Make vol 4 available on Amazon

200510200906The fourth volume of Make magazine, which I edit, is now available on Amazon.

The major projects include an electric cigar box guitar, a kit to take high speed strobe photos (so you can capture a balloon or light bulb in mid-pop), and how to turn kids' electronic toys into musical instruments. There's also a guide to a bunch of different kinds of kits (electronic, beer making, robots, etc) and a how-to by Mr. Jalopy on converting a vintage hi-fi cabinet into an LP and CD ripper, burner, and player.

David Pescovitz started a new column for the magazine called Proto, which profiles cool makers in corporate labs around the world, and Cory Doctorow weighs in on the Supreme Court's unfortunate Grokster decision.

I'm especially excited about the do-it-yourself section with ways to hack your coffee and espresso makers.
