    Another question: Would you consider coming back for the occasional "guest appearance"? (every week )

    Can´t wait for that stream to happen. Here is my question: "Is there any project you wanted to do , but never had the chance to? Are some ideas still on the bucket list?"

    Ben Heck Crew, What is each of your favorite materials to work with? Is there a particular material that you would have to work with in a build and be like... "Here's the fun part!" I know Ben is keen…

    What's your best advice for getting started making things?  Which tools should a person buy?  Or is the best bet to find their local makerspace/hackerspace and join as a member there and use their tools?

    Ben,

     

    How much of the equipment in the show is yours (that you'll be taking away with you - compared to what will stay when you leave)?   Did you buy the equipment out of necessity or just because you wanted to?   Are you doing any more guest appearances anywhere (like you did on The Screensavers?)   Are you working on any more consumer products - maybe you could quickly comment on UL, CE certs...

     

    Thanks - a fellow EE!

     

    Felix:  What are you life time goals?  I know you're edu-macating...

     

    Karen:  What was your previous job?

     

    Max:  Any cool film projects we can check out?

    What skills have you acquired since starting TBHS? I have to say that I got more confidence in my own electronic projects through watching the show.

     

    Thanks

    Is there a piece of technology that is hard to find that you would love to take apart or re-engineer?
