Junkyard/yard-sale scavenger stuff is a whole separate thing Probably stuff around electronics/media/computers archaeology... reading old format type stuff Gadget restoration?

If I do the cliche thing and use a 2x2, ideas for axes: Blank canvas vs junkyard Create vs repair Masculine vs feminine-coded Trad vs tech-nouveau Minimalist vs maximalist tooling Off-grid vs very online Purist vs pragmatic Sensory vs actuatory Utility vs art Output vs exhibit

Hmm. Gun culture and various kinds of prepper crowds are probably on this map too. They must make a lot of stuff. Is there a MacGyver subculture? Also civil war larpreppers as seen on both sides in Portland.

How about an axis for creative reuse/repurpose/upcycling vs fresh unnecessary consumption

Dunno how deep down the stack you want to go but there are sub levels of non-classic car culture like battlecars and tuners and “put an LS in it” that are more like kitbashing than ordinary repair/restore/upgrade stuff

Also vanlife and tiny home and boat culture have lots of overlap. Gardening and hydroponics and homesteading too. Even fan fiction and mashups and remixes are digital versions of the kitbashing no-code thing

3D Printing?

I consider that part of the broader O'Reilly Maker camp, along with Arduino and drones.
