Who we are is intrinsically connected to what we do and the things we build. So what does a lifetime of making things look like? The Makers of Things documents the work and workshops of the Society for Model and Experimental Engineers, a sprawling organization with members all over the world. Their common tools and methods mask a huge array of interests and skills, from experimental tinkerers to woodworkers and librarians, all brought together under the roof of their South London headquarters.
