Anyone who grew up on tinker toys or erector sets knows the pleasure of making things. Now, millions of American are rediscovering that feeling, and turning a profit.

Some makers argue Cleveland embodies what the movement is all about. Photo credit: Andrew Salamone.Lisa Camp, associate dean for Strategic Initiatives, Case Western Reserve University
