Instructions Unclear with Jeff Stein aka aweirdguy
This week, Adam & Jessy are joined by Jeff Stein aka aweirdguy. We talk about giant golf pencils, inverted nipple vases, how we think about projects, and what we do when there's a complete lack of instructions or documentation. Also lots and lots about why Autodesk Fusion is a great choice for those wanting to make on a CNC.
Check out Jeff's work on instagram to see all his awesome projects:
