Make Magazine is the publication for those who like to take things apart and make them better.


Do you have a soldering iron on your desk? When something you own doesn't work, do you take it apart and fix it? Do you salivate over the idea of hacking new electronic products to do your bidding? Make Magazine is the publication for geeks, hackers, hardcore do-it-yourselfers, and probably MacGyver if he wasn't a fictional character.

The magazine and its richly complementary website are chock full of ideas, tutorials, and examples of reader accomplishments. Some projects are amazing, some are useful, some are wacky, and some are downright silly. But the point is to show that people have the ability to make things and fix things, traits that have been declining since the mid-20th century when every self-respecting man had a full toolbox, and perhaps some metal working equipment in his garage.

The site also hosts podcasts, video clips, and a community forum for tinkerers to get together and share ideas. To all you engineers out there, get off your theory and get your hands dirty! The satisfaction of creating something with your hands is such a satisfying experience, and Make Magazine is bringing that experience to life.
