Make It From Scratch

[ocdart]

So, how many things can you make from 'Scratch'?
For years I heard people say they made all kinds of things from 'Scratch'...like bread, cookies, and cakes.
As a kid I also read and heard guys say that some stuff on their model cars, and sometimes even the entire model, was 'scratchbuilt'.
Then as I got a little older and into full-size cars I read and heard the same thing, "Yeah, I built it from 'Scratch'"
I always wondered what this 'Scratch' was. What one thing could you possibly use to make baked goods, plastic models, and full-size hot rods?

I still don't know...but today I saw where I could buy it! And the price isn't too bad either...

Scratch is when you build something with what you have. Because you can't afford the easy way. $$$$$$$$

 

[DaveBonds]

Or, nobody makes what you want; available parts in the wrong material, etc.
