How-To: Get Started with Make: Projects

YouTube player

For those of you eager to boast about your maker prowess, but haven’t yet tried Make: Projects, I encourage you to take a look at this video to introduce you to what the site is all about and how it works. Make: Projects is a constantly growing cookbook for makers, so even if you’re only looking for inspiration for your next project, there’s a trove of ideas there. Some of my favorites include the wildly popular Doorstop Stash and the Mini Fume Extractor. Don’t let your creations just sit in your workshop or basement, share them with your fellow makers on Make: Projects!

    A Maker who uses Apple computers? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

      Chris, it depends on which Apple you own.  If you own the one with the regular screws, then it’s okay.  :)

        I know as many makers on Apples as PCs and Linux, maybe more. MAKE is an almost all-Mac shop, as is most of O’Reilly. I have both, but rarely use my Windows machine. Use what you like.

      I’m a maker, and I have Apple computers: the Apple II, of course, as designed by Steve Wozniak!
