Made by Hand / No 2 The Knife Maker

I came across these video profiles a couple months ago and they have kept resurfacing when I’m looking for inspiration.  Made By Hand is Brooklyn-based project that is finding and revealing the life of the makers of the good and products that we consume and interact with on a daily basis.  The idea of going back to your roots and creating things on your own has become something of a trend.  That DIY maker of goods have that aesthetic that many are seeking, but with that handmade quality, you get an intimate connection with the goods.  Growing up, I think what formed my brain were my constant interaction with LEGOs and a father that was a woodworker.  There’s something about making things when you’re young that creates an instinctual reaction to these physical objects we interact with daily…  but enough about me… Check out the their work, buy their products, get inspired and start making things!
