Tips and Tricks from the Workshop Podcast and the Maker Music Festival

 Join our friends today and tomorrow at the [Maker Music Festival]( celebrating the makers of innovative, experimental, and just plain unusual musical instruments. Explore the work of a thriving international community of music makers. New projects and presentations are launching on May 14th and 15th, 2022. Are you inspired to learn more or even make your music maker? These resources will help you along the way!   Podcast Alert  DIY lifer Gareth Branwyn has compiled a new volume of his series, [Tips and Tales of the Workshop, Volume 2](. He joins Dale Dougherty to talk about how he collects tips — asking a person directly to share a tip is not very productive. He shares some of his favorite tips he has found. He talks about the aspirational quality of tips, and how picking up an idea from someone can help us become better. Learn more about Frankenstein prototyping, that things aren’t perfect in the vaults of a Gothic Cathedral and that details layer one on top of another. The Maker Shed also has [The Gareth Branwyn Mega Borg Like Me Bundle]( with a signed authorcard and more.
