One of the many perks that I enjoyed during my four years in London was living near that city's amazing museums. I was more of a Science Museum or Natural History Museum guy, but the we also loved the V&A. Each day on my way to work, the 414 bus took me past the V&A's magnificent facade. I always tried to get a seat that would allow me to get a good look.
The Maker Blog reports that the Victoria and Albert recently had an exposition on people who make things in their own private workshops. We are not alone! The video imbeded above is some sights and sounds from the world of DIY. The link below takes you to another video that includes some nice interviews with folks who are making things.
