Handmade: A Hands-On Guide

Call it maker, handcrafted, or handmade, the movement of making handcrafted items has exploded—and not just in big, hip cities. This DIY movement encourages people of all backgrounds and skill levels to embrace their innate desire to build something rather than buy it. Handmade: A Hands-On Guide celebrates the movement and would-be makers with practical, doable projects that require only simple tools and techniques to complete.
Both inspiring and informative, Handcrafted: A Hands-On Guide, dabbles in digital technologies, but the focus is on the analog side of the movement. The 25 featured projects, from makers across the country, are made of all sorts of materials - concrete, leather, digital tools, Arduino, welding, casting, and printing.
Perfect for the armies of people of all ages who want to dive into the movement but haven’t summoned up the courage yet, plus those who have been left frustrated by the sketchy how-to online and in other books, Handcrafted: A Hands-On Guide will guarantee success for anyone who picks it up. Softcover, 208 full color pages, ISBN 97881631869341.
