Ideas are the easy part. Everyone has them — in the shower, on the commute, in the half-awake space before sleep. What separates an idea from a thing that actually exists in the world is the willingness to use your hands. To make the first version, fix the second, and keep going until the thing in your head starts to look like the thing in front of you.

The hands are where it gets real.
