Weld, carve, cook, sculpt, sew. Make something in the world that wasn’t there before. As humans, there are two things that make us truly unique: the ability to use tools and the need to tell stories.

Humans are natural storytellers, and when you make new things, you join in the most ancient and important story of all.
