Makers,
One thing I know, Process Videos are King!
What do I mean?
There are always people wanting to learn about stuff, and popping a short video about something specific on YouTube is a great way to generate lots of random views.
Views for Art videos, or generic Makerspace videos get a certain kind of views. Someone has to find that or know about it to be able to see it. Those are totally valuable and necessary, because when someone wants to know about us specifically, like if they want to be a member, they need to see these kinds of things.
HOWEVER
If you post something like what Royce and Tom did, there are probably hundreds of thousands of people in the world who want to know about that specific thing, and might want to search it. The more Milwaukee Makerspace pops up, the more we as a group gain street cred in not just the 'maker' scene, but in the whole scene of 'getting stuff done'.
So what am I proposing? Every one of us at the space has little things we do on a daily basis which we take for granted, but someone else would love to see how we do it. Think about things that you are doing, especially those things that took a little trial and error to get right, and let's make a list. Then we'll shoot short simple videos of them, and get them up on the web. (FAST)
As an example, I shot a video of my dad carving a turkey last year, and it got 3000 hits in three days. Freaked him out. ;)
So, what are some things you can demonstrate? THEY CAN BE REALLY SPECIFIC! How to set up a specific motor controller or how to tweak a specific welder to do something. Especially if these are things that you have overcome, someone else is going through that problem right now and could really use your help!
Start making the list!
Thanks,
David

About the only thing I can think to add would be created exploded
diagrams using Blender.
It involves actually constructing the part in 3D the same way you
would in the real world. It's marvelously effective and allows you to
spot problems well in advance.

I suppose I could cover "stacking layers" in order to create
architectural interest in a piece of furniture...it's how I built the
column capitals and bases.
The technique is simple and can be used all over the place plus, it
requires very little artistic skill to achieve a nice result.
