One of the cool things about Makers Market is that each seller gets a blog where they can talk about their products, their process, or whatever else is on their minds. Here, Marketeer Dave Umlas, aka Custom Creations, talks about a furnace controller he found in a scrapyard and used to create a flame-effects control […]
I really dig Allotrio’s Instructable for this shared couples table! A “table” for two made of felt and plywood. Find a partner in order to use it. It´s funny – and it works! Feel free to improve it, get inspired and make your own Valentines Day Partner Table design! So quirky and awesome, and possibly […]

There are scads of tutorials flushing through the tubes that will show you how to twirl old wire coat hangers into rings, cut them up, and link them together with pliers to make the ubiquitous “butted” chain mail, in which the individual rings are either unjoined, soldered, or glued together.

Most of you have mentioned the need for creative storage solutions so Andrea was nice enough to snap some pics […]
