Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World by Mark Frauenfelder
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I picked this book up while I was at a conference in Ottawa; I had brought along a reel of wire and needlenose pliers to work on a project from a recent issue of Make magazine, so the appeal was obvious. I enjoyed reading this book plenty; it made me want to pick up things I'd once dabbled in (like whittling) and maybe even some things that I'm hardly likely to enjoy (making kombucha, for example). I didn't find this book life-changing or full of new information; for me, it was cozy. Mark Frauenfelder sounds a lot like my dad, except that my mom would never have let us keep chickens, and my dad is by and large more interested in more practical projects.
