gimmelotsarobots says: Jul 16, 2008. 9:29 PM
I was scouring the internet for internet controlled robots when I found an article on Make: that linked me to the Make: group. Then I descovered the aww and splendor of the Instructables universe.

Weissensteinburg says: Jun 15, 2008. 11:02 PM
I'm really not sure, but I do remember that it took me a ridiculous amount of time to figure out that you could see some other than those on the front page. (this was the old index...the white one with changing featured ibles)
teaaddict314 says: Jun 15, 2008. 10:48 PM
google
Doctor What says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:39 PM
A I ran across it a couple of times (there has been another(s) forum(s) like this, so please, if I'm wrong, let me know). One: I was looking at make magazine, and I got brought here. Two: I was searching for duct tape related things, and I ran across this mega-instruction-manual-orgasm. Either one of those is right, but it's been two years now, and I don't have that large of a memory.
Doctor What says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:41 PM
BTW, the reason I stayed was because of the play dough instructable.
Sunbanks says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:44 PM
The one on how to make play dough? At first I thought you meant an instructable on how to do something with play dough....
Doctor What says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:46 PM
It's like my favorite favorite.
Doctor What says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:46 PM
I usually make a quarter batch though.
Sunbanks says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:48 PM
I like how play dough smells.
Doctor What says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:51 PM
This smells better. You can even add oils! Mine smell like peppermint.
Sunbanks says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:48 PM
Is it edible?
Doctor What says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:55 PM
It would taste really, really, salty, but it won't kill you. So yes, if you were really hungry, and you couldn't make it to the fridge in time, it is edible.
zachninme says: Jul 17, 2008. 7:24 PM
Sorry to be completely random, but have you tried using it as salt? Use it to salt corn!
Sunbanks says: Aug 5, 2008. 3:13 PM
Play-dough coated corn? Hmm... :D
Sunbanks says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:56 PM
Bleck.
emuman4evr says: Jun 15, 2008. 8:31 PM
I googled how to make a rail gun I was delivered here.
John Smith says: Jun 14, 2008. 12:37 PM
CNN. I was on vacation, and caught the end of the report on it. I came home and checked it out(this was summer of like 2006, maybe earlier). Then i joined in september of 06.
dchall8 says: Jun 12, 2008. 11:15 PM
All the links from makezine.com lead you here.
n8man says: Jun 12, 2008. 9:21 PM
I was researching for a project and found a paper circular glider that moves very slow. And I then madw multiple of those paper toys that golics makes and a week or so later, Instructables was one of my favorites. In other words, Google.
Brennn10 says: Jun 4, 2008. 2:33 PM
I didn't find Instructables; Instructables found me.
T3h_Muffinator says: Jun 4, 2008. 2:27 PM
Via Makezine!
ry25920 says: Jun 2, 2008. 7:31 PM
I found out about it through Popsci.
Pbyrd says: Jun 1, 2008. 7:44 PM
I got here by looking up an electronic dtonator for fireworks after an incident where the artillery shell launcher I was using got a hole burnt in the side and the shell shot out and hit me in the face.

Yerboogieman says: May 30, 2008. 8:20 AM
i found it looking up computer hacks in google, i think i got to the 100,000,000 search before i found instructables i looked around, got tired of ads and signed up.
The Jamalam (author) says: May 30, 2008. 5:04 AM
I saw Perfect duck's knexecutioner V1 on youtube, and it has a link to Instructables. For about 6 months now I have browsed, but I have recently become a member.
