00:00:15
There has never been a time
00:00:18
to make things as good as right now.
00:00:21
Between what's available on the Internet,
00:00:24
like the stuff on YouTube,
00:00:26
the stuff on Instructables,
00:00:29
between the quality of your teachers
00:00:31
who know so much
00:00:33
and the incredible availability of parts,
00:00:39
there's almost nothing that you can't make,
00:00:42
almost nothing you can't make,
00:00:44
if you really try.
00:00:45
Now in my career, I've made a lot of stuff.
00:00:48
I've made telescopes,
00:00:50
I've made microscopes,
00:00:52
I know people who made electron microscopes.
00:00:54
I personally made flamethrowers.
00:00:56
I made a four-story high trebuchet.
00:00:59
Um, I've made some really dangerous stuff.
00:01:01
My favorite is I made a battlebot
00:01:02
when battlebots were kind of big.
00:01:04
You know, it was metal,
00:01:05
it had 20 horsepower motors,
00:01:07
it had a carbon-tip fireman cut-off saw in the front.
00:01:09
That thing could, you know,
00:01:11
eat its way out of a steel room.
00:01:13
I've made just so many things.
00:01:17
But not everything you have to make
00:01:18
is dangerous to be cool.
00:01:20
The point is, is that it's just fun to make stuff
00:01:23
and if you've got a really good idea,
00:01:26
you could probably do it.
00:01:29
Now, there are different styles of making things.
00:01:32
There's Do It Yourself and that's like,
00:01:34
"Well, I'm going to fix the brakes on my car
00:01:36
or put siding on my house,"
00:01:37
and that's an interesting kind of DIY.
00:01:39
But there's hacking,
00:01:40
where you take one item that's purposed for something else
00:01:43
and turn it into something, you know, cooler,
00:01:45
something different.
00:01:46
There's bricolage,
00:01:47
which means making things from found objects.
00:01:49
There's kitting, which means you buy a kit,
00:01:51
something complicated, probably, and put it together.
00:01:54
And there's inventing,
00:01:55
and inventing is the best!
00:01:58
The best kind of making things involves
