A Beginner's Guide to the Skills, Tools, and Ideas of the Maker Movement

Zero to Maker

Timeo Williams

Look into having a mentor at the hackerspace you join to teach you how how to utilize all the tools available and speed up your growth.

Advice for someone getting started is to read some and watch some. Ask questions. Then decide what you want to do. Start simply. Learn to sketch, measure, mark, cut, file, and sand. Learn also to drill, deburr, fold, and bend. Learn to rivet, bolt, and screw. Learn the metals and their applications. Then learn the hot stuff, after your shop skills are developed. (116)
