Bob Clagett

Bob Clagett describes himself as a life long maker. “As a kid, I built everything in my head, with cardboard, Legos or whatever I could find. It doesn’t matter what the material is, or what it’s for… I love making stuff.  I love showing other people how I work, hopefully to inspire and empower them to make whatever it is that they’re passionate about.” He has worked on arcade machines, shop projects, and a Tron-inspired slab coffee table among other things.
