|
|
The third season of Making It starts this week! You can watch the first episode Thursday, June 24th on your local NBC affiliate or via the Peacock streaming service.
We're excited to report that you might catch a glimpse of a ShopBot Desktop MAX out in the wood shop during this season. You might even recognize the guy helping the participants use it, Jimmy DiResta. He's back as Wood Shop Master for the show. Keep your eyes out for both as the new season gets underway!
About the show:
From executive producers and Emmy Award-nominated hosts Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, “Making It” returns for a third season, reuniting two of pop culture’s biggest BFFs and celebrating the creativity and craftiness in all of us. This season highlights how making things brings together communities, friends, neighbors and families, and serves as a reminder of the importance of positivity and imagination, which is needed now more than ever. Some of the most talented makers from across the country will take on a variety of handmade projects with the hopes of impressing Poehler, Offerman and the judges – trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson and creative visionary/author Simon Doonan. Jimmy DiResta returns as the Wood Shop Master.

In the May eNews we introduced you to something called the "Rib Design" that we've been working on with the team at Stylz and world-renowned designer Igor Knezevic. Stylz is now able to provide ShopBot customers with three different variants of the design to download that are optimized for machining with a ShopBot CNC.
The three design variants include the rib dining chair, rib lounge chair, and rib table. They were built to leverage the full extent of a ShopBot tool and offer a glimpse into the future of localized, smart manufacturing. Each design download comes with multiple file types and include .dwg and VCarve files, as well as building instructions to better enhance the making experience. When you sign up at Stylz and enter SHOPBOT in the organization section, you will receive a limited 70% off discount code exclusive to ShopBot customers on all three of these Igor Knezevik designs.
