Comment on I made a replacement for my broken fridge handle
uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 1 week agoI can lend the tools I don’t have from my local community workshop and most of the time I don’t consider the time to build/repair something work, but leisure. So while yes, all my shit would be way too expensive if I sold it, it’s still very much viable for me

Yup, I totally get that. Plus theres the satisfaction of it. And for many things the option to have it custom suited to your needs.
If I was a billionaire, there would be very few things I’d buy from a factory. Well, maybe not few, like toothbrushes toilet paper etc… obviously there are many things id get factory, but wherever possible, I’d prefer hand made by artisans, because its cooler, I want them to have jobs, and I can have it custom made. I’d be prepared to pay that premium for others to do it too.
