Made By Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World by Mark Frauenfelder


Do you find yourself feeling “disconnected” from your world? Why not try
a do-it-yourself (DIY) project? Make something by hand. In his book Made
by Hand, Mark Frauenfelder tells about various ways he tried to “do it
himself” including raising chickens, growing his own food, crafting a
guitar, and even keeping bees. For me, learning from his experiences in
these things has inspired me to do my own DIY projects. There’s
something very satisfying to have completed something that you created
on your own. I can’t wait to get started. Read this book as a companion
to to Shop Class as Soul craft by Matthew Crawford and you’ll find
 meaning in your manual labors.
