I always enjoy seeing other people’s ideas and projects. Even if it’s something I may never build myself, I like to see how other people do things because it gives me ideas and sometimes I will learn a new way of doing something. One of my favorite things to read are the Boy Mechanic books. […]
First off. . . Merry Christmas! I have been pretty busy this week doing stuff with my family and working on a really big project. This special project isn’t finished yet, but it’s going to be awesome when it is. I am making a step by step Instructable for it so you will […]
This past week I discovered that the light fixture in our bathroom was coming apart at the seams. Since it appeared that it could completely break and fall on someone, I decided to fix it. After getting the fixture down I began to work on it. There were two places where the glass frames were […]
This week’s post is different than all of my other blog posts. Normally I show you something that I have made that worked like I had hoped. . . .well not this week. I planned on showing you what I had been working on at the end of last week and over the weekend but […]

I really like to play ping pong. The only problem for me is that there is just no room in my house for a ping pong table, so I don’t get to play very often. I realized that the dinner table at my house is pretty big and would probably suffice as a ping pong […]

To be more specific, this post is something I embroidered. Google is my favorite company ever. They make great products and treat […]
I was cleaning out one of my ‘junk drawers’ yesterday and I stumbled across one of my past projects, a tuna can oil lamp. I made this about, I’d say, two years ago because I wanted a flame for melting wax and just burning stuff. I really wanted a bunsen burner but, like a […]
There have been multiple times where I have needed a 9v battery lead/clip but did not have one. Just the other day I was working on a project that I wanted to hook a 9v up to and like before I did not have any 9v battery clips, so I made my own. I made […]
