Thank you!

Good point!

If you've scrolled down far enough to read the comments, can I ask that you also check to see if the contest link is live yet, and give me a vote?

Thank you!

Thanks!(The vote button should be visible now...)

Who picks a snake up with pliers??And why shouldn't I use specialist corn snake substrate for housing a corn snake?Mites are only an issue if the cage is not cleaned regularly. Elsie has never had mites.

I beg to differ.

That's why I keep using the terms "her" and "she"...

Like this!https://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Beer-No1/

In this hide, and those like it, she's actually laying on the bedding, but her "bought" hide has a rough, sand-papery texture inside.The only preference she shows between the two is temperature - if the weather gets cold, she uses whichever is closer to the heater.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure, as it was "found" stick in the first place, but it was probably birch.

You would use a hydrometer.

Ah!I get what you mean - thanks for the idea!

These were powerful magnets, so it was like having a pair of pliers gripping in there. Smaller magnets should not be so much of a problem.

You can up-scale the plans, but you will probably need to borrow a lightsabre to cut them from sheet durasteel...

Haha!

It depends greatly on both their dexterity and how well they follow instructions - anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, but typically around 30-40 minutes.

Traditionally, you mix it with gunpowder and see if the gunpowder still lights (the source of the term "proof"), but, otherwise, this is probably your best bet:https://homedistiller.org/index.php/dilute/measure?mn=distill&pg=dilute&pd=measure

The symbol for "micro" is μ ("mu"), sometimes written as "u". So, "microFarads" is μF ("uF").

1. A steam car does not "run off water", it runs off the fuel used to boil the water. What was the fuel?2. "Electrolysis systems" do not run off water, they run off electricity in an inefficient manner (you would get much better mileage if you ran electric motors directly off the batteries, rather than losing energy at both the elctrolysis and urning stages). What power source was used to charge the batteries?3. An "HHO" generator is just an inaccurate name for an electolysis system (see 2). See aslo my many other posts on this project regarding the misconceptions surrounding the HHO/Browns gas mythology.

Sounds cool - don't suppose you have a video?

Haha!

You're the first person I've heard refer to New York as "civilised"...

Yay, he's back!Are you still in NYC, working remotely?

If I see a project that needs a lot of editing, I tend to PM the author and offer suggestions.

This topic should really be in Feedback, or even Bugs (@Jack - you can edit the topic to move it).I get this problem occasionally (the introduction of my last Instructable got eaten by the publishing process), so if I am going to do a long step, I tend to write it in a Word document first, so that I can replace it easily, just in case.

Oh... odd.

Best answer is "it depends" - the individual's reply may have gotten caught up in the filters, but, if you are in a message conversation, if you see the word "replied" in brackets beside a message title, that means *you* replied to *them*, not that they have sent a reply to you.

Health, happiness and successful Making to you all!

Cool.

How big a room do you need to fly this?

It tastes good as well!

Play-test, play-test, play-test.Write a bare-bones set of your rules, and a simple, short event or encounter. Run a group of friends through it, and make notes of issues as you go through the game, then get feedback off them.Rewrite your rules, and repeat.

It should activate within 24 hours of the payment going through (worth checking that as well).If it doesn't, drop an email to support[at]instructables.com with details of your payment etc.

Go to your "you" page, and you should see a "settings" button to the right of the page. Click it, or go to https://www.instructables.com/member/YOUR_USER_NAME/settings/, and you should be able to see a "change password" box.

Thank you

I think they're doing something to the site, as it is now "403", and my firewall doesn't mind.

My youngest "inherited" some technical pens that must have been over 20 years old.A thorough clean, and they were fine.

Meh, I have 234 unpublished instructables, but that's largely because I have more ideas than time - many of them are written, but not actually done.

My first thought is: this isn't Facebook.What you could do is start a micro-blog account like Twitter or Tumblr, and add a link to it in your profile. Add a link to your Instructables account in the micro-blog profile, and you will also drive more views to your work here.

Are you not over-thinking?Surely you just need two bars with a pivot?

A lot depends on how much they are expected to carry with them, both the weight and the size. Do you have any information on that?

Thank you for your kind words, but I am afraid that link triggers my firewall, so I cannot help you with it.

Haha, it's up to you, they're your fingers!

In all honesty, that would be what you call a couple of lost fingers, maybe an eye.

I meant the parts of the fastener.

Thank you for your kind words!I think the fastener you mean is a snap or pop fastener: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_fastenerDid you glue the parts on, or sew them?

I say "Maker & online author".

I'm not sure what you mean?

A VdG would be brilliant, and yes you will need to glue the foil on.

Sorry I took so long to answer, but I've only just seen your reply.The original bug was way back in 2011, but if you are having issues now, send an email with as much information as you can to service@instructables.com and they will try and fix it for you.

That's a shame.Did it work with a plain CD?

That's cool - thanks for sharing!

Wow, truly tricksy!

How did I not see this already?Wouldn't it work if you used a soda can with the ends cut off?

At the top-left of the topics list are options to sort by date the topic was posted, by the date of the last comment, or a mix of both.

Now, there's a challenge...

Here you go!

Interesting concept - were they created with a particular use in mind?

Might be worth moving this to Feedback.

I had a simple push cylinder mower.One day the cylinder stopped spinning. To fix it, I had to break it - there were no bolts or screws to open the mower. When I got to the part that was broken (a simple ratchet clutch), the actual part that took the whole load of cutting the grass was a scrap of injection-moulded plastic that engaged with a metal part and had worn away. I couldn't replace it because it had been moulded around another piece of metal.An entire mower killed by an unreplaceable part worth about 20p.

Reasons for not supporting their own work are many and various, but will probably include a change of email address or the author choosing not to be alerted about activity on their work.I do my best to respond to every single comment, and I am helped in this because I have set my alerts to ping me a summary once per day. Maybe this could be the default?The subject of "liking" comments has been raised several times over the years, and the general consensus has always been "this is not Facebook or YouTube", but maybe it's time to resurrect the Patch option, where you could send a digital thank you to an author, along with a pretty little picture to display on their profile? Here is an ancient forum topic to provide a little context:https://www.instructables.com/commun...

If somebody is going to spend several hundred thousand dollars to build a military vehicle in just a couple of weeks, I think they'll need a bit more motivation than you posting it on your page...

I agree with the sanding. Go back through my projects - not one has a smooth gloss finish...

Cool.

You're very welcome.

Good job I didn't counterfeit it then.I have not profited from this, my version is a different size, slightly different proportions, made from a different material, using a totally different technique.Mr Van Hoendonck has lost nothing, and actually gained traffic to his works, since I was careful to include a link to his website.

That's the useful stuff!The issue may have been fixed, though - I was just able to favourite that instructable, using Chrome.
