Top 10: Knifemaking
Knives are a major “gateway drug” for many a young maker. They were for me, certainly.

(Coincidentally, both skills are covered in this round-up.)
Top 10: Binder clips
While searching for related content for this morning’s clever plastic bottle top hack post, I noticed that we have lots of binder-clip related tips, tricks, and hacks. Here are the most trafficked.
