Hello. my siblings

I have been DIY-ing so long you'd think I would be good at it by now! I do buy some stuff pre-made (screws, electric drill, wire, etc) but I always think about whether I COULD have made it myself. When we bought our (premade) house in 2021, it had a few pieces of furniture, but I've made most of the rest (and you can definitely tell which is which!). I made my own computer (with some help from AMD and a few other "specialty suppliers". I made my own off-grid utilities - something DIY almost every day. I'll have to post a pic soon when something particularly "striking" comes along.

Lol, who in their right mind would make their own screws or wire?

Can you really claim to be into DIY if you don't first mine the iron ore from the ground yourself?

I guess if you want to make a workbench, you first have to create the universe.
