Topic: Do it yourself

Today everything can be done for you if you are willing to pay. But I just watched an episode of "No Reservations With Anthony Bourdain" with nomads who make everything they need. I know it's by necessity, but you don't see that here.

I was wondering what anyone here makes on their own. And I don't mean a big dinner every now and then. I'm talking about everyday things you could get at just about any store.


Here is my input:
I make my own beer from a kit. It's a simple one, but I don't have the room for a still. It makes some of the best beer I've had. I'm thinking about experimenting with different combinations.

Does Do it yourself repairs count? I can fix just about anything with duct tape (or the right glue).

It is easier to buy stuff, but it can be funner to make it yourself, and sometimes cheaper.
