Instructables user btop writes: Gas bottle wood burners are very easy to make, efficient, and are perfect for late night parties. If you turn them right up, the middle can start to glow red, you can put a kettle on the top, or cut the top off and add a hot plate. These are really […]
Andrew Salomone figured out a way to make a ski mask that doesn’t hide who you are. He writes: It’s pretty easy to wear warm clothes on just about every part of your body except for your face. As far as I can tell, the main reason that cold-weather facial attire is somewhat socially taboo […]
Instructables user CIRnetwork writes: In resource-limited areas worldwide, individuals with amputations may not be able to gain access to prosthetics devices due to a lack of the materials needed to fabricate them. This simple technique utilizes a 2-liter soda bottle to create below-the-elbow prosthesis suitable for a number of light duty activities.
MAKE reader Pauly left this link over at my How-to Tuesday: Arduino 101 blink an LED post yesterday. He made an Adruino powered fortune teller. I really like how he used an old cigar box as the enclosure. It looks like a really cool instructable, thanks for posting it! This project gives the user a […]
Here’s a really neat energy project: In this instructable, we describe how to build a photo-bioreactor that uses algae to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy. The energy that is produced is in the form of algae biomass. The photo-bioreactor is built from plastic recycled water bottles. By using algae as a biofuel, we […]
This Instructable has a bunch of ideas for reusing plastic (PET) bottles. Some of them are obvious (a grain scoop and a parts bins), some are more novel (a mosquito trap and a plant coldframe). Above are biscuit/cookie cutter, a butter churn, an LED light bulb, and an electric fence insulator. Quick and easy homestead […]
Aptly named Instructables user dirtydiaperchanger made this X-country ski stroller with relatively inexpensive materials. I hope my brother is reading, since he’s got a little one up in Maine where there’s five feet of snow.
