Introduction to Human Powered Machines with Tamara Dean

#012- Thanks for tuning in! This week we're chatting about human powered machinery and tools with Tamara Dean, author of The Human Powered Home. Her book definitely got my gears going on useful things I could make to help out around the place, and it presented material in a way that made creating or modifying these machines very approachable! If you're interested in self-reliance, understanding the principles behind how a lot of machines operate (homemade & vintage), building stuff yourself, or just all around cool creations I think you'll enjoy both her book and this episode. I've always loved inspecting old home or farm machinery and following the movement of parts so I can figure out how they are working and how they accomplish what they do. If you have the same curiosity, this is something  you need to look into. We also discuss some of the reasons why human power machinery makes sense and is important to consider. Links to any resources mentioned in the episode can be found over at:folkcraftrevival.com/12
