Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual Bay Area event with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Rome, Oslo, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of "featured" 2014 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and almost 100 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world, including right here in Portland.

In electronics lab work there are sometimes non-standard connectors that can easily be lathe fabricated for bench experiments. Unlike gear work here accuracy to several thousandths of an inch and to the nearest degree are fine so no need for index heads or spin jigs. Three custom items are needed:
First, a toolpost mount for a Dremel or similar that drives the slotting saw. Has to be set up carefully with precision bars and centers as references to get the blade parallel and centered in relation to the turning axis.
Second, a custom turned circular protractor mounting arbor that loose press fits into the far left end of the lathe spindle. Use a magnetic mount or similar to temporarily hold a pointer near the edge of the protractor scale, which can simply be office supply grade plastic. I'm using a military surplus knob that has a skirt marked out in degree increments.
Third, a carriage stop or even better a carriage position indicating dial indicator to allow you to achieve constant slot depth for all cuts. For my lathe I have a movable mount block that clamps anywhere along the front ways and mounts either a dial indicator or a 3/8 steel bar as an adjusting carriage stop.
After finish turning the brass contact, set up for slotting and run at medium to high Dremel speed. The saw will be going thru soft brass like butter and making fine powder chips. With next to no disturbing torque on the lathe spindle, you can hand advance the spindle angle to each desired target and make each of your uniform depth cuts just using spindle friction and inertial mass to hold setting. When you are done there may be a degree or so of angular error but you will not be able to see it.
The Fifth Annual Columbia Mini Maker Faire, an all-ages festival of DIY tech enthusiasts, crafters, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers and artists, was be held from at EdVenture on Saturday, April 29, 2017. This fantastic show and (tell) gave local “makers” an opportunity to share their talent and inspire others to explore their inner inventor.
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, the Columbia Mini Maker Faire is a localized version of the national Maker Faire which host 90,000 visitors in San Mateo each year.
Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.
All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. This collar is hidden in the pocket that is made out of a crocheted tablecloth.
There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk
Maker Faire 2017 was bigger, louder and hotter than previous years. Many of the attractions were still the same, but they felt more grown up. I particularly enjoyed the illuminated art in the Dark Room, such as Peter Hudson’s 3D Stroboscopic Zoetrope. I also enjoyed all the ingenious robot exhbits and the Traveling Spectacular’s vaudeville performance
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes on Sunday morning. We teach children to create magical worlds together, combining art, tech and storytelling. Our students get really engaged in the process, which helps them develop their creative, problem-solving and social skills.
The presentation was well received by a great group of teachers, parents and kids. I connected with several librarians and teachers interested in teaching Maker Art in their communities. And one mom reached out to me afterwards to say this was the best talk she heard this year.
Maker Faire remains the Mecca for Bay Area DIY hobbyists and it was well worth the trip for me. I made some good connections after my talk and learned more about robots for our next classes. Onwards!
