EP 105: Turning Trash Into Treasure For Scrapfest with Jonny Snider (Jonny S Weld LLC)

In this week’s episode, Beau sits down with Jonny Snider owner and operator of Jonny S Weld LLC to talk about Scrapfest. Scrapfest is a festival where artists are invited to make sculptures out of recycled materials that are sourced from the scrap yard in Lansing, MI. He talks about his experience participating in the festival last year solo and plans for returning as a team with Mike Beaver this year. He shares what the rules of the festival are with the material collection and parameters, what happens to the art after the festival, and what it is like on the collection day for getting your material. He also talks about starting his company out of necessity after a welding job fell through and the tools he has used to grow his business.  Find Jonny on Instagram @jonnysweld Or head on over to his website https://www.jonnysweld.com/links To find out more information about Scrapfest check out their website https://scrapfest.com/ Thank you to all of our sponsors Check out all the amazing programs that they have at ArcLabs by visiting https://www.arclabs.edu/ Get 10% off Outlaw Leather USA with our special promo code WELD10 at checkout https://outlawleather.com/ For more information on Lincoln Electric's 210 MP head over to www.lincolnelectric.com Want to be on the show or have a topic you would like to hear about?
