Engineering Support
for Makers
Philosophy
As makers, woodworkers, crafters, and tinkerers, we are usually a team of one figuring it out in our home shops. Most of us learn via our favorite YouTube channels, books, and experimentation. Rarely do we have formal degrees or training behind all the things we want to try. And should we? Probably not. But it could help.
At Cascade Create, we’re bringing the unique benefits of 15 years of professional engineering experience available to the maker community. Our hope is to enhance your content, free up more of your time, and help you cross over into other spaces.
Above all, we love this community. We are consumers of your content. We’ve liked and subscribed, and now we’d like to help.
