What have you made with your own two hands?

OK, so John takes dead cars and turns them into super-cars, I take wood and make houses/furniture/absolutely anything out of it, and DD takes suckers and makes money out of them (tres tory); but we're extremes, and this place is full of analytical brains that should be able to turn their associated hands to anything, so what is it that you actually, physically make, when not sitting at a computer?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
I'm making Halloween costumes for my son and myself. I've also been tinkering with an arduino with him. I also got to do a little arduino demo for kids in a local foster care center. I've also built the site in my signature. Also, I put together an android app that gives the user x-ray vision to look to the other side of the Earth.

At various times I have: - rebuilt cars. Too many cars. - renovate houses - landscape (everything from the lawns, feature gardnes tree removal and inground sprinkler systems) - I once had a thriving business growing and selling carnivorous plants. Isn't that what all high school kids did in their spare time? - I make a better pavlova than Maxx.

That sounds like one of the main reasons I quit driving. I decided that time spent doing other things was time better spent.

That's something I can't quit.

Oh God, no! I don't mind getting dirty with machine oil, paint, sawdust, varnish, etc, but garden dirt?!? That stuff's alive! It's full of living things! I bought a house with gardens for the missus (and I've even bedecked/enplantered the garage roof for her), but she knows better than to ask me to stick my hands in mud. I can't be doing with that.

No, I just overpaid for 'em, you apple-loving bugger!

Hell, that's hardly an achievement; these beauty queens are cr@p at cooking.

My mother was a tailoress, and my daughter is studying all that fashion-designy malarkey. All I can do with needles is make holes in my fingers. The gene must have skipped a generation (unless there's another possible reason I'm missing).

Can't find it! Where is it? I desperately need to see the antipodes!

Well, I started trying to learn a musical instrument, but found out my only talent is for playing the radio. Then, I thought making videos would be neat, but I was informed that I have a face perfect for radio. So, I thought about singing and was told that I should be on the radio ... so they could turn it off. Hmm .... maybe I should try radios? Now they tell me I have a voice perfectly made for Morse code. I make, restore, use and collect Morse code keys and tinker with radios and antennas.

I'm with you as far as "code", but the last word doesn't make any sense.
