By: Adam Savage
Adam Savage, alongside with Jaime Hyneman, Grant Imahara, Kary Byron and Tory Belachi we amongst my most important figures while growing up. A source of inspiration that played an important part in my later career development and attitude.
Adam Savage writes about life as a maker. Starting with a very honest, human experience on how he became a maker. Paraphrasing him, when you express yourself as you are is the most powerful and the must vulnerable at the same time. He shows that anyone can be a maker. Making is not only building stuff for TV commercials but to write, to code, to paint, to basically anything in which you are making something and then guides how the mindset plays a very important role on it.
This book closes with a set of advice, experiences and anecdotes to provide you with useful knowledge to make stuff at home. The core component you need to be a maker is to start however small it is, and it doesn’t matter if a project needs to sit for long time. You may come finished it literally years before.
