## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss their experiences at the Louisville Maker Faire, where Bob Clagett managed to attend despite a severe back injury. They detail the process of building a collaborative 'double secret project' table using resin and wood, and troubleshooting a vintage Heidelberg Windmill press for a live demonstration. The conversation also covers Bob's recent purchase of a new Chevy pickup truck, the challenges of car design and manufacturing shortages, and David's project to upcycle a plastic storage unit into a wooden cabinet.
