I always wondered what went into those high-end speaker cabinets, and instructables user billbob has resolved my curiosity. He covers electrical construction, but mainly focuses on making really stellar speaker boxes, and has tons of pictures and tips. I know just as well as anybody around here that electronics projects aren’t always that great looking, […]
Instructables user Plusea made an in-depth tutorial for constructing a fabric pressure sensor, perfect for using in garments and other soft places.
Quoth the Raven: This is a little device that I designed for the simple purpose of being discreetly annoying.

I have to try this out! Apparently all you need is an Arduino, a few resistors, some aluminum foil, and you can build a simple 3D interface. I really hope this works as well as it appears in the video. The basic goal here was to make a 3D position sensing system that most people […]
If you carry a lot of keys and don’t like that jingle-jangle in your pocket or on your ‘biner, this may be the solution. Instructables user pyro22 figured out how to embed keys in a mini multitool. Leave the tools you want, replace the others with keys! And, of course, you still have your pliers. […]

This is a bit of a finicky mechanical build, but worth the effort. It uses a standard BEAM bicore circuit as its brain (via the 74HCT240 […]
Dave Rocamora turned his old Ikea night table into a charging station for his gadgets, and made it an elegant lamp at the same time. He made a nice instructable about it, too, so with not much more than a router and utility knife, you can achieve the same look.
