Ben will be bringing us How-To videos on making compost bins and planter beds from scratch, as well as a series of One-Minute Tips on all things garden related (with some fun ideas for gardening with kids, too). His first One-Minute Tip, "How to Grow Your Tomatoes Into Trees," will be posted on Wednesday. More

The first in our series of One Minute Tips comes from Fay Wolf, with a tip on organizing your shirts. Click above and enjoy the show! Click here for past videos. More

Today's Maker Video is someone quite extraordinarily imperfectly perfect. More

Our first how-to video of the Spring 2012 series comes from John Gleeson Connolly, and it's called "How to Build a Hammered Light." It's by far our most complex how-to to date (including information on how to wire a light socket from an old extension cord!), but I was so inspired by his creativity that I thought that all of you would be inspired to create something after watching it, and some of you, like me, would try and make one (or a variation on the theme) yourself. More

Today's How-To is the Extended Version of Wednesday's post (How to Make a Hammered Light with John Gleeson Connolly) and we hope it will ignite your weekend craving to get back to your garage and rewire those old extension cords into inventive little lights. More

Welcome everyone to our new weekly video series in which we will attempt to bring posts to life and share with you the people that we've been meeting behind the scenes. Click on the video above and let me introduce to you our new season.... it's like Downton Abbey crossed with Smash and Mad Men... :-) (Thanks to Daniel Kluger for composing the music!)

For our first Maker video, I'd like to introduce an old friend, John Gleeson Connolly, who has a long resume, but needs no introduction. He speaks for himself and represents just the type of masterful, imaginative, skillful folk that we will be featuring in our new weekly videos. He will be bringing us highlights such as How to Make a Pirate Key, How to Make a Cypher Wheel, and How to Make a Mosaic Table. Check back on Wednesday as he teaches us How to Make a Hammered Light. More of his work can be seen here!

This really works. A few years ago we were at a photoshoot out in the Hamptons for O Magazine when we had the opportunity to capture this great little clip of Allie, who floored us with his close reading of the late, great Domino Magazine (okay, it was 2007). Enjoy and get ready for the new outdoor season! More
