The Pride of the Editorial Team: DIY Projects and Passion 2026

Receiving your projects and seeing how skilled you are at creating objects and solutions with the right techniques, tools, and materials is truly invigorating for us on the editorial team. We are amazed by the variety and originality of your “works” and regret being able to publish only a tiny fraction of them. That’s why we decided to dedicate the entire last issue of 2021 to you, but there’s more: read the thought below sent to us by Valerio Spelta, a hymn to this hobby/lifestyle that gratifies us and makes us proud to contribute to such special people—you fantastic DIYers.

Thank you!

A DIYer Never Gets Bored

Because you work with passion and time flies, because you never throw anything away and everything becomes useful, because you sort materials well and respect the environment, because you’ve learned to extend wood, not just cut it, because you make a shelf and realize even a centimeter makes a difference, because you organize your workshop in perfect order and someone tells you it’s worse than before, because you’re happy when your passion is contagious, because when a friend presents a problem you wait for them to say “would you have time to give me a hand,” because you never have time to sort the screws piled up for years in a box, because you see an unused object and already know what you could do with it, because in a few square meters you fit the impossible, because you’re never tired and don’t watch the clock, because you can’t edit a two-minute video but in 40 years you’ve completed 1000 projects, because for over 30 years you’ve read DIY magazines and await each month like it’s the first, because you realize time passes but the passion stays the same, because you enter a hardware store and the clerks can’t answer your questions—but it’s not their fault, maybe training them would require older DIYers, because you know your limits but still try, because you do someone a favor and want nothing in return—a coffee or a bottle of prosecco is fine, because you’re curious and your mind always works, because you don’t stop at doubts and humbly ask those better than you, because you see someone in difficulty and don’t say “I can do better,” but “do you need help?”
