I Like To Make Stuff sent me. Amen. Making stuff yourself, repairing your own stuff (or giving other local people who are good with their hands the chance to do it for you for an honest price), repurposing products, retrofitting, and most of all learning how to do so, is the best way to add value to yourself and the things you create. Due to old age, we might be on the brink of losing an entire generation of artisans who were masters at their craft, without their knowledge being passed on. With the global educational system the way is right now, and where it's heading (getting all the noses in the right direction, ea: the same direction, educating their way into oblivion), there will be a severe shortage of specialists and passionate people who are dead set on pouring their soul into whatever they're creating and who one day might be needed the most. The most. We Need these people to stay independent, costeffective, and most of all passionate and knowledgable. Let's make people know what they're doing again. And let's create stuff that we're proud of again. Thanks Carhartt for this wonderful video, that shows you are on the forefront of making this a statement.

1:25 "I don't want to push a button and 2 minutes later this happens" 1:46 "There are always new ideas and ways to do things" 2:40 Shows CNC machine The messaging is a bit confused.
The message of this is so mixed and confused. Is it for or against progress in crafting? 1:25 "I don't want to push a button and 2 minutes later this happen" 1:46 "There are always new ideas and ways to do things" 2:40 Shows CNC machine Is it presenting creating as desirable or intimidating? 1:33 "I don't think there is an easy road to making it all happen" 1:54 "You can put it on paper and make it come alive" Last it taunts the viewer and implies they can't make things. 3:31 "I dare you to do what I do" That "dare" isn't said in an encouraging way, it's pretty adversarial.
