Web of the Week: Instructables

With this weeks WOTW we take a look at Instructables, the website about making stuff and doing things. Instructables describes itself as “The World’s Biggest Show & Tell” and justifiably so. Relying on user-submitted How-To articles, the site always has fresh content.
From starting engines, to constructing toys, to creating insane little time-wasting objects, Instructables is a terrific resource for some right-brain creative thinking.

The social aspect of the website is great, as members create groups of like-minded inventors, contests are always under way, and newsletters and events are prominently featured.

The site is great for every little gem of creativity that it offers, and every bit as handy on those rainy days when you have finished sketching robots and need something to occupy your time.

Check them out at Instructables.com
