Cheers Junophor.

That's because you and your sister are awesome!

Thanks bud.

Thanks man

Yeah your right - as it's nylon sting, the guitar just sounds louder. Steel sting though you would get a great sound out of it. If I was to try this again I would buy a small, portable amp and hack that as the sound will be louder and it would make the project easier.Good luck.

I did contemplate for some time about learning the art of bookbinding too. I've many a beautiful book that has seen better days and I have repaired them as best that I could. You should do an Instructable on how to bind a book, or maybe on how to fix a damaged one.

Love the idea guys! I have a 6 month old cat who has been using the couch as his personal scratching board! This will hopefully stop her personal vendetta against my poor couch!

Here we go. For some reason though this cooper pipe is measured in inches; even in Australia where metric has been used for ever1. 1 X 3/4" x 1.5m Copper Tube = 19.05mm 2. 1 X 1/2" x 1.5m Copper Tube = 12.7mm

good advice.

I pity you sir for you will never have the chance to wield a device of such awesome power.

I was inspired by those types of lighter. Actually, I have made a trench style lighter before in another ible'

hahaha - every single word is true - I promise

yeah I think I know what you mean - kinda like a steampunk screwdriver look

muchas gracias

settle down - obviously I was being facetious. I've made 108 ibles' and have taken advice from the community on most of my projects.

good idea! - I think I might

I take that back! I thought it was working ok as I was getting a reading but it was intermittent. I tried a 12v battery and only got voltage. I've had a play around with the wiring to try and get the amps to work and I'm having issues getting it to display. If you (or anyone else) have any ideas then please let me know how I can get the voltage and amperage to both work.

cheers! Yeah it's a pretty simple build but does the trick

Semantics :)

Hey Tominaz - it seems to be working ok wired up this way. The diagram is exactly how I wired-up the power supply.

cheers!

Muchas Gracias :)

Excellent! - sounds like you have a good system going. Can't to see the end results

mmm... maybe. Although the paper might become hard to cut through as you get deeper into the book. I found that once the glue and paper set and I was cleaning-up the insides, the paper/glue became very hard to cut with the blade.

Great job on the repair. I was also going to add a similar lid and use a small fishing hook with the barb removed. The tube that I used however has quite a large diameter and the rope is quite lose in the tube. Using a screw helps to secure the rope.

what photos? Not too sure if you posted them.

I love the simplicity as well. Such a clever idea. I used sash cord which is cotton rope used on curtains. You should be able to find it at any hardware store. Here is where I got mine from

What a shame that you lost it. I have heard about this type of lighter being used in the trenches. You should definitely make one! Congrats on being a great grandfather as well.

Nice tip man - thanks. didn't know you could do this with copper.

No dude - your awesome! Thanks for making my day

Cool - no probs. If you get to make one don't forget to post some pictures in the comment section.

Your da man Tarun

anytime - thanks for checking it out!

Great idea! It would definitely make a great jewelry box. when you make one i'd love to see how yours turned out.

Good point. Definitely remove it before adding heat. The little springs don't like being heated-up and can lose their flexibility.

correctamundo. The cap staves the ember of oxygen and it pretty much goes out straight away. Thanks for the vote too

Cheers

Thanks dude

nice one. where did you wire the amp into?

cheers

thanks for the vote :)

I don't have any real issues with evaporation. The dome bolt I use for the wick seems to work a treat

Actually the drill I found down the tip and already had the name on it. Amazing what people are willing to throw away really.

boom boom!

Cheers. It's just normal everyday solder. I use flux in paste form to ensure a good connection.

The cases look great. Cool idea also about the switches on the pots. I have another Intercom case that I'm going to use and will def add these features in as well.Thanks for Posting

Thanks for the heads-up. I've updated now

Honestly, you could made one with some files, sandpaper and metal polish. It will take a little longer but the finish would be the same.

Cheers!

Yeah Agreed. I also included a link in the ible' to just such a nut.

Thanks! I was thinking of re-visiting this ible' again soon to make a different version of it.

Love a good robot voice. You can also tap into the mic on these and have it so it's live, not recorded. That would be a cool feature to use as a voice changer. The data sheet shows you how to do this pretty easily. in regards to using some of the hacks - go for it. This is why i posted it for :)

Cheers Seamster! It's been a blast.

Sorted - thanks

There was an output plug that came with the intercom. it was a 2.5mm jack so I removed this. Plus it wouldn't have been any use to the project. I replaced it with a 3.5mm jack which is the input audio plug
