Maker Break

Maker Break

Hey all!

We're Rob and Sarah. We believe Making things cures the soul. It also makes a HUGE mess, and who doesn't love that? Every week we meet in the Maker Break workshop to build something new while keeping all 20 of their fingers intact. We spend all week watching Maker videos from around the world for inspiration, and every Friday we share our project with you!

Our passion is fueled not by the projects we build, but by the MAKER COMMUNITY that never fails to support each other. That's why every 2 weeks we interview a new friend in "Meet a Maker". If you're an online Maker and would like to be interviewed, reach out!

We watch a TON of Maker Videos each week, and Sarah shares her favorites in Sarah's Top 5 DIY! You'll find a new episode here every two weeks.

That Maker Break Channel is produced by the creative tool team at Belts and Boxes.

    Or, if you want to eat most of what you trim, run your straight shaft trimmer LEFT HANDED!😆

    Some people like the debris going in the bed to help feed the bed... in 2 days it will blend in anyways, people this picky about their yards deserve to do it themselves because its not like they are paying a premium for the extra anyways...

    that's why I painted directional arrows on my trimmer to know which way the off fall was being thrown - either towards or away from the operator

    That only works if you are standing on the lawn. If you are standing on the sidewalk, you need to go left to right. Otherwise your mess will be on the sidewalk.
