I like the DIY culture. A lot.
When I was younger I would tear the home's radio apart and my remote-controlled cars would later serve for remote-controlled motors for the most various purposes. It sure starts the "bug" to know and create...
As an adult in the IT field, I like assembling my own computer(s), creating programs and in general I like the feeling of achievement derived from the "DIY way", rather than from the canned way.
Of course, I'm not an extremist and wouldn't do my own soap or anything like that. But hey! Some people do.
This thread is devoted to DIY projects which might be interesting to the general public, including extreme ones.
Feel free to add DIY projects you happen to like!

The sidecar is innovative and good looking too. I hope the rider can use it comfortably. It appears as a motorbike is running along a small car.
If you have 6:01 minutes to spare, I think you´ll enjoy this idea.
