25.01.2022 Will Matthysen: apartheid lost a son, but the world gained a Clock Maker. https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-cw54p-d6b26f Will Matthysen is a Clock Maker and was once an architect working for Norman Foster in the UK and Hong Kong.... Will talks about growing up in South Africa during apartheid and a whole bunch of other interesting stuff. We do discuss some technical aspects of clocks like escapements, pendulums and gears, but there is a real attempt to make it understandable for everyone. The Revolution is always interested in discussing the Creative Process! Thanks Neil Thomason for audio assistance. Patreon is coming. Also soon (I hope) high quality, silk screened T-shirts - screened by hand of course! Any colour you like, so long as it's Black. Pre-orders for the T-Shirts are welcome. All proceeds will go towards better equipment and running the Revolution, so that the audio quality can be as good as it can be. The Revolution strives for excellence in all things!

22.01.2022 The Witness Tree Project is completely unpacked and dissected in this episode. Youll discover: What a Witness Tree is and why they matter,... Why outcomes from student projects are not all visual there are unseen benefits! Why its a good thing to create within limits or by using themes (like history) And a bunch of other stuff besides. Joining me on this adventure are Daniel Cavicchi Vice Provost and Professor of History, Philosophy and the Social Sciences at the Rhode Island School of Design, and Dale Broholm, Senior Critic, Department of Furniture Design, Rhode Island School of Design.

18.01.2022 The Designer Maker Revolution Podcast Presents:
17.01.2022 This amazing device make sound from light!!!! It is a photocell tube from a 16mm projector built in 1956. The sound portion of the film strip runs past the slot the photocell sits in and the output goes directly to the input of the amplifier. Just like the microphone input. I think it is ingenious. It precedes magnetic tape. #tubeamplifier #photocell #ingenious #designermakerrevolution #vacuumtube #filmosound #tava
16.01.2022 Man, I love old engineering. Trestle bridge, Gippsland Vic.
14.01.2022 Super technical boring post. Veneering on compound curves is out there and this vintage car dashboard required it. The veneer is palisander on beech ground. The car is a Mercedes Benz 280SE from the 60’s. Not mine!!!! #designermakerrevolution #mercedes280se #carrestore #veneering #dashboardveneer #palisander #wood #veneers #difficult #dashboardrestoration @ Adelaide city centre

04.01.2022 David Haig is the sweetest soul in the universe. He has been a designer maker of wood furniture for decades in New Zealand and has also taught around the world. His chairs are gorgeous! Look for them on his website, but pictures don't do them justice - try if you can to touch and sit in one because its an experience! David grew up in Malaya (now Malaysia) but spent his formative years in Britain. We discuss: the benefits of a history Degree from Oxford when being a craftsma...n is going to be your profession, the joys of working with your hands, chairs as an engineering art-form, and, of course, we discuss at length David's design and creative process This podcast investigates how creative people tick, David and I get some of the way down that philosophical road in Part 1. Part 2 goes a lot further so stay tuned for that conversation -coming soon. Articulate conversations describing the creative process are as rare as hens teeth, so listen up! The Revolution is always interested in discussing the Creative Process! Neil Thomason has helped me massively with the audio quality. Thanks Neil. Patreon is coming. Also soon (I hope) high quality, silk screened T-shirts - screened by hand of course! Any colour you like, so long as it's Black. Pre-orders for the T-Shirts are welcome.
