So, I spent way too much time today watching his channel. Is anyone else following him?

All the time. No nonsense videos and tons of talent. I first saw him on discovery channel.

He has a video about building a wood strip canoe.  No really!

Yeah he's OG YouTube, there is a whole woodworking/maker scene that has started because of his content.  I've gotten to the point where I watch/listen to more maker stuff than car stuff.

 

Make sure you give Making It (the podcast not the tv show) a listen.

I had to look up what OG meant (man, I’m so old!). I’ll make sure to listen to Making It, thanks.

Yup, I watch his channel and about a zillion other makers, machinists, woodworkers, ....it's a wonder I ever get anything done, I'm always watching other people get stuff done instead.  smiley

Okay, I got sucked into the first 2/3 of this video.  What a boatload of talent.

Yeah, the canoe build is awesome. Both DiResta and Nick Offerman used the kits available from Bear Mountain Boats for their builds. Someday I’d love to build the 17’ kayak.

Going here Makers Central next May.  DiResta, Colin Furze, Izzy Swan, and bunch more will be there.  I just got back into wood turning earlier this year after being inspired by some of the cool work I've been seeing on YouTube.
