“Wiring harnesses are an essential and often overlooked part of any electrical system. On a car, a good wiring harness can make the difference between a weekend joyride and a long tow home.

<\/em>The Maker Faire<\/a> is an event held twice a year (alternating between San Mateo, California and Austin, Texas) by the folks at Make Magazine<\/a>, one of my favorite publications from O’Reilly<\/a>. The event centers on DIY culture, covering everything from making combat robots to felting and needlepoint.<\/p>\n

This year I participated in the 2008 Bay Area Maker Faire<\/a> in San Mateo and showed people how to make better wiring harnesses for things like cars and electronic projects.<\/p>\n

During the Maker Faire I handed out a one page tutorial with information about where to buy the tools and supplies as well as the steps needed to create a template and make a wiring harness from scratch.<\/p>\n

Here is a pdf version of the\u00a0 handout.<\/a><\/p>\n
