To encourage you to explore DIY, Bored Panda spoke with Liam O’Connor, a talented woodworker and furniture maker from San Francisco, about why crafting can be such a joyful experience. “I really enjoy the peace and quiet I feel while making something, even though most of the tools I use are quite loud,” he shares. “Working with my hands is very relaxing to me and calms my mind a lot. I also like the sense of accomplishment and problem solving.” “Don’t expect to make anything great in the beginning,” O’Connor advises. “Your first attempt at a new craft is probably going to turn out kinda rough, but that’s part of learning. I think social media often shows people making things quickly and perfectly, without revealing the failures it took to get there. Just jump in, do your best, and don’t be afraid to make something ugly.” Even O’Connor, with all his experience, is excited to keep learning. “There are so many different things I want to try out,” he says. “Lately, I’ve been interested in metalworking, especially to add accents to my woodworking.” Who knows what incredible things your hands and imagination can create next?
