MWA Special #2 - Dyami on MakerCast

A few weeks ago Jon Berard was kind enough to interview +Dyami Plotke for his MakerCast podcast.

MakerCast is a podcast that seeks out makers of things and celebrates their uniqueness, skill-set and drive. If you've not listened and subscribed to MakerCast, you should. Jon has talented woodworkers and other makers on as guests. He has chatted with people such as +Kyle Toth and Carley Eisenberg, two of many makers who are more talented than Dyami.
