Zero to Maker: Access to Tools

Zero to Maker: Access to Tools

I was about five pages in when I discovered a major obstacle: I didn’t have any of the tools the book required to do the suggested projects and experiments. I realized that despite my commitment to learning and my eagerness to get started, my goal of going from Zero to Maker would be impossible if I didn’t have the right tools.

Typewriter Assemblage: Jeremy Mayer

Jeremy Mayer’s typewriter assemblages are sculptural pieces made purely from typewriter parts. In a process he calls “reassemblage,” Mayer fits the pieces together into likenesses of living creatures using no welds, glue, solder, or external parts. He talks about and shows his work at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011.
