Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World (Penguin)

Join us for a special presentation by Boing Boing founder, Make magazine editor, and Made by Hand author Mark Frauenfelder!  In this 45-minute demo, he'll show us how to make yogurt, sauerkraut, kombucha, and cigar box guitars and amplifiers (check out the one on the book's cover, below!).

"This is a must-read book. Mark has lovingly and candidly documented the complex, myriad, intangible and often very tangible rewards of grabbing the world with both of your hands, and learning how it works."
- Adam Savage, Mythbusters

"What Mark Frauenfelder knows is that making a ukulele out of a cigar box is not just fun (and finally a good use for your thousands of old cigar boxes), it's a way of restringing and retuning your whole life. Buy this book, read it, and then maybe make it into a clarinet. I bet you can!"
- John Hodgman, author of The Areas of My Expertise and More Information Than You Require
