Why DIY?
Contrary to popular belief, the main reason for DIY is not only (or should not be only) about saving money. While this is possible in many cases (and especially against ‘top of the line’ commercial products), there are other, far better reasons to do it yourself.
The main one is knowledge, new skills, and the enormous feeling of satisfaction that comes from building your own equipment. This is worth far more than money. For younger people, the skills learned will be invaluable as you progress through life, and once started, you should continue to strive for making it yourself wherever possible.
Each and every new skill you learn enables the learning processes to be ‘exercised’, making it easier to learn other new things that come your way.
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” (Alvin Toffler, author of “Future Shock”)
