MAKE is by and for people who like opening up things, taking the guts out and making other – usually cooler – things from what they find inside.

When I discovered MAKE, I told my mom that there are other people like me out there. Sure, she'll never forgive me for the time my grandparents gave me a watch when I was about 11 and I immediately popped open the back to see what was inside and the guts tumbled out onto their cement patio. What are watch gifts for anyway?
Throughout the years, I've build a lot of offbeat things from found objects like a telephone answering machine (it took up an entire table and was made from two portable cassette recorders, two RadioShack perf-box VOX kits, an old telephone handset and a few 4PDT relays) that really worked, a Rocketeer rocket pack that didn't really work but looks very cool and the a hydraulic flight simulator which does really work. |
