Make (or MAKE) is a quarterly magazine published by[1] O'Reilly Media which focuses on do it yourself (DIY) projects involving computers, electronics, robotics, metalworking, woodworking and other disciplines. The magazine is marketed to people who enjoy "making" things and features complex projects which can often be completed with cheap materials, including household items.
The magazine has photo essays on projects as well as regular columns on the world of technology and reviews of books and tools. Its first issue was released in January 2005 and has to date published nine issues. Bruce Sterling is a regular columnist for the magazine, as is Cory Doctorow. Lee D. Zlotoff contributes a competition in each magazine which he judges.
The Primer section is a frequent feature teaching skills in areas as diverse as welding, electronics and moldmaking. Another frequent feature is the MakeShift competition, which presents a situation where someone has to confront a life-threatening situation with limited equipment.
