Making Things

I like making things and I like using things others have made.

How are things designed? How are things made?

Many good things are made with the user in mind…done with beauty, usability and ease of use and ease of repair. Therefore, what is designed and made should be made with the customer/user in mind, not just ease and profit in the making.

Good service, good product will always bring in good customers who will pay more for the better product.

Many times we’ve become accustomed to how things look at the expense of how they work or how long they’ll last. Do we want to spend our money on poor quality items based merely on how they look, that will soon need to be replaced, or pay more for well-designed good quality that will last?

I realize some items we won’t want to pay more for, but why not consider supporting makers of good quality rather than short term throwaways?

It’s Not Perfect!

Progress is not perfect. It’s progress.

A progression towards our envisioned ideal. Any step forward is in the right direction.

If everything was perfect, there’d be nothing to work towards, no goal of achievement.

How dull! Nothing to do but sit and grow weary from boredom.

We humans need challenges! Conquests! Things to tackle! The feeling of a job well done!

Lay down your badge of ‘Perfect!’ and pick up your new badge of hope called ‘Progress!’.

Let’s begin!
