In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (“Dirty Money,” “Hammered,” “Against the Grain,” “Trash for Cash”) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy turns some birch branch slices into a table.

This is going to be big. Tomorrow, Nov. 15, MAKE’s editors will be hosting a live Google+ hangout on air at 6pm PST/9pm EST to mark the publication our Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing. We’ll be joined by several 3D printing experts who helped us put 15 of the industry’s top 3D printers through rigorous side-by-sided tests. At the same time, and in the same room, we’ll be hosting a 3D printing themed meetup in MAKE’s Sebastopol, Calif. office as part of our first International Meetup. While that is going on we’ll be joined by 120 (and counting) meetups from around the world
