All right, so I am joined by Paul Jackman. This is going to be an interview

edition of the Modern Maker Podcast. I'm in Washington DC right now for a YouTube event and Paul's in the area and so he and one of his giant nutcrackers which happens to be in the driver's seat of his car,

made their way over here.

So Paul, welcome.

Hey, thanks for coming to DC.

No, it was fine.

I just saw you at like Workbench Con,

and now it's like recoliding. Yeah, you came to me with stuff. So first things first, why is the

Nutcracker still in your car? To get me the carpool lane, pretty much.

Have you done that?

Like, because it doesn't really come apart, right?

It's all one linear six foot long piece.

Yeah, yeah, like the arms come off,

but the whole body is together.

So it's laying down in my passenger seat right now in the back of my car.

And that was the real reason I wanted to have you on is like, I want you to discuss what it's

like to own and drive a Honda element.

Yep. I find that like an oddly practical maker car that like people don't

and people so associate people like us with like trucks. But you're like rocking the Honda element, which I've always, when I've ever looked at it, like that kind of totally makes sense.

It's the perfect vehicle for everything. Like it's not, it's not really good at any particular thing but it's average at like

everything he gets a whole sheet of plywood in or you can like at an angle it doesn't

fit flat like a truck wide it's wide it's wide and boxing it's boxy yeah so you it in at like a 45 degree angle and you could fit a few sheets in there or I have a roof rack and if I get thicker sheets I'll slap them on the top but like 8 foot material will fit in if you like the nutcracker you put the passenger seat
