Build-A-Tool
107 Entries, 21 Prizes
Have you ever encountered a project where you wished you had the perfect tool to make the job easier? This is your chance to showcase your inventor skills and create a tool that solves a problem and simplifies the task-at-hand. Examples could include a specialized workshop jig, an adaptable gardening tool, or a clever hand tool for household chores. We want to see your innovative creations. Create an Instructable demonstrating your design process and the unique features that make your tool a must-have for any toolbox.
In this contest, we're looking for tools that not only showcase your creativity and craftsmanship but also demonstrate practicality and ingenuity. Think about the challenges you encounter in constructing your DIY projects and how your tool solves the problem. This is an opportunity to inspire others and contribute an innovative tool to the community.
We have two judge’s prizes: Autodesk Design & Make Award for best use of Autodesk software in the creation of your project, and a Student Prize for the best Instructable made by an actively enrolled student.
