## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss the concept of legacy following the recent passing of Bob Clagett's grandfather, a dentist and prolific maker who carved lifelike birds and painted landscapes. The hosts reflect on how their grandfather's observational skills, repair ethic, and integration of passion into daily life serve as a model for creating a meaningful impact, regardless of one's platform size. They also touch on the importance of preserving maker history by acquiring tools from deceased artisans and share updates on their current projects and upcoming appearances at Maker Faire.
