The Maker's Field Guide: Master Maker Edition is the definitive guide to making anything imaginable. It is an extension of Christopher Armstrong's first book, the Maker's Field Guide, with a full new chapter on advanced project development following the process beginning to end, with 40 new pages of expanded content. Unlike anything you've ever encountered or likely will ever see again, this guide is meant as the end-all-be-all resource for top professional designers, engineers, and passionate DIY makers alike.The first and only resource of its kind to to combine almost every single technique on making & building prototypes / models for design, engineering, and product development. The guide also elaborates on the fundamentals and advanced tools of the professional work shop - covering "old-school" tools of the trade, as well as the "new-school" state-of-the-art technologies. This guide is written for top professionals and curious DIY tinkerers alike - I have personally written this as a guide that I can quickly reference in the field or in the office, however because of it's simple, non-technical language, it can be easily understood by anyone who may have little to no understanding of design. For anyone who enjoys the process of making, or for those who plan on building the next big Startup widget that will take the world by storm. Having the proper tools is half the battle to achieving successful results.This book has been written with advanced professionals in mind, but it is also meant to be used as a valuable resource for beginners, design students, or recreational hobbyists in mind.
