Great Article - Working With Your Hands

[CHEMIKER]

Even though I don't do it for a living, working on my bike gives me an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and delight. The author of this article, PhD turned motorcycle mechanic, does a great job of analyzing this feeling and pointing out that working with our hands is part of our being.

The author starts to ramble at the end, but the first couple of pages are pretty good.
