Part 3/11:
Many makers trace their origins to childhood experiences. For instance, one individual recalls growing up in his grandfather's garage, surrounded by old tools and machine parts, where making was second nature. His early experiments with saws and woodworking, despite minor injuries, instilled a love for tangible creation. His favorite material has always been humble, inexpensive wood that carries a rustic charm, emphasizing the beauty of raw, imperfect materials.
Another maker found inspiration in architecture and art, exploring the creative process freely but often overwhelmed by technical calculations. Exposure to iconic artists like Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci revealed that art and invention are boundless realms of personal expression and problem-solving, free from rigid rules.
