Offers a general guide for DIY project enthusiasts that includes tips on using and improvising hand and power tools, as well as basics in robotics. - Simon and Schuster
Makers, get ready. This is your ultimate, must-have, tip-packed guide for taking your DIY projects to the next levelâfrom 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 Channelâs Stuck with Hackett , on a rummage through the toolbox of yoreâand 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 âobtainiumââbut what others might call trashâinto 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 gadgetsâLEDs, piezo buzzers, solar panels, and more.
ROBOTS & BEYOND
When it comes to making, thereâs a whole new skillset in town. Get started with CNC milling, laser-cutting, programming microcontrollers, and 3D printing in a chapter thatâs all about building whatâs next.
MUCH MORE
Setting up a hackerspace, drones and space exploration tools, circuitry basics, sourcing and crowdsourcing and biotechnology- just to name a few more. You name it; itâs probably in this book.
Packaged in a durable, wipe-clean flexicover with metallic corner-guards, this practical manual withstands heavy-duty use indoors and out.
