We are John and Cindy, a husband and wife team working to create solutions to problems. Some of those solutions are content, sharing a technique or idea. Some of those solutions are products which address a particular need. We have a long list of ideas we are working through, testing and developing and we have only just started.

 

Cindy is a three time Olympian with a lot of experience in fitness (obviously) and content creation. Camera work, video editing, you name it she gets involved and does an excellent job of clearly communicating the key concepts!

 

John is an engineer who has been doing DIY projects since he was old enough to hold the flashlight for his dad. With a broad career experience including to name just a few, construction, automotive engineering, 3D printing, and rapid product development, John has a broad skill set and experience to base solutions on.

 

Why Build Test Build?

 

Solving tough problems is an iterative effort. If you wait until you have a perfect design you will never build anything. Analysis paralysis prevents a lot of people from doing or building something they have always wanted to. (Don’t ask us how we know…) Furthermore, a lot of times once you get started you learn more about the problem and your design changes. The perfect design you imagined doesn’t solve the problem because the problem isn’t as simple as you thought, or the system works differently than you expected. The only way to learn that is through trying something, carefully observing the result and adjusting. This is true for large engineering projects, small Maker projects, and DIY home projects. Find the smallest piece of that project you can make progress on and learn, and get started. The paint color you think you want may not actually look good in your house, get samples and pick an out of the way spot to try those colors you think you want. You might be right the first time, or you might be relieved that you only bought a little and tried it before you bought 15 gallons to do the whole house.
