WeirdNazareth presents: MAKER DIARIES !

There really aren't enough blogs and websites on the internet. So we thought we'd create a new one. In the interest of highlighting the creative, mechanical, and industrial types in the Lehigh Valley we have created a branch of WeirdNazareth.com called Maker Diaries. On the Maker Diaries you'll (hopefully) find all kinds of how-to's, DIY projects, and photos of projects that people in the area, and beyond, have created. These may be things like, snowmen, art pieces, remodeling & home improvement projects, soapbox derby cars, novel methods of doing everyday tasks... basically anything.

Maker Diaries site is located HERE.

The site is intended to be interactive and reader driven. So if you have something that you'd be interested in showcasing please send us an e-mail. It can be as mundane as a step-by-step for sharpening lawn mower blades or as grandiose as making an ice sculpture. There are no rules. We want to see what you made and hear about how you did it.

We've posted a few of our own to get things started. But we want you to start sending us your ideas and projects.

What we're looking for:

1) Photos are key. At minimum, we want to see photos of your finished project. But we'd also like to see in-process photos and pictures that you've used for inspiration.

2) A little narrative would be nice. We're not expecting a 1500 word step-by-step how-to article (although that would be awesome if you have it). But we'd like to get an idea of how you completed your project, why you did it, what reaction you've got from it, etc.

3) No subject is too trivial. Lots of people don't know how to do simple, common things that you may take for granted. So why not transfer some knowledge. If you can help other people complete a task or attempt something they wouldn't normally attempt then it's a good thing.
