They feed you a lot of blatant lies
since Kindergarten, like you need to be a Genius to build
things, be it your Pet Idea's Prototype, or even a simple Gizmo
you've seen somewhere and just want to build for yourself.
Well, you don't need to be a
Genius, you don't need a factory, and no, you don't need to
have everything done by order, just as you don't need to be a
Nobel Prize Writer to write a letter to your folks at home.
Remember, if big name Corporations like to keep manufacturing costs to a minimum, why should you fork money away, instead of doing what they do... Keeping it simple, making it work.
Now,
being an Inventor, I won a few Medals on Geneva and Nuremberg, and as
I went building my prototypes, raw necessity, (the Mother of
Invention), some Web browsing, and the tips I traded with others
taught me a lot of tricks that I share with you in my Book:
Prototypes: To build about anything without giving up.
For you're a few clicks and 7 US dollars away to start building stuff, assembling stuff, and knowing how to get wonder stuff you think only exists on Q's lab. And what's more, you learn to teach yourself all the other stuff you'll eventually need, so this is only the beginning!
Want to build something?
Don't want to build, but rather, to assemble pieces done to Industrial quality?
And replicating a particular piece?
Can you make a Robot out of Meccano?
All that is dealt with, and you end up with a few extra tips, like where to find Rare Earth Magnets... They're closer than you think! So buy it now , and start making something out of your ideas!
