## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss their recent projects, including Bob's leather backpack and beehive house build, and Jimmy's talk at the Mini Maker Faire in New Orleans. They explore the different models of maker spaces, contrasting resource-heavy facilities with community-focused hubs, and highlight the potential for maker spaces to support media production. The conversation shifts to everyday carry (EDC) items, emphasizing the utility of tape, flashlights, and the importance of saving rope for future projects.
