Self-described BMX kid and hack carpenter David Gagné uses his vivid imagination and colorful background to build all kinds of unique creations. As a fan of punk rock from a blue-collar family, David’s passion for making came from day jobs as a bicycle mechanic and construction laborer. Today, David has a “bicycle graveyard” behind his home and a collection of upcycled projects made from old bicycle parts and a growing YouTube channel, Elm City Vintage. Join us as we talk to David about - A passion for photography that fizzled when it became a job
- The punk rock DIY ethic and its similarity to the Maker mindset
- Learning to make things from readily available junk bicycle parts
- Diving into new things head first and figuring things out as you go
- Learning to crawl before you can walk
- Making YouTube videos that stand out
