A Faire for makers of….
MakerFaire appears to be a fair for makers of… well loads of interesting stuff for woodworkers certainly - and then some it would seem.
In their own words, Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. Want to see robots, rockets, a catapult competition, even a life-sized mousetrap? They’ll all be at Maker Faire
Something for everyone then - woodworkers included!
Of special interest to woodworkers will be Fox Chapel Publishing who will be on-hand celebrating the fun of woodworking by racing pinewood derby cars down a 40-foot track with Troy Thorne, author of Pinewood Derby Designs & Patterns, turning bowls with the help of the Central Texas Woodturners Association, building mousetrap-powered racers with our new author, Doc Fizzix, and spitting wood chips from our whittling and carving projects. We’ll also have on display our famous Wooden Gear Clock and challenging Cryptex Puzzle Vault — both recent cover projects from Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts.
