Hi Yes! I'm at the 2014 Mini Maker Faire here in Sydney Back yet again it's at the Awesome Power House Museum here and they're setting up behind me. sorry it's a bit dark I Turned on the main lights yet? but anyway I'm we're busy setting up. it's still early in the morning here. Doors open at 10 a.m.

so I might show you some mark behind the scenes stuff as well. It's gonna be a great show. Let's have a look and there you go. That's dedication to get into the Maker Faire for you.

they're lined up in the rain. it's it. Might have actually just stopped today, but yeah it was pretty miserable this morning. it was bucketing down and yeah they're very brave, very keen.

They can't wait to get in yet their mind up way out the door there and they can't wait to get in. And no this is not open in time. this is a later in the afternoon so everyone's turned out and we got ourselves a nice racing car hanging from the roof there. and as you walk into the powerhouse that there's a fantastic train.

I Love it And there's some of the exhibitors right down there. sorry did you say surrender? Yes by the time is there our they're having Fanta doll and look who I found saying it. Yeah you want to see a train set and there's a familiar face now. confide on his homemade Segway it's futile in your wife facing sounds already the top down.

Maybe I'll just keep drilling function about the circuit bending this part Reed Ghazala You think this what making the city in we found using these miracle Audrina's from a desert and LED strips which imitate water sloshing around. Get up and go away. make sure you can manufacture of. Oh well, it's over the Mini Maker Faire for 2014 over two days.

This time it was much better than the one day that we had before. It just wasn't enough time to well, especially for someone like me to see stuff and talk to everyone. Probably okay for your average public to come from one day, but geez. I needed to let me tell you got a ton of footage.

A lot of footage. Ender some talks I shot will be over on the eevblog too, so click down below you'll be able to watch. Check out that footage and it's all over. That's very sad.

Oh well. it was great fun though. It was packed. absolutely packed today.

There were lines going outside, it was in the rain and was awful weather here in Sydney probably one of the reasons why there are so many people here today. I'm not sure how many people would just like general public walking in, but apparently this one was bigger than last time in terms of art numbers, so that's terrific. And hopefully I'll keep on doing the Mini Maker Faire because it's fantastic. Whatever.

at least a powerhouse museum here turned into a full Maker Faire It's just not big enough to do that, but yeah, maybe in the future. a different venue. but I Love that Powerhouse Museum. It's just awesome.

It really is spread over four different levels here. Once again, it was very easy to miss stuff if you didn't follow the map and knew where everything was. But I Had a wonderful time and yeah, I hope you enjoyed the coverage of the 2014. Mini Maker Faire Catch you next time you you.
