DIY is a direct reflection of our basic human desire to invent and improve, long suppressed by the availability of cheap, mass-produced products that have drowned us in bland convenience and cultivated our most wasteful habits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrauenfelder spent a year trying a variety of offbeat projects, such as keeping chickens and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen science with his daughters in the garage. His whole family found that DIY helped them take control of their lives; by working with their hands and minds, they came to feel more engaged with the world around them. Beginning his journey with hands as smooth as those of a typical geek, Frauenfelder offers a unique perspective on how earning a few calluses can be more rewarding than another trip to the mall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Made by Hand is a wonderful, thought-provoking, and timely book that shows us why we need to take back control of our lives. Now if only Mark Frauenfelder would put out a handwritten version on paper he made from trees he chopped down himself...\" —A. J.
