'It's not merely good, it's foundation-shaking.' - Seth Godin,
Seth's Blog From his unique vantage point as editor in chief of
Make magazine, Mark Frauenfelder takes readers on an inspiring and
surprising tour of the vibrant world of do-it-yourself. He spent a
year trying a variety of offbeat projects such as keeping chickens
and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden
spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen
science with his daughters in the garage. His whole family found
that DIY helped them take control of their lives, offering deeply
satisfying ways to spend time together. Frauenfelder also reveals
how DIY is changing our culture for the better. He profiles
fascinating 'alpha makers' leading various DIY movements and grills
them for their best tips and insights. 'Rich, thought-provoking,
and utterly readable.' - Maya Donenfeld, maya*made 'Less a how-to
book and more a rumination on the value of screwing up as a path to
mastery, Made by Hand is impossible to set down once you start
reading it.' - James Gurney, creator of Dinotopia 'It's as
inspiring as it is entertaining. You'll never look at your lawn the
same again!' - Chris Anderson, editor in chief of Wired 'Made by
Hand is a wonderful, thought-provoking, and timely book that shows
us why and how we need to take back control or our lives.' - A.J.
Jacobs, author of The Guinea Pig Diaries and The Year of Living
Biblically 'Human beings find their proper home not in large-scale
corporate structures but in the struggle for individual agency. You
have to admire the doggedness with which the individuals in Made by
Hand try to render their own world intelligible.' - Matthew B.
Crawford, author of Shop Class as Soulcraft 'Made by Hand is a
wonderfully inspiring read and makes turning to a make-centric way
of life feel not only approachable, but utopian.' - Jaymi Heimbuch,
TreeHugger 'Mark Frauenfelder's book is great. He shows you how to
make your own iPhone 4 out of and iPhone 3GS and an iPad!' -
