But I loved the clip. Couldn't find any programs on the tele from MAKE. Are we talking about a weekly show on PBS? That still looks like he’s smoking a pipe through his nose…

What the segment said to me was; here is a selection of tools to do this task and the BEST tool is the most expensive and least accessible. Yes, places like tech shop and club workshop improve accessibility, but they are not yet wide spread. This and my previous comment is aimed only at the "Nibbler" segment and not at Make or the maker movement. You are trying to reach a larger audience through TV and this is the message I got from the segment. @PT-What draws me to the maker movement is the concept of accessibility.

I do hang out in makerland, I'm a fan of all things Make, I was even a presenting maker at the 06 MakerFaire. I was just offering up my $.02 on the segment. I thought that was why it got put up. So, what is Mr. Gurstelle doing with his nose? @PT- Sure. I do hang out in makerland, I’m a fan of all things Make, I was even a presenting maker at the 06 MakerFaire.
