Book: Making Things Move - DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists

Book: Making Things Move DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists
I just ordered this book from Amazon and I cannot wait for it to arrive. If it lives up to the description, this could become a maker's bible!

The book explains mechanical design principles and their applications in non-technical terms, using examples and a dozen topic-focused projects.

Some of the topics covered include:
  • Introduction to mechanisms and machines
  • Basic physics
  • How to fasten and attach things
  • Converting between rotary and linear motion
  • Using off-the-shelf components
  • Using and finding materials such as metals, plastics, & wood
  • A variety of fabrication techniques
This book sounds truly outstanding for makers of all sorts! I'll let you know what I think when the book arrives. It's due to ship in mid-December of 2010.

Here is where you can order the book Making Things Move DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists.
