Build, Create
& Learn.

A Maker's Journey.

A reflective podcast about the process of making: starting projects, getting stuck, learning tools, changing direction, and turning ideas into artifacts. It sits next to my Blog as an audio/video archive of ongoing technical exploration.

It's not a polished expert show. It's a record of learning in public — including unfinished work, mistakes, changing interests, and the search for meaningful projects at the intersection of technology, mechanical systems, and making.
