Clint Harp And Dremel Unite Forces On A Mission To Make

"I want to inspire people to try something new, to tackle an idea they've seen or to dream up something new entirely and share it with the world," said Harp. "There's no doubt we're seeing a renaissance. People are getting back to their roots and working with their hands to create."  

Dremel, which offers a full line of versatile, easy-to-use tool systems, announced its Mission to Make at the Haven Conference, a DIY and home blogging event in Atlanta this weekend. The brand acknowledges the Maker Movement is much larger than one brand or person.

"For the past 85 years, Dremel has been empowering creativity," said John Kavanagh, president of Dremel. "We believe that making brings people together – inventors, artists, hackers, hobbyists. With today's technology and the ability to share what you're making in real-time and across the globe, we're inspired by the ingenious creativity amongst Makers. Our Mission to Make shines a light on all that's happening and we hope it inspires future Makers, both young and old."

Beyond the launch of Mission to Make, Harp will encourage the movement through a series of social posts and additional cross-promotion with the Dremel brand. Dremel is the first tool company the celebrity woodworker has partnered with since his projects like attention-grabbing tables and elaborate doors began gracing the airwaves a few short years ago.

"Dremel believes anyone can be a Maker, and when I look at the world, all I see is possibility," said Harp. "We can all wake up and do that thing that seems impossible. We can try. It's not about the project. It's about so much more."

Additionally, the Dremel brand is partnering with three other Makers: Jamison Rantz of the Rogue Engineer, Amy Bell of the Positively Splendid and Amy Stringer-Mowat of American Heirloom. These Makers of varying skillsets and passions will tackle several missions throughout the 2017 calendar year with some of the brand's products including the Dremel 4300, the Hatch Project Kit and the Dremel 3D40.  

Since 1932, Dremel has powered Makers by producing ingenious tools, applications and accessories to meet their ever-evolving needs. To track the Dremel brand's Mission to Make, use the hashtag #MissiontoMake or follow the Dremel brand's social properties via Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
