The one and only how-to-do magazine
From home improvements and repairs to build-your-own-helicopter |
Mechanix Illustrated was an American magazine founded in the first half of the 20th Century to compete against the older Popular Science and Popular Mechanics.
Billed as "The How-To-Do Magazine," Mechanix Illustrated (MI) aimed to guide readers through various projects from home improvements and advice on repairs to "build-your-own (sports car, telescope, helicopter, etc)."
From its debut in 1928, it went through a number of permutations over the years, being called at various points in its life, Home Mechanix, Modern Mechanics and Inventions, Modern Mechanix and Inventions, Modern Mechanix and finally Mechanix Illustrated.
