Make:

Like the Pioneers

Technology is not just computers and electronics. The pioneers who settled

North America from the 17th to 19th centuries were loaded with technical

knowledge—how to make soap, how to build a fire, how to work wood—that

many of us wish we knew today. This compilation of articles from Make: provides

readers with an entry point to a simpler time, when books were made by hand

and pickles were high technology!

The projects in this book are specifically designed to be created with simple

materials like saws and hammers, paper and clay, vinegar and salt, string and

glue. The book provides the reader with practical hands-on experience working

with wood, paper, fats and oils, even fruits!

NO electronics or

programming

knowledge needed

to use this book!

All these skills used to be

taught from parent to child,

or in Home Economics and

Shop classes in school, but

over time, they’ve become

less a part of formal

education. So it’s time to

get hands-on ourselves!
