The Big Book of Maker Skills (Popular Science): Tools & Techniques for Building Great Tech Projects

Makers, get ready. This is your ultimate, must-have, tip-packed guide for taking your DIY projects to the next levelâ€”from basic wood- and metalworking skills to plugged-in fun with power tools, from cutting-edge electronics play to 3-D printing wizardry. Join Chris Hackett, Popular Science intrepid DIY columnist and star of the Science Channelâ€™s Stuck with Hackett , on a rummage through the toolbox of yoreâ€”and a foray into the technologies of the future.

HAND TOOLS
A classic is a classic for a reason. Learn to build your own metal forge, screen-print whatever you want, swing a hammer better than your ancestors, and repurpose what Hackett calls â€œobtainiumâ€â€”but what others might call trashâ€”into your own mad-scientist creations.
POWER TOOLS
Discover the supreme joy that is angle-grinding, rig your own welding machine out of a junked car battery or three, and meet and master a whole host of electronic gadgetsâ€”LEDs, piezo buzzers, solar panels, and more.
ROBOTS & BEYOND
When it comes to making, thereâ€™s a whole new skillset in town. Get started with CNC milling, laser-cutting, programming microcontrollers, and 3D printing in a chapter thatâ€™s all about building whatâ€™s next.
MUCH MORE
Setting up a hackerspace, drones and space exploration tool, circuitry basics, sourcing and crowdsourcing and biotechnology- just to name a few more. You name it; itâ€™s probably in this book.
