It would be foolish to design without a plan – sometimes. It would be foolish to design without
engineering analysis – sometimes.
However, sometimes we should design by building. Conjure general ideas in our mind and start
building, making mistakes, fixing the mistakes and moving steadfastly forward. While many projects can never be done this
way, especially civil engineering projects and complex mechanical and chemical
schemes, there are times when designing by building lets us create in a very
natural way. It can lead to marvelous
designs as shown with this scratch built loom.
It evolved one piece at a time, with gears made with a scroll saw and
additions to the mechanism as needed.
Avoid designing large structures by building...
