Debbie Chachra wrote a thoughtful piece over at the Atlantic concerning the somewhat troublesome term "maker" and why creation is valued over maintenance.
Does the world really need more stuff? Cooking is great: every day one gets to be involved in a project, developing skills and a repertoire over the years. I see my woodworking as a similar endeavor: I hope to develop the skills to be able to, when needed, produce an item that fulfills a needed function with the resources at hand. Isn't that really what "making" is all about?
