MAKE 18

MAKE: 18

MAKE: 18

Many readers might know that I used to work for MAKE Magazine, and I’ve written a few articles for them. MAKE is a quarterly DIY (do it yourself) magazine that “unites, inspires and informs a growing community of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages.”

Every volume of MAKE is full of interesting reading and ideas, but Make: 18 is also full of permie bliss like worm bins, off-the-grid laundry, an interesting article about depression-era back-to-the-land-ers Helen and Scott Nearing, and much more:

Volume 18: ReMake America! These challenging times have presented us with a rare chance to try out new ways of doing things. The opportunities for makers are terrific — we can start at home to remake manufacturing, education, food production, transportation, and recreation. In MAKE Volume 18 you’ll learn how to make an automatic garden, heat your water with the sun, monitor and share your home energy usage, and more.

Yours truly even has an article in this issue, Lay of the Land, that introduces readers to permaculture, how to map your property, and how to make and use an A-Frame level and water levels. (Are you ready to make some swales?) View the complete online table of contents here and you’ll see why I love this volume!
