New YouTube Drop! On this episode of Forged in FirstBuild, Collin Sage undertakes his most daring forge project yet. Using traditional Japanese sword making techniques, Collin crafts a Katana out of 640 layers of Damascus Steel. Collin’s expertise shines as he meticulously crafts the Katana’s handle and fights to maintain the structure of the sword’s blade. Link in bio ⚔️⚔️

Last Fall, Louisville’s Office of Civic Innovation and Technology asked FirstBuild for help developing device-charging stations that could be located near public Wi-Fi hotspots in the Russell Neighborhood. In true FirstBuild style, we tackled the challenge together. Back in February, engineers, makers, and community members brainstormed, iterated, and made potential designs during a Hackathon. Head over to our YouTube channel to follow the winning design - and know that we can’t wait until we’re all back together, making again! *video filmed pre-COVID19, link in bio

🙏🙏 Today we assembled 3,380 (!) face shields (video link in bio). Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the effort to make protective gear for healthcare workers! We are so grateful to be supported by the maker community and spirit of innovation.
Join in on the effort to 3D print headbands and drop-off outside of FirstBuild at 333 E. Brandeis Ave. This genuinely makes a difference in the fight against COVID-19!

Join in on the effort to 3D print parts for face shields!
Makers with a home 3D printer can help produce headbands from the @josefprusa designed template (see link in bio). When finished, drop headbands inside the box (outside of) FirstBuild at 333 E. Brandeis Ave. They will be processed @universityoflouisville and distributed to healthcare workers all over the region.
Due to heavy demand, they are going out as quickly as we make them. Help spread the word! ❤️
