Honored to speak at the first Conference in Xenia, OH!
60 makerspace leaders from across the Midwest, one room, and so many great ideas exchanged. We shared the Maker Nexus journey — growing sustainably through Access, Community & Transparency.
This is why community matters. Can't wait for the next one!

Only 4 more days until Open Sauce 2026 and we're super excited! Come hang out, solder some magic into a Mr. Resistor wearable pin, and get lost in our 4-person ball maze (not literally, we hope)!!

Open Sauce is right around the corner! Maker Nexus is collaborating with makers from all over to provide space to finish up some projects. Olivier van Embden realized it would be too difficult to transport his project from the Netherlands, and is now re-building a new one at Maker Nexus. This is a fully-functional sea-worthy kayak made entirely out of paper! We will post more photos over the next few days to show how the kayak is coming along!

Infinity Cube made from Cherry, designed in OnShape. Fun multi-stage glue-up to get everything square. I used the Boolean subtract feature in OnShape to generate a simple 3D printed stand into which the cube snaps securely."

"Mahogany blanket chest. I fitted the lock this morning and that was the last of it.

This chest incorporates a few themes you'll see in many Greene and Greene pieces.

Very few elements are coplanar. On the front plane, for example, this piece has 4 different planes: outer stiles, inner stiles, upper and lower rails, and the plinth.
Ebony plugs. The black squares are ebony plugs. Like the original G&G furniture, most of them are decorative, although a few cover screw heads.
Proud joinery. The chunky finger joints on the plinth are seen in quite a few G&G pieces.
Cloud lift lines. There's a design element on the bottom rail called a cloud lift. You see that all the time in G&G furniture and it gives the piece a certain lightness. The inside stiles echo that shape, although in a vertical aspect.
Use of mahogany. The Greene brothers didn't exclusively use mahogany, but they did use it extensively.

Finished with Osmo PolyX on the base and General Finishes Arm-R-Seal on the lid, where I expect more abuse.

Design based on plans in the April 2024 issue of Popular Woodworking."
