Learn about the 3 reasons I make things instead of just buying them. It is not because it saves money, it is good for the environment or I cannot find an equivalent item. It is all about the impact on my soul, my children, and my grandchildren.

With the advent of low-cost home appropriate 3d printers, woodworking equipment, and electronic components many items that used to require a factory for assembly can now be created at home. I create all kinds of things alone and with my children and grandchildren.

Want to start making stuff yourself. To get started just start watching free videos and then get started.
