Do you make it?

If you are one of those people who like to make various products instead of buying them, or you want to start making more from home I suggest you check out this nifty book called Making It, radical home ec for a post-consumer world, by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen. This book has most everything to get you started on the right foot. it shows how to make olive oil lamps, Bathroom and kitchen necessities, (soap, tooth powder, styling gel, herbal remedies, stocks, breads, condiments, etc.) basic mending, making vinegar, composting, chicken coops, and quite a lot more.

They also have a great book on Urban Homesteading called the urban homestead. I found this book very helpful. Here is a link to this book at amazon.com.
