Publisher Description
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.

About the Book MUSICIAN AND ACTIVIST T.M. KRISHNA INVESTIGATES THE HISTORY OF THE MRDANGAM AND MEETS THE INVISIBLE KEEPERS OF A TRADITION: THE MRDANGAM MAKERS. The mrdangam is an integral part of the Karnatik stage, its primary percussion instrument. Yet—startling as this is—the instrument as we know it is only a century old. T.M. Krishna investigates the history of the mrdangam and meets the invisible keepers of a tradition: the mrdangam makers. The making process is an intellectually, aesthetically and physically taxing one. From acquiring the skins for the circular membranes and straps to the wood for the drum, from curing the material to the final construction, and at the end of it all, making sure that it has the tone that the mrdangam player wants, mrdangam-making is also a highly nuanced operation at every stage. While several artists have been credited with the evolution of the instrument, including the stalwart Palghat Mani Iyer, none of them had knowledge of a fundamental aspect of the making: hide. The quality of the hide and how it is cured, cut, stretched, bound and braided impacts the tone, timbre and sound of the instrument. This requires a highly tuned ear and an ability to translate abstract ideas expressed by musicians into the corporeal reality of a mrdangam. Yet, their contribution to the art of the mrdangam is dismissed as labour and repair—when it is spoken of at all. There are legendary mrdangam players, yes; there are also distinguished mrdangam makers, many of them from Dalit Christian communities, who remain on the fringes of the Karnatik community. Sebastian and Sons explores the world of these artists, their history, lore and lived experience to arrive at a more organic and holistic understanding of the music that the mrdangam makes.
