What’s a useless machine you ask? It’s a machine that when switched on, switches itself back off. So simple yet promises hours of entertainment and fun for the whole family. The Useless Machine comes in kit form and takes about an hour to assemble. The easy to follow instructions walk you through every step ensuring a successful build. It’s a great first project that blends soldering and mechanics into one humorous conversation piece!
Right now we’re having a special deal on the Useless Machine Kit in the Maker Shed. From now until Sunday night (unless we run out) you can save $10, taking the price from $34.99 to $24.99!

I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.
