Maker, Material, Method

This site is the future home of a repository of information about widely available materials, tools, and how to smash them together to make interesting things.

I've spent decades dabbling in every medium I can get my hands on and learned a lot from it, this site will be something nice and comprehensive I can point people to and say "look! Read this!" rather than stumbling through a poor explanation in the moment.

This project was born from my frustrated inability to sift useful, truthful, thorough information from the sea of advertising and amatuer static that google surfaces for me. It was also born of the frustration many makers, cosplayers, crafters, and DIYers feel when you just need a Specific Part that has Specific Properties that you can pick up from your local hardware store, but you have no earthly idea what it's called or what section it's in because hardware stores are organized by profession, not material properties.

What this site will have (eventually)

• A small database of materials, hardware, tools, etc. that are commonly available. You will be able to search and sort and filter database in many ways to find what you need.
• Information pages about broad subjects that apply to many things, like humidity, heat transfer, and how learning things is like exploring an infinite video game dungeon.
• A blog where I write and share pics of the projects I'm working on.

Model the organization on one of my favorite reference websites focused on soft electronics: "How to Get What You Want".
