Make:

Welcome Back, Colbert Nation!

Thanks for watching MAKE's Editor-in-Chief Mark Frauenfelder on The Colbert Report. Knowing what a naturally curious lot the Colbert Nation is, we pretty much expected you to show up at our front door. And so ... to whet your appetite further, we've assembled some free samples of DIY projects from the pages of MAKE magazine (Mark demoed a couple of them on the show!).

To find out more about Maker Media and all the shenanigans we're up to (from events to kits to magazines), we've put together a brief intro you'll want to check out.

So, download these free sample projects below, get your own cigar box project plans, or buy Mark's book in our very own Maker Shed Store. And don't forget to sign up for our FREE MAKE newsletter! You'll be the first on your block to know all about the wild and wonderful things happening in the MAKE world.

And that's the Word.

Watch the video!

And now, without further ado....

Check out the last time MAKE's editor and Stephen Colbert went mano a mano!
