Learn How to Make or Do Just About Anything with Instructables
A long, long time ago, back when I first met EB, I thought she knew everything. So when I needed to know how to do or make anything I just asked her. But then, as I got to know her better, I found out that she didn’t know everything. Go ahead and ask her how to grow a square watermelon. She won’t know… I don’t think.
Anyway… our site pick today is called Instructables. It’s a site that had its origins at MIT and Squid Labs. But you don’t care about that, all you care about is what it is and what you can do with it. And what you can do with it is- just to name a few…

Here’s some info from the site:
“Instructables started out in 2005 as a documentation system for open source experimental kitesurfing by members of Squid Labs. When they weren’t solving interesting problems like solar panels for driveways, efficiently harnessing human power, or strain sensing ropes, you could find them sharing Instructables from their workshop. From 3D printing to cooking, to making anything fly, Instructables became the recipient of countless hours of tinkering, soldering, stitching, frying, and fun.
Since its founding, Instructables has grown into an amazing community of curious doers from around the world and is home to hundreds of thousands of projects…”
