and kids went wild with that doing phone cases and tires and everything else. Right. That's really fun. Really quick because I'm proud of this. So she designed. She just does she have it. This isn't the one. Anyways, now I think she was actually showing off the soap. She made a little soap holder and soap. That's for miniatures. But but like, let's see. This is the little she actually made these jars with with UV curing resin. It looks so cozy. Let me go back. There we go. So the XO sign, you see those like real houses right now. She's like, I can make that. So she jumped into Tinker cat and grab. She came over here. We were here Saturday. She was filament shopping and and she brought she brought home a bunch of polymaker and started playing with playing with that. This was her first three colors. She's using the AMS like we were talking about multicolor, right? Nice super pumped because this was all done straight off the AMS in this picture really doesn't do it justice. It's so cool to see it in person because it looks just like a house sign would write and you can't really with the exception of the lines on the top, you can't really tell it's printed, but this is using a point to nozzle. She has been doing one 12th scale. So one foot, one inch in that scale, right? So she just measures. She's measured stuff and it's sometimes you're like, just doesn't look great because it's so small. But you know what's great about that? The Star Wars black series figures are six inch figures. They're one 12th scale. Oh, you can start putting Star Wars figures on the couch and stuff. I should do that. So she's like lately. She's going like crazy with the multicolor stuff though. So she's making, you know, for bathrooms for her bathroom, she's making these bottles. So I figured it out. It's a full size. It's a full size sign with a giant. Yes, it's absolutely true. And you know, and she's just like, oh, and now now we were talking. She's like, how do I get? How do I put labels on stuff? And I was like, we could get a UV, you know, UV printer and and she's like, what is that? So she looked it up. Expensive. Yeah, exactly. And then I don't know. I think I showed this last week or maybe I didn't but oh, that's awesome. In our house. And then she printed it in a brown filament painted it white and then sanded it off. And now she's selling the letters on her Etsy store. That's super cool. But she's that's what we actually have in our house and then that's the one she made. Right? So it's super cool that you can use things like like TinkerCAD because that's not what I want to do. There we go. Because she like never designed. She never has never done anything. She's watched a few YouTube videos, you know, trying to learn and most of it's just tinkering literally in TinkerCAD, you know. But yeah, soap for ants. Yes. Yes, soap for ants. What time is it? Oh man, what do you think you want to you're going to stick around for some hot makes? Can we dive into that quick? Absolutely. And it could mods as my last name is Farmer, but my family hasn't been farmers for a number of generations and I get that every school year or so. Yeah. Yeah. Well, his last name is Farmer as well. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Not that I just outed him or something. I think everybody knows his real name. I think everybody knows. Yeah. Irf. Irfa. I'll see you there. Die sub printer is fine for stickers too and cheaper than UV, you know, I have a die sub photo printer. That would work. There you go. Never thought of that. It because I had a photo booth right with my DJ business and I have a pretty dang nice die sub photo printer. I never even thought about that. How does that work? I'll have to look it up. Hit me up. Is that Marcus that said that? Yes. Hit me up, Marcus. If you know how to make that work. All right. Here we go. We got some hot makes. Let's jump into it. Let's do it. Speaking of designers, light speed is Bob, you know, been killing it was always on it. He did this thing and this was like at the end of the last show. He's like, I should attack this at that time. It was free. Not so much anymore, but he made the bomb pop. Yes. Oh, so. Rocket pop, a bomb pop, whatever you want to call it. So I pulled a Twitch account in the on another tab to pull that to pull the Amazon wish list up and apparently some of your streams started playing in the background because this whole time I thought I was sitting here going, why is he talking so quietly? Like, and he doesn't seem like he's talking to us either. He's just kind of talking like. That's awesome. Oh, you got a view, but this is the bomb pop or rocket pop, whatever you want to call them. And he made a couple different versions and they unscrew and you can like store stuff in there. Super cool. I the colors, by the way spot on. One could say it's the bomb. Yeah. They very much. We literally, I want to say literally. All right. Here we go. Next, old salty Wayne says Wester, Wester, your models and the bamboo X1 carbon are perfect combination. There you go. That is damn good. Look at that. Yeah. That's fun. I love. I love how shiny the hair is. Mm hmm. I'm just curious something real quick. Is this? No, maybe not. Okay. So that's I was looking. One, two, three, that's five colors. Um, it looks like it. So yeah, it looks like you'd have to, if it was just the regular, you know, four, you would just swap the gray out with red while it's doing the tie and stuff. Yeah, exactly. If somebody doesn't know that trick, if you have one AMS, you could get four colors, but really you could do more. You just started the bottom here and you color say, say this gray here, you're not going to use that again up here. So that in is gray and then use that same color for the lips, right? And then when the gray is done, just swap the filament in the AMS. It doesn't care or know that you change the color. You don't have to tell it. So then just don't accidentally swap it backward. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's gray and, uh, you know, you're, you're printing red. I love that. I love that trick. That's cool. A few times, uh, but nice work. I love it. Old salty. Hey, are those, uh, are the pigtails in the hair flexi? They look flexi. Uh, that's a good question. Let us know if you know that because, uh, let us know if they're like flat on one end and they look like they have hinges. Yeah, it might be. I can't tell, but if somebody knows, let us know, let us know. All right. Next, Hugh Forge. Uh, another Hugh Forge clock. Uh, this is printed on the X1 carbon with an AMS. So no need to. There you go. Oh, I like that. That is so cool. Have you seen the Hugh Forge stuff, Brian? I was introduced to it at Murph. Nice. Um, and some sweet stuff at Murph. I need to look more into that. You know, those were telling me about it. It's a station. Zombie, uh, zombie was over by the Hugh Forge. Well, I think it was at the polymaker table. Um, there was a bunch of you forge stuff at Murph. And this is gorgeous. Man, I love, I love that you can see like there's even like, there was like an atmospheric haze on the horizon and the horizon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wednesday with flexi here. Uh, here's some LED lamps that I recently 3d printed. You can get the files here. If you're interested, this is, uh, Chris Bobo. Let's see. These look like Sith holocrons. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't the lights. It's got to be colored light, right? Otherwise, that's multicolor filament. I can't. That's got to be imagine. It's got to be the light. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Okay. Now it's changing so fast. Yeah. Get the files here. If you're interested. I might be printing a couple of those for the house. Those are so cool. Yeah. Color changing light. Okay. That's what I thought. At first, the way it was spinning, it makes you think it's like a multicolor filament and you can do that with this though. You know what I mean? You could definitely do that with that. Um, if you go to that things link on there, uh, um, in the post, there's a ton of, um, different patterns you can choose from to that's cool. It's really cool. Some of these look, some of them look like classic 3d printing like with hexagons and stuff. Oh, yeah, look like. Yeah. I just noticed you there's one here that looks like a Gothic like a cathedral. Yeah. Like this one. Man. Well, that's some cool ones. That is super cool. Love it. Work. Nice. More, more ideas for the kids, right? That's where I grab them from. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Next, um, a llama. Oh boy. We got, let's see. We might have to turn sound on, but hang on. Let me see if there's music. Let me just make sure. What is this? There's not music, but I don't think I can start it over. Hang on. Hang on. Okay. Time out. Can you, can you can hit, you can do it. Yep. You're unmuted. Okay, let's, let's see if you can hear it. You hear it? I don't hear anything. Oh, it sounds like a wash machine banging. Oh, I wasn't expecting that. Yeah. It sounds like a wash machine in the, in the sound. It's like, leave it to llama to find us. Man. You know, what's your, what's your problem? I want to, I want to hear the sound of the wash machine banging. What's the solution? There you go. Floppy fish. Um, that completely threw me off. It's so good. It actually looks really good from this angle. It does. Yeah. Yeah. I wish we could hear it. Yeah. Did you, uh, did you share with audio? I did, but it's so weird about how that works. I don't think I can show it. That's all right. There's links. Right. Yeah. There's a link in there. Okay. So, so go check it out. Lama shared it. Hilarious, by the way. I don't know how to spell hilarious. I just pulled it up in another tab and I'm listening to it right now. It's ridiculous. I wish I could tell him why the sound didn't come through. All right. Next. Silver bear dump truck. I'm going to have to print this for my little guy now. But, uh, here you go. Got a lot of dump trucks. I love that so many people jumped on this and did so many different variations of, of the truck. The, uh, well, the original one was the fire truck, right? Mm hmm. Yes. Oh, love it. We got a bigger dump truck in the back. There we go. Your dog. I heard you like dump trucks. So put a dump truck in your dump truck and you fix some dude motors in place. Dump truck is out. Fix some dude. That's awesome. Oh, so good. That like 300 or 400%, 250, 10% infill, 0.6, 0.6 nozzle. Nice. That is epic. Nice work. Fix some dude and nice work. Silver bear. Very cool. Uh, I thought you'd like this one, Brian. Uh, I think a lot of people will like this one, but this is actually, um, I had to look at this because I saw that it says we're having signs of life from the printer block 3D printer. And I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on. Uh, you know, 3D printing professor has printer blocks. How come we're calling this a printer block printer? Right? Okay. Uh, I didn't realize. So this is not printing great, but this is actually made from printer blocks. Wow. What? Yeah. So if we go back and like, what is this trying on? This is the recreator fun size, but this is the printer block printer and he's working on getting it to work, but it's, it's actually made from printer blocks. That's fun. That's awesome. That is so cool. Uh, such, I mean, like, cause I was like, wait a minute, how can you take that name in? And I was like, whoa, I see what you did there. I had to actually go look at it. Um, that's such a cool idea. Get the pieces here. All the connectors. Oh man. I love it. Opens awesome to tell you. Very awesome. Um, next same old Shane, we come project done next project with proper photos. Look at that. Put Joel tagged us in this. This is so cool. Yeah, I want more details. Give me more details. That's a lot of pieces. This is that, um, uh, what is it? 3D toy, um, dang it. Help me out in the chat. I, I know the maker out there. Does he tag the maker? He didn't tag the maker. No, I thought this was that, that, um, oh, here it is. Yeah. Toy maker 3D. There you go. Toy maker 3D lightning Megazord v2. Yeah. A lot of a lot of pieces on this one, huh? We got to talk to this toy maker 3D guy. There's a project that'll keep the class busy for a minute. Brian, I would only let certain students take on something like that. It looks like a senior thesis project. Yes. There's a lot of pieces. A lot of pieces. Man, that's awesome. Nice work, Shane. Very nice work. Another amazing alley, uh, alley killed it with this one. My eyes are water and sorry about that. Um, presenting a fully functional life size Dynamics ball from Pokemon sword. Um, it's going to go perfectly with a clear cosplay and she's going to be making an appearance at dragon con. I think that's, that's awesome. I don't know. Um, but here, let me, let me just do this. Definitely can't have sound on this one though. I love seeing the inside like skeletal elements of cool projects like this. Look at this. That is so neat. So good. And that's where we're starting to go. More of our kids want to start incorporating electronics into their prints. Yep. Nice. Yeah. Very, very cool. Shell, the electronics. So good. I got to get, I got to get better. Just in general. It's a good goal. See this and I'm like, what am I doing with myself? Yeah. Uh, yeah, I see this and I'm like, man, I wish I had time. I need to finish the dang rat rig 500. So I can print like this in one go or two goes one dome on each side or something. You know what I mean? But awesome job. Alley. This is, I bet you we could probably, uh, how big do you think that is? I bet you knock that out on a Delta like with a 300. No, I guess I don't know. You know, uh, cutting mat for scale. Where's the banana alley? Come on. Um, you're asking for banana. It's literally on a cutting mat with measurement science. Yeah. Oh, you could get, you could get better Kayla, but you're too busy tornado chasing. Ooh. Yeah, that's fair. No, the tornado chase is me. That's the problem. And it gets a little bit too close for it. Tripods garage. I think I saw tripod on. Uh, it's a real struggle for me to print something that isn't a practical print. So I asked Miss tripod to pick something from, from the anchor make app for a hot, for a hot muffin to print. Well, the cookie CAD, uh, well with cookie CAD unicorn fast change. I have to say I love that change filament. Yeah. Cookie cat is some awesome people and some awesome filament too. Very cool. Very, very not bad. I mean, if this was done on the anchor make, it was probably pretty fast. It's not a hundred percent perfect, but I bet it was done in like a quarter of the time it would have been on another printer. Right. Um, pick some dude wants to know how many bananas are in an inch. I cannot answer that the way I want to on this show right now. I mean, if you figure this is about six inches, I don't know where you're getting that six inches from. That's not. Oh, that's not. No, not even close, dude. I thought this, yeah, this is about six inches. No, it's not. So I've been taking notes of what I got. Make sure I teach kids. So apparently inches are one of those. Yep. But the other thing is that cookie CAD is a good filament to look into. I haven't tried that one. So cookie CAD has some amazing colors and they're great people. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And they have a lot of really cool like pastel colors. Yes. Sunset sunrise to amazing amazing colors. I thought I had something here in one of those could be wrong. I've got some of their mint colored people are laughing. Okay. That's what I told. That's what I told. It's about six inches. No, okay. Next. I was going to make a different joke, but you totally. Yeah, yeah. That's where you're going to Norman. So we were tagged later in this and this is if you have not seen this video on the tested channel, you have to go check it out. This is the front. Yeah, from Starfield. Just an amazing build, an amazing model. I don't want to check out the Starfield. Yeah, I've never seen it either. But they have so many people in here working on this. They said it was a huge team effort. I didn't watch the video, but I mean, does he would he consider this like studio scale? Now you know there's electronics and stuff too. Yeah. Why that is so cool. You have to watch the video and find out. But if I love the stuff that they do on tested, Adam Savage has been just a favorite of mine. Of course, it's a myth Buster days, right? I think a lot of us could say that Adam Savage is like the granddaddy of makers, right? Get if we get him on the show sometime, that'll be the the Pentagon. We're shutting down the week after we don't watch that a lot or have a lot of kids that check out tested and Jimmy DeRyste and a lot of those. I want to go to these days. Jimmy's good stuff and I mean, it's what's super cool about, you know, the test channels. They do so much different things. Adam is really good. Like, you know what? Today I'm going to make a bookcase, right? And he'll go through everything he would do to do that or a box. The way he makes like boxes. So the lid fits and stuff is super cool. You know, he basically literally it makes a box and then, yeah, literally and then cuts cuts like the top off of it and that's his top. You know, he puts a hinge on it and stuff. It's it's so cool how he does that. So I asked Jimmy a while ago if he would join the show sometime and he said yes, but I never followed up with him on that. I mean, do it. Um, all right, we're going to keep rolling the big channel. Needed needed a new headphones stand. So I decided to try my luck with the clock spring vertebra and head phone stand 22 hours later. Oh, wow. Is done. I like that. I like that. It looks like a robot. Like what was that Brian? I would just say nice channel that turned out good. Yeah. Got to have the hex guns in there somewhere, right? That's awesome. I love, I love Sven. He's a freaking genius. Mm-hmm. Nice work there. Jannu loving it. The Jannu leaf. He did that working on his check out is not sure. Were you on? I don't remember Jannu if you were on YouTube or Twitch or what you were on the other day, but building your Excel. But let us know when you're going to start building them again on stream. Um, Chris Travis, a couple of prints from my AMS. Speaking of AMS, there you go. There's a, I don't know. I don't understand what this sign is trying to say. What is going on here? Warning to avoid injury. Don't touch my 3d printer. I don't know. What is that supposed to be? Is it mean like you're going to beat your kid? If you, if it doesn't say that, I wouldn't say that's a kid necessarily. Then what's going on there? Why are they under the table? What is going on? Why is there a baseball bat? I don't understand this. Definitely is going to be in trouble. Uh, but I wouldn't say under the table. They're not even touching the printer. I don't know. I'm very confused. They already did. It's a cool print. I just don't understand the context. I don't know what the message is supposed to be here. And I don't know if I appreciate it. Well, I appears that they already did touch the printer and now they're reaping. I don't know. Either that or either that or the first one's holding the hair because the second one's sick. I'm not sure. That is the last thing that I imagine that was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Next going bubbles. Okay. Love it. Love it. I like the scrubbing bubbles for sure. Oh, two, two. Those are both so clean. I love that with the scrubbing goals. I love the, uh, the way the, uh, it's it probably would have been easy to just make a cylindrical thing with like ribs on it so that like it looks like the brush. But no, it looks like it's got some motion to it. So it's cool. I'm not sure if Chris is with us. Um, Chris, if you're here, you said this was your AMS prints, right? I'm reading that. Correct. I don't know if Chris is here or not. Uh, but this is on a Prusa. So you printed it on your AMS and you're displaying it on the Prusa. I'm just gonna throw it out there. Yeah. Um, maybe the, uh, the bamboo took over all of his printing and, uh, he was still printing on the bamboo and all he uses is Prusa for now. It's a backdrop. Maybe someone touched his bamboo and it fell off the table. Who knows? Who knows? Um, he was swinging it bad at somebody and accidentally hit the. All right. Last but not least cause we're running late here. Um, wanted to I'm blown away by this amazing dragon that Ian Douglas seven to 36 printed and painted and gave away on a stream a couple of weeks ago. I was a lucky winner and I was excited that I won, but I have no idea what I was going to be this, that it was going to be this large or of this quality. Um, this looks like it's the way the photos are taken. It looks like it's set up to be a hood ornament on a car and that would make the most epic. Wow. This thing is painted great. Yeah. Oh, there's more pictures underneath it too. Yeah. He actually did a dance and I opened the box. I had to assemble this beast using 3d gloops and thick CA as well. I need to find a proper home in the house. If you don't follow in Ian Douglas seven to six here on Twitch, you should go. Boom. I mean, uh, fun fact, uh, you can thicken CA glue with, uh, well, never mind. I take that back cause I don't wanna misinform people. I forget if it's baby powder or if it's a flower. I think it's flower. I can't remember. Nevermind. So many of the checking help. Yeah. This, this is awesome. Uh, Chris is on a vacation. Got it. I see me. Prusa's do you have a nice car for sale? Prusa's make a good display area. He had to use the Prusa for something. Oh, I knew that was coming. That's what it was cornstarch. Thank you, Shane. I love it. This dragon is thick. What if this is actually tiny and it's a one 12th scale car that it's sitting on? Then, then that guy has some serious painting skills. Well, having watched Ian Douglas paint that on a stream, I can tell you that's a big dragon. Yeah. It's awesome. Now I'm going to have to check it out because I've never, I've never seen Ian Douglas. I don't think so. Another person to check out. Awesome. Well, that was a hot mix. That was good stuff. Huh? Yeah. Oh, we lost to Caleb there. Oh, we lost to Brian. Sorry. Well, Ian Douglas, I got this from him. Oh, okay. What is it? Oh, yeah. Is that in your pictures? This one probably is not. I just got this from Ian Douglas. I won some coupons from him. I was able to get this office. That's awesome. Is that the 3D printing world one? Yeah. I think that's where I got it. But it looks like it. Yeah. Yep. I have the same one. Those are so fun. Very, very cool. Cocaine may work. Anything powdery really. Oh man. I love it. Old Salty says I was just trying to catch up. Caleb asked if the braids on Wednesday are flexi. They are. Yes. I knew it. Right. I'm smart. Well, we're running quite late today. But I appreciate you being here, Brian. Real quick before we go. I got to say this. So here's where we're going to try something new this for next week. We're going to try to get out of our comfort zone a little. Keep tagging us in the cool stuff. Hashtag hot makes on the bottom there on the X or Twitter's or whatever you want to call it. But I have I have assignment go out. Find something cool that is woodworking related. Tag us hot makes in that. So I'm we're going to try to do this like a theme every week. It's funny. We were just for a few weeks and see how it goes. Right. And yeah, right. And I'm curious to see what we can find like outside of our norm. No, we see some amazing stuff inside and keep tagging that stuff too. But I'm curious to see what you guys can find that would be cool. That has to do with woodworking could be anything. Be lasers CNC classic woodworking carving eagles and tree stumps whatever you want. Right. But go check it out. Tag hashtag hot makes. I want to see what you guys can find. Take five minutes of your time and check it out because I'm curious and then the other cool thing is maybe they'll be like what's a hot makes and they'll come check us out and we can get some of the other maker, you know, people out there too on. So I don't Lama. I think Lama does woodworking doesn't he? Lama does. Yes. Yeah, we have sweet cocks. Remember something. Yeah. And he's he's been doing really cool stuff actually those in the other room. I found them packing things. There's so many people away from the tornado. Somebody say stumps. Yes, put an eagle on your anyways. Anyways, real quick before we go. So Brian, one more time. Who are you? What do you do? And most of all, where can we find you? Yep. I'm Brian Farmer. I also known as Darth Gallum. I have. As far as teaching jobs, one of the best ones. I think there are. I get to be a STEM educator or steam educator. I'm in work at Monomy High School suburb of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. If you're looking for stuff that is really cool at my school, you can find that on X at Monomy Dye Fab Lab or Monomy Dye Engineering, both come up to us or at Darth Gallum. If you want to see some of the things I work on, I like to try to share out occasionally on Twitch. A lot of the cool stuff that my students make. Do that a weekly show during the school year and then also somewhat active on X at the same handle. There's Gallum. Jim Cale, thank you so much for having me. And yeah, thanks for hanging out with us. Sorry, we're going a little bit late. And we only scratched the surface. I got a ton more I could share with you guys. We'll have to have you back then. And I like that. Absolutely. Yeah. It's hard to pack everything. We're always running late because it's hard to pack everything into that time, that one hour slot. I agree 100%. Sometimes I'm like, do we do the hot makes? Do we keep talking? Oh, we have to do the hot makes. Yeah. But I don't know about that. He's like, we don't have to do hot makes tonight. And I'm like, it's the name of the show. We have to. It's the whole year. I know, I know. But check out, check out the links in the description below. You're going to find everything we showed in the hot makes and also, most importantly, all Brian's links are there as well. Go check out the school stuff. There is a link in an Amazon wish list. So if you want to check that out and shoot something over to the school, do it. And I think there's a way to put a note in there. If you do that, I can't remember. I think there's like a gift note or something. If you do that, type like, I saw this on hot makes or something like, but Brian know it because I'm curious to see like, you know, if he does, if you get anything from the show too. So, but other than that, everybody, I'll reference it and yeah, it'd be awesome. Everybody else, thank you guys so much for being here. We really appreciate it. Every Monday right here, 6 p.m. Central on hot makes and we will see you guys next week. Anything else? Caleb, we got to go. Good. No, I'm good. I'm tired. All right, Brian. We'll be right back with you. Everybody else. Have a great night. See you next week. Bye later.
