The Maker's Field Guide

The first and only book exploring the art & science of making ANYTHING imaginable—from small-batch prototyping, to product development and mass production.

Very cool! So satisfying to see it being primed and painted at the end 👌💯

Looks like they used many of the same techniques covered in great detail in The Makers Field Guide ⚙️😉

Now #2 in three major maker categories—thank you!

Huge thanks to everyone who’s been reading and supporting The Maker’s Field Guide (Expanded & Updated).

We’re currently sitting at:
• #2 in Industrial Design
• #2 in Manufacturing Engineering
• #2 in Industrial Manufacturing

This means the book is showing up right alongside the top titles in the field—exactly where I hoped it would land for real makers, engineers, and inventors.

If you haven’t grabbed it yet, the $5.99 launch price ends Sunday night. Whether you read it free with KU or buy the Kindle edition, it’s the perfect time to dive into the new AI-assisted fabrication, CNC tips, 3D printing techniques, and real-world prototyping sections.

Many makers start with the digital version and then upgrade to the $28.99 paperback for workbench use (notes, tabs, sketches, and permanent shop reference).

@lonnieg @make @makerfaire Absolutely, Lonnie—makers come in all shapes and sizes, and from all different backgrounds! There are no rules, and nobody to tell you what can't be done, so let your inspiration guide you. Curious to see what you will make?💡

The latest expanded and updated 2025 edition of The Maker's Field Guide, which debuted on @Kickstarter last year, is now available on @amazon!

Only 1,500 copies remain from the Kickstarter-funded print run—already read and enjoyed by thousands of backers worldwide—and they’re likely to sell out quickly. Be sure to get yours while you still can: https://t.co/W0p3SOMS7I

Close to 1,500 books loaded up on the truck and one step closer to finally being available for sale on @amazon! 📚🙌 #themakersfieldguide

Today, I’m thrilled to announce that The Maker's Field Guide: Expanded and Updated 2025 Edition is now available on Amazon as a Kindle eBook!

Follow the link below to read a sample preview and see what's inside for yourself—and the best part is, you can read the entire book for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription!

https://t.co/9vsNrLrMpJ

If you didn’t have a chance to pick up a copy on Kickstarter or Indiegogo during the crowdfunding launch a few months ago, now’s the perfect time to get access to all of the great new content that’s inside—including more than 180 pages of cutting-edge new content*, and a new foreword from @paulakers, president and CEO of FastCap, the innovative US-based manufacturer in Bellingham, Washington. It’s also ideal for people who appreciate the high-quality experience and convenience provided by @AmazonKindle.

I wish I had known even a small part of this when I started, because many of these valuable and highly sought-after topics—like mass production, patenting ideas, or launching a market-ready product—whether for other companies or your own profitable ventures—are not taught in school.

And for the price of less than two Chipotle bowls, it’s a total steal!

It's a great idea to introduce kids to LEGO sets at a young age. I know a few engineer friends whose kids are crazy about LEGOs. They're one of the most precision-engineered kids' toys of all time—and they're all made from simple injection molding technology! 🧱📐

From Idea to Reality—Faster Than Ever 🚀

The hardest part isn’t dreaming up ideas—it’s bringing them to life. The Maker’s Field Guide: Expanded 2025 Edition is your shortcut from spark to startup, from concept to creation.

After years of late-night grinds, nail-biting launches, and costly lessons, I packed everything I wish I’d known into this book—so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

🧩 Build smarter. Fail less. Skip the fluff. Your next breakthrough starts here.

Stop waiting. Start making. The future won’t build itself—but you can.
