In just three years, Instructables.com has become one of the
hottest destinations for makers and DIY enthusiasts of all stripes.
Known as 'the world's biggest show & tell', makers from around
the globe post how-to articles on a staggering variety of topics -
from collecting rainwater for lawn care to hacking toy robots to
extracting squid ink. Now, with more than 10,000 articles, the
Instructables staff and editors of "Make Magazine" - with help from
the Instructables community - have put together a collection of
solid, time- and user-tested technology projects from the site."The
Best of Instructables Volume 1" includes plenty of clear,
full-color photographs, complete step-by-step instructions, as well
as tips, tricks, and new build techniques you won't find anywhere
else - even material never seen before on Instructables. Some of
the more popular how-to articles include: the LED Throwie -
magnetized electronic graffiti that's become a phenomenon; how to
make a cheap CNC milling machine out of plumbing parts, printer
motors, and a rotary tool; innovative gaming hacks, such as how to
add LED lights and custom-molded buttons to a video game
controller; and, new twists on personal items, such as the Paper
Wallet and Electric Umbrella.While the book focuses on technology,
it also includes articles on creating cool furniture from cheap
components, and ways of making your own toys. Anything but a
reference book, "The Best of Instructables Volume I" embodies the
inspirational fun, creativity, and sense of community that has
attracted more than 200,000 registered members in just 3 years.
Many of the articles include sidebars that show how other builders
have realized or improved upon the same project. Making things is
cool again: everyone wants to be a creator, not just a consumer.
This is the spirit of the 'new handy heyday', fostered by
Instructables.com, "Make Magazine", and others, and celebrated by
this incredible book - "The Best of Instructables Volume 1".
