At Rootsy, we want to help you discover projects that make you hum a happy little tune.

You know the ones. The fun projects that leave you with something pretty to look at. Or the hard projects that take a little effort but leave you with an amazing sense of accomplishment. Or the projects that connect you with the people who came before you.

In a mashup of new technology and vintage skills, Rootsy gives you access to skilled craftspeople who are doing the projects you want to learn about.
