Hello!
How do you feel when you make a pizza in your kitchen rather than buying it from Pizza Hut?
When was the last time you felt happy after cooking something on your own and sharing it with dear ones?
How did you feel when you make something that you can say as 'truly belongs to you'?

This feeling can be cherished long after and acts as morale booster somewhere in future.
Doing something yourself gives you confidence and makes you feel independent. Many things can be self-made, like indoor fixtures, daily use accessories, fashion wear like wrist bands, chains, cloth mods, musical instruments, gadgets involving useful electronic circuitry and many more things. You name it. I have seen tech nerds making their own web servers, quadcopters and even guitars(I made one).
People who follow this trend seriously are often addressed as 'DIY enthusiasts' or 'DIYers'. This is a great culture and helps in stuff getting recycled, thus eco-friendly. The categories range from punk albums to high altitude ballooning. Sometimes, you need not spend much on trivial things like key chains, paper weights or even soap bubbles.
The electric guitar you see on the left was made for the college science exhibition(1st prize). It is made of single plywood plank with a thin wood sheet for the tuning pegs. Strings and pickup were bought. The amplifier part was made of a single IC on breadboard connected to an 8 ohm speaker. We encountered lot of noise but it turned out to be an advantage as it attracted more people to our stall.
Making and experimenting is a part of learning. I can also say that this blog is a website of that sort. I write to share what I went through and also to develop my skills. I would like to share a website here that motivated me to step into the business of DIY-synth. We all know what synthesizers are and also how expensive those complex things are. This website emphasizes electronics hobbyists to make own analog synthesizers, as the poster below says.
There is a movement going around the world to cut down costs and innovate cheaper ways to progress. Be it any way. This is called DIY sub-culture or even the Punk culture.
One of the best examples of DIY enthusiasts I can give you, Steven Wozniak. He built his own calculators, watches, timers, audio equipment and often played pranks on people unaware of his genius. When he was about my age(seventeen), he mastered Boolean algebra and started making computers. People like this person change the perspective of innovation in the eyes of society and the world itself.
Experience is the best teacher, also a hard one. Nothing learned practically is forgot. Doing things on your own is the single best way to apply knowledge you have been storing.
The website shown on the right says these words:
Keep imagining, keep inventing, stay ingenious!
Thanks
