Being an artist in residence at Instructables

I'm Samuel Bernier, known as Patenteux du Nord. I'm an industrial designer, a maker, a farmer, a traveler and a hard worker. I spent the last three weeks at Instructables as an "artist in residence". (I love this title). This pretty much means that I have access to all the tools, knowledge, materials and benefits the big yellow robot has in it's belly. 82 2nd street San Francisco is the adress of DIY heaven and here is my story :

 

Step 1 February 16th 2012

It took me 14 hours to get from Montreal to San Francisco, thanks to United Airlines, so I was a little bit jet-lagged when I got to Instructables. You wouldn't believe what I found behind this door...

Captions! Give those photos captions!

I recognise some of those folk, and other members won't know anybody.

Oh, and has Jayefuu developed a Californian accent yet?

[jessyratfink]

He definitely has not!

And all anybody needs to know is that the people above are awesome. :D Well, okay, maybe names would be nice.

[Jayefuu]

Golly gosh no.

[Kiteman]

Ha, you have never said "golly" in your life!
