Craftsman MAKEcation — Full tilt boogie tool-a-palooza

The Craftsman MAKEcation is a full-tilt-boogie tool-a-pa-looza and you could win a trip for free. For tool nuts, this is brain thunder. The MAKEcation is a high pressure system of get-it-done-ness and back stage access to rippin’ DIY that will make you freak out.

Before you check out my interviews from the sawdust-covered ground at the Craftsman MAKEcation with Rob Riggle and  Rob North, sign up to win your free trip to the Brooklyn, NY Craftsman MAKEcation here from now to July 31, 2015.

I’ll wait. It’s worth it…

For more ‘make’ dive into the Craftsman Club to meet more makers and talk tools, projects and kick-butt DIY. While there’s always a light switch to repair or drywall to patch, sometimes you just want to get nuts with a cool man cave project or make a gift for your love—I love opening Santa’s workshop early. Tweak your brain’s creative ganglia at the Club and see what you and your tools can bring to life.

OK, enough chatter. Riggle, North and more.

Now ENTER dammit. We want to meet you there and build stuff!

Here it is: Rob Riggle. I start by offending him. No, really. I’m in rare form.

And Craftsman’s own resident tool guy Rob North, the star of an upcoming DIY-style TV show, peeled back his passion not just for home, but for the bigger picture of tools being the stuff of what I call ‘the better life project.

By the way, having been to MAKEcation, I’m happy saying that if you win, you’ll look back from Craftsman MAKEcation and the pile of sawdust, fun and new friends and say to yourself: That was the best damn form I’ve ever filled out in my life.

Here are more details if you’re a detailed top-to-bottom reader.

Enter for a chance to win a fully paid three-day trip to Craftsman MAKEcation 2015 September 24-27, where a lucky few will take it to the next level. Your ultimate DIY weekend will include:

• • Hands-On Skills Workshops
• • Interactive Master Sessions
• • Innovation Sneak Peeks
• • Access to Maker Faire New York
