Do-nothing Machine

Step 6 Finishing Up

1) Now look at the ends. You will see that they are not very well aligned. Some of the layers stick out from the base and others are too short. Finding that corner we marked again you should see that this is the best of all the sides with the layers line up fairly well. Using this side against the fence cut the other sides with a miter or table saw. You will want to cut every side and use each previously cut side against the fence. You may also want to measure so that it remains square. This is not important and is merely aesthetic.

2) Go to a sanding table and round the corners if you like.

3) Now you can either attach the cabinet handle to the lever or make an ellipse. Yes that is right I have found a use for this machine. See the video below. It's fun for about 2 minutes then I went and put the handle on. With a washer the handle fits over the 1/4 inch hole. I would advise against drilling the 1/4 inch hole and just go for the handle, making ellipses is not that fun.

You now posses the Do-nothing Machine. Enabling you to do nothing anytime you wish. This is great to show to family and friends and then explain how much time you spent building it and how it does nothing. Of course you could always show how it makes ellipses but that would be ruining the fun...

Listen to it hum as it does nothing...
