About Me

​

Hello! My name is David Strout and I love to make things. I am a passionate maker, and have always enjoyed the creativity, utility, and beauty that building my own things can provide. There is something incredibly tactile and satisfying about working with my hands, whether I'm making a table, CNC sculpture, 3D printed component, or lasercut model.

​

My fascination with making began in 2011 when I took an interest in turning wooden pens in my father's woodshop. Soon, I became more drawn to the shop as I learned of the endless possibilities that the space offered. I spent a good portion of my free time watching videos of  woodworkers and other makers, gaining new knowledge and building a reservoir of project ideas. Much of my skill is self-taught, and I am always finding new ways to grow as a craftsman.

​

I now manage the Georgetown University Maker Hub where I assist students, faculty, and staff with a variety of making projects. I've now expanded my making craft to 3D printing, laser cutting, sewing, embroidery, bookbinding, printmaking, and small electronics.
