The Big Book of Maker Skills (Popular Science): Tools & Techniques for Building Great Tech Projects [Hackett, Chris] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Big Book of Maker Skills (Popular Science): Tools & Techniques for Building Great Tech Projects

Review: Good, broad coverage for beginners and experienced DIYers and makers. - I bought this as a gift for a women who is branching out from traditional artwork to explore various creative opportunities. She is not afraid of tools but is not well experienced. I feared this would insult her intelligence (she has some class and professional training with tools) but changed my mind after seeing the practical advice from the author, Chris Hackett. This is a book that even many experienced DIYers, tinkers, and makers will find useful for its advice about some tools one might be hesitant to blindly purchase (like welders). Nice art layout, well organized (including practical advice on first aid -- like when to get stitches), broad in its coverage. I have a ton of DIY books, from basic carpentry to computer hacking. This book will serve many folks looking for early insight about methods and tools while beginning a project.
Review: I read this book - Decent info. Easy to read and understand. Very basic though. Ten more words required to complete the review of book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Covers far more skills I didn't know, than I knew.
*by L***S on January 31, 2015*

This was a good book for me. I've dabbled in electronics, electrical, woodworking, and more, a typical handyman and DIYer, and I have several books on home “DIY” and maintenance, so I was familiar with many of the skills covered by this book. So while the skills covered by this book have some overlap with those, overall it supplements them very nicely. I found this book covered far more skills I didn't know, than I knew. My first thought upon looking through the book was 'this is what I needed back in school for my science projects." In particular the skills in this book on working with metal (forming and welding) and plastic will be valuable to me. I was also impressed with the coverage of the tools required for the skills covered. I also like the clarity of the articles and pictures. I'm impressed with it enough, that I'm going to get a copy of this for my adult son.
