Make is generally a fun read for the nerd in you, but this issue is particularly cool because of all the music projects showcased. I'm trying to decide which project to try first after the holidays. I think the PVC pipe electronic drums are at the top of my list. The drum bot is a close runner up.

First off, I received a free copy through the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program. I remember seeing this in my local bookstore but decided to not purchase it. Well, that was a big mistake. This volume was for musicians and being a part time musician, I was able to get tons out of this. Even some of the ads in it were not only able to get my attention but they directed me to tools that I never saw before but will be seriously looking at for use on stage.

One thing that really grabbed me from this was how easy and well explained some of the do it yourself projects were. When I was growing up, I can remember my grandfather taking me to his workbench and teaching me how to solder, test resisters and capacitors and really work on electronics. This magazine brought those days back to me, as weird as that may sound. It brought me back to wanting to start building and making things again and showing me how easy it is.

Check it out. You won't regret it.

Got this book for my father for a gift, but ended up looking though and reading it myself. Really good ideas!

if you are a tanker, a maker of handy tings, or are into building gadgets of many types this MAKE MAGAZINE #10 will get you going you will want to buy other issues and even get a prescription.
