Whether it’s a new invention, a delicious meal or a crafty project, making something can inspire a unique sense of pride. You’ll hear about an elaborate doghouse that took over one man’s life for a while. An inventor who tackled the limitations of the egg timer in the early days of digital gadgets. And how a knitting project kept one woman grounded over the course of two years.
Segment A: Building a living wall, creating a "sound cave" (a two ton instrument that resembles a pillow fort made from piano parts) and perhaps the most elaborate doghouse in the world.
Segment B: An interview with Etsy success story Emily Martin of "The Black Apple," how building a bed can be like giving birth and the story of an epic knitting project.
Segment C: DIY butchering and inventing a new kitchen timer in the pre-digital age.
Host name: Julie Sabatier (suh-BAH-tee-ay)
