Want some inspiration to launch your own Handmade adventure? [Anne Hollowday] wrote in to share a series of short films she’s been posting called Makers of Things.
So far there are just four episodes but we hope she makes many more. Above you can see the latest, entitled Woodworker. It’s a monologue-style interview with masters of their crafts. The first installment looks at an engineering club called SMEE that builds a wide range of intricately engineered things like clocks. There’s another maker who builds miniature models of machines. And of course, The Problem Solver whose high-tech endeavors parallel the subjects of interest found on our main site.
I think episode 5 should be “The Makers of Things: The Filmmaker”. This is an inspiring series, beautifully shot and very nicely executed.
I don’t know about you, but I want to see the rest of his chisels.
I identify with him as a toolmaker.
