So, i work in a studio, we do alot of artworking, we're all creative types.

The actual studio is pretty nice, we have our own fridge, we all have decent computers, but recently we had the end wall put in place. Which for a few months has been rather bare.

I found this 'window cut outs' of some printed folder we had been doing, and thus, the Cut Here Door was invented.

I used a simple plumb line to get it all straight (a pair of hefty paper scissors, and some string)

I measured one of our doors for size, then went about sticking the small bits of card to the wall using double sided tape.

I then cut out a large pair of scissors from one of the folders to match.

Somehow, this reminds me of the "Draw a door" scene in "Beetlejuice".

same here! It would be humongus and I'd put it in the "game room" with masking tape on it andit would say DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON!!!

I have this humongous flat red switch from an ooooold computer (386, I think). I will install it as the switch to something awesome someday. I just can't figure out what. Maybe my car. Or a light switch. Hmm.

A real panic button to siren or something ?
Lithium Rain in reply to GoodhartDec 29, 2008. 4:15 PM
Ooo. Good idea! I can see it now. I'll get a siren, and a big flashing light...

perfect!

Not even 2 hours after reading your comment I found the image while researching something unrelated.... It was fate. _
vernors in reply to crickle321Jan 27, 2009. 1:04 PM
make it. all you need is some acrylic, PVC pipe, some spray paint and maybe a stencil.

Is this what you have in mind?

Lithium Rain in reply to kelseymhDec 19, 2008. 10:09 AM
Is that from a place you've worked on? Or did you ~~steal it~~ do a google image search?
kelseymh in reply to Lithium RainDec 19, 2008. 10:49 AM
It's from SLAC. I stole the image from one page of the safety training program we all take in order to work there.
Lithium Rain in reply to kelseymhDec 19, 2008. 10:58 AM
We need pictures of SLAC. Actually, IDK about anyone else. I need pictures of SLAC. I'm suffering from SLAC imagery deficiency. :D

Lithium Rain in reply to kelseymhDec 19, 2008. 11:42 AM
Hahaha!

Oh, the humiliation...sorry, Nacho...
kelseymh in reply to Lithium RainDec 19, 2008. 11:52 AM
And I didn't even set rudeness level 5 :-)

Hopefully some of those pictures will be useful to you. I sort of like the "Virtual Visitors Center", but it's mostly words and drawings.
zack247 in reply to kelseymhJun 27, 2010. 12:54 AM
wow, to read the incredibly small text, i had to zoom in 400%!
Lithium Rain in reply to kelseymhDec 19, 2008. 12:23 PM
Go ahead and set it-Nacho kindly sanitized level 5. ;P

They are nice! Thank you. :-)
vernors in reply to kelseymhDec 18, 2008. 2:33 PM
sort of only 1 switch, bigger, and pointless.
kelseymh in reply to vernorsDec 18, 2008. 4:16 PM
Well, pointless is in the eye of the beholder :-)

There's technically only one button on our beam-stops: The middle one is a key control to reset it, and the top one is a red light so that security knows which one was pressed (in the 5+ miles worth of beamline tunnels).

Check out McMaster-Carr= items 66185K61 (pictured) and 66185K71. Pricey, but I think they're what you need for your next project :-)

mg0930mg in reply to GoodhartDec 28, 2008. 3:10 PM
Just use the Evil button i'ble. I should so do that. I will!
Goodhart in reply to mg0930mgDec 28, 2008. 3:40 PM
Or Kipkay's instructable....I would like to again make the voice recorder from scratch (with the chip) but it is getting harder to find one that is not a surface mount (SOT) package.....I can't solder those
mg0930mg in reply to GoodhartDec 28, 2008. 4:38 PM
Oh. Kipkay's i'ble. I'll have to look for that.
Goodhart in reply to mg0930mgDec 28, 2008. 4:54 PM
There is a link in the comments on the Evil button ible
mg0930mg in reply to GoodhartDec 28, 2008. 5:41 PM
Oh it's not an i'ble but a video. OK, thanks goodhart.
Goodhart in reply to mg0930mgDec 29, 2008. 7:20 AM
True, but from there I believe he links to his instructions too, right?
mg0930mg in reply to GoodhartDec 29, 2008. 1:33 PM
I don't know, I didn't watch it. Kipkay should make an i'ble about it. HINT HINT. KIPKAY WHERE ARE YOU?

I always wanted to cut a shape in a wall between rooms that looks like a cartoon character blasted through it

Yeah, you can make an easy enough fake hole, using torn paper.
