We meet “Steamboat Ed” at this year’s Maker Faire Bay Area, a veteren machinist who has taken to designing shop tools that anyone can 3D print! From a simple drill press to die filers and alignment clamps, Ed’s enthusiasm for making shop tools accessible is infectious! Plus, he shares with us his modular motorised rowboat project made using his printed tools.

I like those clamps, especially.

    That drill press is really cool, and so is the file thing. I might have to look into both of those at somepoint
