Alex Jordan may spend his nine-to-five building animatronics and puppets for places like Universal and Disney, but that’s just the beginning of his welding story. After hours, Alex runs his own job shop, dives into 3D printing as a fabrication tool, and shares his knowledge through YouTube and social media. In this episode, we talk about how 3D printers can transform a weld shop, the craftsmanship behind theme park projects like Raptors and parade floats, and how Alex turned a simple county fair project into a 15-year career. We also get into his custom electric pit bike builds, the importance of teaching what you know, and how community events like maker gift exchanges are fueling the next generation of creators. This conversation is full of innovation, hustle, and inspiration — don’t miss it!
