Hello, this is Tony Hughes for Hacker Public Radio with the fifth and final in my series
|
|
of interviews at Liverpool Make First 2017 held on the 24th of June this year.
|
|
Enjoy the final interviews, thank you.
|
|
So this is Tony Hughes for Hacker Public Radio, still at Liverpool Make First and I've
|
|
got with me.
|
|
Diane Tacktack.
|
|
And what's your story about today, Diane?
|
|
Well we are Melt 3D and we design, well we're all about 3D printing.
|
|
So we run workshops teaching people how to use 3D printers, how to get the best so it's
|
|
not just printing models, it's how to get the best out of them, how to print things
|
|
that you can use for casting, investment casting, we do design of components so we help people
|
|
design their own components and 3D print them, we help people adapt existing models to
|
|
customise them to what they want.
|
|
And we run a lot of workshops from kids level off to college, university students and
|
|
we use 3D printing as an educational tool.
|
|
Thank you very much, that was a very comprehensive explanation about what you do.
|
|
I think you've got a website that folks on the radio can find.
|
|
We do, it is melt-3d.co.uk.
|
|
Thank you very much, Diane.
|
|
Brilliant, thank you very much.
|
|
So this is Tony Hughes for Hacker Public Radio at Liverpool Make First and I'm here
|
|
with electric flapjack guitars and I've got the host here and he's going to introduce
|
|
himself.
|
|
My name is Michael, I build guitars as a hobby.
|
|
A year ago I had done woodwork since high school, which is a quarter of a century away
|
|
from me and through a process of starting simple and working up through different guitars
|
|
I've got to a point now where I'm building guitars from scratch entirely.
|
|
But the idea and the kind of thing I'm trying to tell people today is just start simple.
|
|
The first guitar I built, which I still play every day, I bought just kit parts and screwed
|
|
them together and just tweaked them slightly.
|
|
And then the second one I built the guitar body at Cambridge Make Space, which is a community
|
|
workshop, using their CNC router, using design I found on the internet and then kind of
|
|
built the body by rest of that by hand and I built, bought the neck and what have you.
|
|
And that guitar is now with my brother who's using it to record an album and it is just
|
|
incrementally, each time just add a little bit that's more difficult because otherwise
|
|
you'll put yourself off and kind of think it's impossible.
|
|
And yeah, that's how I got here.
|
|
So have you got your own website, Michael?
|
|
I don't.
|
|
If people are interested in seeing guitars being built, if they follow me at electric flapjack
|
|
on Instagram, I kind of post lots of work in progress kind of photos just to kind of show
|
|
how these things come together.
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
Lovely.
