Do It Yourself, not Do It Alone! Come with host Matt Orzulak as he goes on a journey. He's inherited a garage full of tools that he only has a cursory understanding of how to use. He's been a researcher and teacher, so his methodical learning has a lot of documentation, so it will be easy for other beginners to follow along while he works. He's setting out to teach himself how to do it himself, so you don't have to do it alone.

Let's build! I make some squares!

Welcome to audio torture! I attempt to make a recording in my garage of me actually making something. It isn't... a failure, per se, but it also isn't an absolutely magnificent audio experience. You get to hear what power tools sound like! And we all learn an important lesson about persisting through adversity.

Project Creep, Varnish

Matt tries to go fast, and then goes really slow. So slow, it's two days late. He learns a valuable lesson about writing a script, and you get to listen to a story about how to not get side tracked buying tools for your tools instead of actually making something. A listener has a question about varnish, so Matt tells us about how paint works and how to get best results when finishing models.
