One of my hobbies outside of work
is building musical instruments.
I don’t know much about
woodworking, so my
instruments are
generally pretty primitive.

I started building
instruments out of
cigar boxes.
If you don’t have anything
good to work from, then use
what you have and
improvise.

Being creative and improvisational helps

is not the same as
repurposing a found object.

might not be as good
