Godfather of Woodworking, Izzy Swan

Maker Lounge Podcast

Today, I have a very special guest. He’s a maker, Youtuber, Ameteur Engineer, Artist, and Master of Jig-O-Nometry. I know this because it says so in his bio. If you say his name backwards, it’s the same as it is forward. I’m talking about the Godfather of invention. Izzy Swan.

Izzy Swan is known for his knack for inventing and innovating existing products to be more functional. He has grown his YouTube presence to over 875k subscribers, has a tremendous Instagram presence, and has networked his way to do business with various companies to outsource and sell his ideas. Most recently, Izzy sold his X-Clamp system to Woodpeckers who now produces the product, getting the product into more hands through their marketing channels. Many of Izzy's products can be found in stores throughout the US, including Taylor Toolworks.

Chatting with Izzy was a true joy for me. I have had the chance to get to know Izzy over the last year and he is always genuine and selfless with his time and knowledge. It must also be said that Maggie, who was beside him throughout the podcast, is also quite literally by his side throughout all of his endeavors; she is a true gem of a woman.
