Welcome to our new feature, Meet the Maker! Learn a little more about us, who we are and what we’re doing… today’s member, Hugh Pyle:
|
What’cha working on at the moment? |
|
I have an ongoing project using a ~1970 Teletype mechanical computer terminal to make ASCII art, paper-tape decorative designs, and whatever else seems fun. Latest thing is using the laser-cutter to etch vintage minicomputer punchtape programs onto subway tile. |
|
What are your plans for future projects? |
|
Trying more materials and different projects with the laser cutter. And the new CNC is really exciting. Also I need to make time to build a tube guitar amp… |
|
What’s your favorite thing about working at The Brickyard? |
|
Finding other people who all have really amazing projects and deep skills… and knowing that we can practically make almost anything. Metal, wood, print, electronics… the sky’s the limit. |
|
What’s the most unexpected thing about working at The Brickyard? |
|
The depth of people’s experience is just amazing. There’s so much to learn. |
|
What would you say to people interested in joining? |

|
Tell us a little about your background. |
|
I’ve been hacking around with computers and electronics since I was a teenager. Arduino and Teensy and Raspberry Pi are all lots of fun. |
|
Got anything else to add? |
