Hello and welcome to the first episode of Making It, a podcast about making things with our bare hands

hosted by Jimmy Dearesta,esta Bob Klagget and myself David

Petrudo. Since this is our first episode we're going to go around the table and

introduce ourselves and talk about what we do. So let's start with Jimmy

diResta. Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Jimmy DeResta and I make things for living and actually I have been making things my entire life ever since I was in elementary school for pay and so it's it's pretty interesting

now that I'm 47 years old I look back and I realize it's all I've ever done is

make things with my hands for pay.

And right now I'm working with a lot of different clients, mostly branding clients.

I'm doing a lot of branding for the liquor business and that involves making signage and displays and actually I might make

a woody trailer. Do you guys have to see these little coffee bean trailers? Oh that, kidney bean

trailers? There's a kidney bean trailer?

Like you pull behind a car and you sleep in it?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Like the classic work on ones, I've just been, I might, I'm developing this particular job,

I might actually make two of those, but the problem is where will I make them? I don't have enough room, so. But I make all kinds of stuff for all kinds of people. That's what I do.

Cool. All right, Bob.

Well, I'm a programmer by trade, so I've been doing web development and programming for, I don't know,

15, 16 years now.

So I do that, you know, it's my day job.

And then after hours or at lunchtime, I make stuff

and just make all sorts of things.
