Are You a Maker? Show Us Your Favorite Tool or Material

Mastering a craft requires practice and time spent honing technique and developing a style and perspective. Throughout that journey, tools are our constant companions. We rely on them to cut a straight line every time, produce the same color and bring our visions to life. We grow attached to our tools, for good reason.

Calling all Houzzers: Houzz would like to know what tool or material you rely on and how you use it. Grab your camera and take a photo of your favorite tool or material, and show us something you’ve made with it. Upload your best shots to the Comments section and tell us about them. Your photos could be featured in an upcoming story on Houzz.

Upload a photo of your favorite tool in the Comments section below. Do you have a particular pen you’ve been buying for years, one that fits perfectly in your hand and produces the most fluid and even line without ever skipping or clogging? Does a certain hand-powered drill outperform any electric equivalent you’ve ever purchased? Is there a brand of glue or style of pliers you’d never dream of going without? Or maybe you’ve hacked your tool to do something it wasn’t intended to do.

Whether you use this tool or material every day or once a year, if it’s something that helps you make things, we want to see it. Tell us what makes it so special.


Show us something you’ve made with it. We’d love to see how you’re putting this tool or material to work. Upload a photo of a painting, piece of furniture, sculpture or anything that shows us what makes this tool perfect for what you do. We want to see what you’re making, big or small.


If you’ve got something you have been using for years or are just getting familiar with, we want to see it, and we want to know what about it excites you.

Post a photo of your favorite tool or instrument and something you’ve made with it in the Comments below. We’d love to see what our creative Houzz community is up to.
