What do you enjoy about making utensils?

The most enjoyable part is coming up with a new idea and bringing it to life for the first time.

Also, I feel happy when I notice areas for improvement in an existing form and feel that it has been made better.

I believe that the only way for me to create something truly good is through repeated trial and error.

That's why I focus my creations on cooking utensils.
