MAKE: Technology on Your Time, Volume 17

by Mark Frauenfelder

If you like to tweak, disassemble, recreate, and invent cool new uses for technology, you'll love "Make", our project-based quarterly for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer. In Vol. 17, "Make" goes really old school with a special section on steampunk, featuring projects that blend Victorian era technology with the cutting edge. Build your own marble adding machine or geared candle holder, and make music with a random music generator.
