i like to make things. i like to make things for myself. i like to make things for others. i don't really like buying things- especially things that were not made by a person (read: a particular individual). so i'm going to make things and document that along the way. maybe with a few essays and rants and links sprinkled in and an occasional amendment to the rules of the project.
here are a few rules to start us off:
1. don't buy things that you could make.
2. (and this one is important) make the things you need but don't need to buy.
3. when you do buy things, buy things that you won't need to buy again, at least not for a long time.
so here are two examples: a blanket. i need one and i can make one, and so i will. shoes: i need some, but i don't have the tools or skills to make them, so i will choose carefully and invest thoughtfully.
that should get us started.

I know where you can get handcrafted shoes maybe.. An acquaintance of mine makes some pretty cool shoes. Maybe you can afford some since you save all your money buying nothing.
