James Otter is a renowned wooden surfboard maker who embodies a deep passion for craftsmanship and the ocean. In his book, Do Make, he invites readers to rediscover the joy of making by transforming natural materials into beautiful and useful objects. Through a combination of stunning photography, inspiring advice, and a step-by-step guide to creating your own handplane for bodysurfing, Do Make encourages readers to reconnect with their creativity, environment, and themselves.
Preparation: What to Make, Where, and How to Get Started
Do Make begins by exploring the various types of projects that can be made with natural materials. From simple wooden toys to intricate furniture, the book showcases a wide range of possibilities. Otter emphasizes the importance of choosing projects that align with your interests and skills, and provides tips on how to get started.
Process: Learn to Trust It and Let Go of Perfection
One of the key themes of Do Make is the importance of trusting the process and letting go of perfection. Otter believes that the beauty of handmade objects lies in their imperfections, and that the process of making them is just as important as the final product. He encourages readers to embrace the imperfections and learn from them, rather than striving for perfection.
Power: Develop Confidence in Your Natural Skills and Ability
Do Make also emphasizes the power of developing confidence in your natural skills and ability. Otter believes that everyone has unique talents and abilities, and that by practicing and honing them, we can achieve great things. He provides exercises and activities to help readers develop their skills, and encourages them to take risks and try new things.
With incredible photography, plenty of encouragement, and even a how-to guide to make your own handplane to take bodysurfing, Do Make reminds us that nothing quite beats the feeling of having made something with our own hands. It is time to make your mark on the world!
