Maker Lounge Podcast

This episode was recorded with a live studio audience from Workbench Con 2023 in Atlanta. We invited our Patreon members and others to join us while I spoke with Hannah and Skylar from SurfPrep Sanding. SurfPrep has been a long-time partner of Voeltner Woodworking and the Maker Lounge Podcast, and it was a perfect opportunity to sit with them in person to talk about how the business got started, share some great memories, and get you to know more about the family behind the brand. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Thank you to Kristin and the team at Workbench Con for letting us set up this recording space!

What this guy makes with dyed skateboard veneers would make you think he is a hardcore skater, but don’t be fooled. I still haven’t seen him do an ollie or a kickflip. From 3d topographic carvings to epoxy inlaid french cleat wall organization, today’s guest has some incredible builds that definitely inspire. He doesn’t have to go far to start building because he’s clearly Making at Home. Steve Moseley with Making at Home is here.

If you want to know how to properly say Cah-haht or Smaht, this guy is your tutor. You may have seen him making a commode or working a grinder on the Netflix show Making Fun. This guy makes ZZ Top seem like ZZ Bottom and gives me tremendous beard envy. Not only is this blue-collar maker great on camera building taco launching dinosaurs and glitter farting unicorns, this woodworker makes some amazing signs, furniture, and other custom projects. He’s everyone’s homeboy! Derek from Malden joins us here in the Lounge.

Welcome to the Lounge. I’m Matt with Voeltner Woodworking and your host of the Maker Lounge Podcast, where we have a rotating group of makers, hanging out, and talking craft to each other. Thanks for hanging out with us in the lounge.

Today, the guest becomes cohost. The Big D, 3D Dave, is back to cohost with me. Even Chuck Norris asks Dave for 3D Printing advice. We had so much fun in last week’s episode that by a unanimous vote of 1, I asked him back.

Our guest in the lounge today is one whose company motto is “Made for fun,” which is the same phrase my parents used before I was conceived. When his bags hit the board, they slide right in. Tyler with Temecula Yard Games is with us.

Don't forget to check out our after show by becoming a patron (links below).

Today, I have a very special guest. He’s a maker, Youtuber, Ameteur Engineer, Artist, and Master of Jig-O-Nometry. I know this because it says so in his bio. If you say his name backwards, it’s the same as it is forward. I’m talking about the Godfather of invention. Izzy Swan.

Izzy Swan is known for his knack for inventing and innovating existing products to be more functional. He has grown his YouTube presence to over 875k subscribers, has a tremendous Instagram presence, and has networked his way to do business with various companies to outsource and sell his ideas. Most recently, Izzy sold his X-Clamp system to Woodpeckers who now produces the product, getting the product into more hands through their marketing channels. Many of Izzy's products can be found in stores throughout the US, including Taylor Toolworks.

Chatting with Izzy was a true joy for me. I have had the chance to get to know Izzy over the last year and he is always genuine and selfless with his time and knowledge. It must also be said that Maggie, who was beside him throughout the podcast, is also quite literally by his side throughout all of his endeavors; she is a true gem of a woman.

I hope you have been enjoying the episodes so far. The best way to get the most out of the content is to join us in the after show by becoming a Patreon member.
