lets talk tangible AGAIN

there is something so empowering in making furniture.

well.. more like assembling assorted pieces of wood (pre-made for your hands) accompanied with a handy manual decorated with stick figures and exclamation marks.
nevertheless i am proud of my work. i am thankful that IKEA gave me the chance to see what my hands, what my frail short (hairy) fingers can do.
the "assembly" requires only a screwdriver and some occasional hammerings.
the best part of this assembling process is when the one that wields the tool slowly becomes frustrated... the holes do not match up, the screw for some reason refuses to be subservient, and the right palm turns red from excessive friction. and i guess the bestest part is when the process comes to the end. the "builder"/ "assembler" will ALWAYS take a moment to stand 4 feet away from the product to absorb the sense of accomplishment AHHHH
don't you think we all lack that visual evidence of our accomplishments... the TANGIBLE proof of our abilities?


thank you ikea youre genius
