As I was reading the article, I stopped to consider the idea of back-sourcing and the concept of making things instead of just buying them. This resonates with me since I am a knife maker and I work on my own cars. When I make knives, I don't outsource anything to anyone. I start with raw material and spend time forging it into something useful. The same goes with cars, except I don't build the car, haha, but the skill I have going under the hood, that's all me, I am not outsourcing that skill or depending on someone, which I am very proud of. The joy I get from creating a blade of my own and fixing a car myself far exceeds just buying a knife or getting someone to finish my project car.
Looking through the videos on rope making and braiding, that looks hard. I am very much a handyman, but I barely have experience in knitting. It will be a fun first-time experience with a lot of failing and struggling.
Below are some of my projects!
