MAKE Asks: is a weekly column where we ask you, our readers, for responses to maker-related questions. We hope the column sparks interesting conversation and is a way for us to get to know more about each other.

This week’s question: In the spirit of the holiday, what are you thankful for as a maker? It can be a skill, a completed project, or any other aspect of our community.

I’m thankful for the helpfulness of others. There have been countless times when I’ve been working on a project and come to a point where I didn’t have the skills or know-how to complete a certain step. It was through the help and knowledge of others that I was able to overcome these hurdles. In turn, I’m heartened to be able to reciprocate with my own knowledge to help others realize their visions.
