CLAMP
by Creating, Living And Making Projects Podcast
Your hosts, Adam Mackey, Grant Alexander and Jessy Ratfink delve into all the aspects of the maker life. Whether it's woodworking, leatherworking, digital fabrication or even just how to get the creative juices flowing, we chat about it on the show. So, join us every week while we talk about creating, living and making (and potentially too many puns about clamps).

Ask Us Anything question:
- "How often do you allow yourself time to sit quietly and remember the broad plan? We get so bogged down with making the next decision or dealing with the barriers to making, that we might not revisit the overall schema it fits in. The ultimate goal. Becoming world renowned for expertise; turning it into a business; raising kids that aren't fuckwits, making it to retirement. It's worth remembering your framework within which every smaller thing fits. So how often do you get to? Do you make time for it?" - @warrenmatten
