Really Cool Books

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. […]

Merry Christmas . . . and a special project

  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 […]

Broken Light Fixture

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 […]

JR Radio to USB – FAIL

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 […]

iPhone Life Vest

As I stated in my last blog post, my family has beenĀ talkingĀ about going canoeing again. For safety reasons I plan on keeping my iPhone with me in the boat. Although I have a Lifeproof case on my phone that keeps it waterproof, if our canoe ward to flip over, my iPhone would sink to the […]

Airsoft BB Catapult

I have always been fascinated with catapults. Although I have built probably over a dozen, I haven’t built one in a long while. So one night over the past week I was sitting at my desk and saw my container of airsoft BBs and thought to myself that I had never made a catapult to […]

Dinner Table Ping Pong Net

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 […]

Google Chrome Hat

This is kinda different than most of the projects I’ve posted on here before. Normally my projects have something to do with actually building or designing something, but this week it’s about sewing. To be more specific, this post is something I embroidered. Google is my favorite company ever. They make great products and treat […]

Tuna Can Oil Lamp

  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 […]

Simple 9v Battery Clip

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 […]
