2024 was my second year at Makercamp and again, it did not disappoint.  It was a great time, I got to see blacksmiths, carpenters, printers, fabricators, photographers, YouTubers, and makers that I know as well as meet a bunch of new folks.  I bought a few things, made a coffee scoop, riveted together a fish spatula, fixed an electrical issue on a resort-owned golf cart, snagged a few freebies, had my picture taken by the amazing Mark Adams, checked out some tooling that I would like to buy from Coal Iron Works, snagged some letterpress prints for my shop wall.  Drank a little too much one night, roasted marshmallows, danced a little, did not do any Karaoke, ate fantastic food, and drove around the Catskills on my final day there before flying to a series of off-site meetings for my day J-O-B.  

I want to do it next year with my wife and daughter (We will be Karaokeing!).  The rooms at the Blackthorn are rustic and that is being generous, so, I would love to rent an RV for the weekend and make a long trip of it!  My two ladies will be more comfortable that way.
