Make

I enjoyed this book on many projects.

It did a great job on elaborating on different projects and how to make them. I thought it was interesting.

I would be interested getting the other volume(s).

4.5/5

I received this book, for free, in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not sure what I expected going into this book. I think I overestimated my desire to build. It turns out that, although I value a challenge/learning experience, I am mainly interested in saving time/money.
The projects in this book seemed like they were geared for people who have a builder space and build for fun. Most of the projects seemed impractical and even those that were interesting were not worth the time investment to me.

It's hard for me to rate this book. I thought I was part of the target audience, but I clearly am not. There were countless projects in here that seem like they would be a fun challenge for people who build just to build.
I think builders and makers would find plenty of inspiration in these pages. Me, not so much.
