Send us a textJared Geddes is a Boeing engineer by day and a YouTube woodworker by night. He has been a manufacturing engineer and a mechanical engineer and loves a good design. He uses his engineering background to design and build wooden furniture, structures, and toys which he shares on his YouTube channel (The Evening Woodworker).In this episode, we’ll discuss his woodworking creations, and how he monetizes his woodworking hobby through his YouTube channel. He shares with us how he managed to sell his woodworking CAD models and drawings through his website, and even how he automated the process so that all he has to do is collect payments (pretty clever). We also discuss humanitarian engineering, how to get started into woodworking. The Evening WoodworkerJared GeddesRafael Testai, Cohost ABOUT BEING AN ENGINEERThe Being an Engineer podcast is a repository for industry knowledge and a tool through which engineers learn about and connect with relevant companies, technologies, people resources, and opportunities.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered how medical robots work? Join us in this interview with medical device roboticist Axel Krieger to learn how his team developed a fully autonomous robot that has been shown to produce surgical results superior to those produced by human surgeons. Axel is an assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University where he leads a team of students, scientists, and engineers in the research and development of robotic tools and laparoscopic devices. A few of the projects he has led include the development of a surgical robot called the smart tissue autonomous robot (or STAR for short) and using 3D printing for surgical planning and patient specific implants. https://imerse.lcsr.jhu.edu/Aaron Moncur, host ABOUT BEING AN ENGINEERThe Being an Engineer podcast is a repository for industry knowledge and a tool through which engineers learn about and connect with relevant companies, technologies, people resources, and opportunities.
