“[T]he American romance with making actual things is going through a resurgence. In recent years, a nationwide movement of do-it-yourself aficionados has embraced the self-made object. Within this group is a quixotic band of soldering, laser-cutting, software-programming types who, defying all economic logic, contend that they can reverse America’s manufacturing slump. America will make things again, they say, because Americans will make things — not just in factories but also in their own homes, and not because it’s artisanal or faddish but because it’s easier, better for the environment and more fun.”
The Kitchen-Table Industrialists – excellent NYT primer on the maker movement. Mentions American Maker, the fascinating 1961 short film of a manifesto for hands-on creativity. (via curiositycounts)
