Ron Daniels rocked Monetizing the Making–massive thanks!

Massive thanks to Ron Daniels for his talk “The Organic Entrepreneur” at kwartzlab tonight in the Monetizing the Making series (‘cause it went well, so let’s call it a series).  You really went above and beyond for us Ron with a great slide deck and lots of solid insights and advice combining the technical and business aspects.

Shouts to my helpers too: Ben cleaned the kitchen, Don/Bevan/Paul/? moving tables, EdM/Darcy/Andrew for extra chairs, Darcy for working the door, Rob/Mark for A/V, JB for additional pics, ______ who I missed, and the whole crew that helped reassemble the room afterward.  Much appreciated, guys.

Oh *yeah*, we got to see Ron’s killer planes, too.

Ron’s most trusted helper, Joey.  Thank you, sir!

The planes are like artwork.

Good crowd.

These…

things…

look fast standing still.  This guy will do 80 mph.  Fast.

From top left: wheel covers, engine cowling, carbon fibre landing gear struts.  All accessories that Ron has sold with his kits.

This Hawker Tempest is really something to see in person.

These guys look right at home in the lab.

This frame is covered with a heat-shrunk mylar skin.

And the attention to detail…

is…

ama…

zing!

There was chatting too: Mr. Mackie and JB.

Visitor Kyle and Cedric.

I see Darcy at the door, Big John gesticulating, and Jon’s back.

Doors open to the public at kwartzlab, every Tuesday Open Night (TON), 7-10pm

This was a serious slide deck.

Ed Blanchard… as I live and breathe…

JB’s back, Ben, and Ian from Niche Decals, who rocked the Ignite Waterloo *and* TEDxWaterloo decals.  Great work and glad to meet you.

Mr. Eric Boyd and Jordie, all the way from the Big Smoke.  Hi guys.

Ron generously fielded a ton of questions from a very interested audience.

Hardest workin’ man at kwartzlab: Ben Brown.  Just sayin’.

Thanks for coming out for the talk.  If you liked it, tell two friends and drop a comment here for Ron.

Happy making,
