Just as much as their rss feed - it's not about making, it's about makers. And i was't able to locate any fucks to give about subculture. Some of their tutorials are nice, though.

quote from an earlier thread:

>I was a subscriber from the beginning but dropped it when it stopped being MAKE: and morphed into MADE:

>Now it's half ads, half showcase for stuff other people MADE and they tell the readers, "Look at this neat shit this guy MADE. And you can, too!"

>All you need are the plans, (which we don't show you)

>Or some good close-up pictures, (which we also don't show you)

>Or a bill of materials, (not included)

>or a website where you can learn more (usually a sales pitch for some clown to sell his half-assed 'art-pieces."

>Frauenfelder's a greedy sell-out who can lick my taint. Lately I've seen better project advice on /b/.

As an alternative, Handyman magazine is pretty good if you want actual print publication.

Family Handyman Magazine?
I'm asking because that's the first few results on google. I like having /diy/ reading material for the bathroom.

Bummer to see it go down hill, this is what got me into DIY stuff.

Still, it's good for inspiration.

I agree, most of the stuff in it is how to make a flashlight with an arduinio or how to laser cut a simple box.
