Welcome to Making It in El Salvador – the creative workshop of the Hagenaars family. On our main channel, you see the daily challenges of moving our family from Canada to Central America. Here, you see the solutions. We are dedicated to the practical side of expat life: resourcefulness and self-sufficiency. When you can't buy it, you have to build it. From woodworking custom furniture with local timber and 3D printing hard-to-find replacement parts, to sourcing ingredients for baking and growing our own food – we are literally building our new life from scratch. What you'll find here: 🛠️ Builds: Woodworking & DIY projects for the homestead. 🖨️ Tech: Using 3D printing to solve "third world" problems. 🍞 Kitchen: Adapting baking & cooking to tropical ingredients. 🧵 Make: Sewing, gardening, and creative fixes for everyday hurdles.
