Call it maker, handcrafted, or handmade, a new DIY movement has taken off big time. The common thread that ties makers to DIYers and handcrafters is the desire to build something rather than buy it.

• Handmade: A Hands-On Guide celebrates the movement and would-be makers with practical, doable projects that require only simple tools and techniques to complete.
• Author Asa Christiana is the former chief editor of Fine Woodworking, the most respected woodworking magazine in the world.
• 25 accessible projects...accessible yet doable with a modest collection of simple tools and made from all sorts of materials--concrete, leather, digital tools, Arduino, welding, casting, and printing.
