In Why Gunsmithing (And Why Not?) I said,
I’ve always wanted to do something with my hands. To directly create something, and be able to step back from it and say, “my hands created that.” I credit this with a construction job I briefly held as a teenager. The work was horribly taxing, but in the end the whole crew could step back and look at what we made. Then we cleaned up and left. Glory, however short-lived. One giant deck on the Chesapeake Bay in particular really comes to mind.
Chrissy, who recently acquired a sewing machine, followed an Instructable and made the “Fastest Recycled T-shirt Tote Bag.” It’s very exciting!
I’m a maker of stuff!!
