I have my first desk job in a number of years after being in the field for a while, and this is exactly what I need to make this cubicle-farm feel a little more festive. I'll post pics when I make it.

I honestly wasn't even sure whether it needed to be cooled, but Amazon put holes in the bottom, so I assumed it was just passive cooling.It's interesting that it picks up sounds better.I have a 3rd gen, and my older ones around the house are essentially intercoms for my kids' rooms. The 3rd gen does have a better mic, so I'm going to check out how to improve that on the 2nd gen models.This was just a quick little project, but you've given me much to consider now; thank you.

I prefer the aesthetic of having it hang below the outlet too. I really like how you hid the cord; how does it sound, and does it affect the passive cooling?

I'm glad you didn't take offense. It's great work.

It's a gorgeous machine, and very well documented.I feel the handle breaks the aesthetic, but otherwise I'd have that as a showpiece.q

I didn't have pinching, although were I to do it again, I'd snap a chalk line, and use a jigsaw.

We're about a month in from this project, and it isn't even cracking and it's hot every time the car's parked. This is concrete, not plaster.

A wire hanger, or 5 would probably work, I never really had the forethought because it was a last minute decision to keep the piece 5 feet long. Smaller pieces would've allowed better drainage, and wouldn't have broken.

I think the inside of a pool noodle only has a 1" hole. PVC pipe is relatively inexpensive, and multiple smaller pieces would probably be better. Thanks for commenting.

Once my daughter passes drivers ed. I might even stencil her name onto it. Thanks for your comment.

... And cheap!Thanks for checking it out.

I have a ball hanging in front of my wife's car, but I drive a convertible, and back in, so it suits my need.The project was mainly for my daughter's car, and I had enough cement for both mixed. You're right though, if my garage was for more than parking, I'd likely trip on it all the time.

I've been away from my instructables for a while, but that looked like a really great idea. I have Daughters, and so, subsequently I have loom bands all over the house from the fad passing through 3 age groups. Loom bands are perfect for this. They're small, and so discreet, as well as coming in lots of colors to match the headset. My kids never used the black ones so it was perfect. They're also small enough that you can add multiple bands, and fine-tune the resistance you need against the clip. Great suggestion!

That's pretty cheap, and for most people that'd be ideal. The point in my instructable at the time was more to do with the hook on mine breaking, and I needed a fix. Much like most of what I throw together, it's not really about saving the money, as much as feeling like I've accomplished something, and fixed it on the fly.

I had the same issue after using mine for about a week. I wound up putting a thin layer of glue on the bare metal of the hook, and it held the earpiece straight. I used hot glue, but if you have a latex glue that'd work better I think. Just remember to let it dry before clipping it on, it's only meant to grip better, not to stick it permanently.

Thanks, I wish I'd had a lighter gray, but I was pleased. I hope to do more with different designs.

I occasionally like to make wands with my kids, I've always thought about documenting the process after I've finished, so they never get uploaded. Over the past few years I've made Voldemort's wand, Dumbledore's wand, Miss Granger's wand, and McGonogall's wand. I use dowels for the base, and add paperclay, and hot-glue. The jewel on the end of my McGonogall wand is a broken lite-brite peg. I'm better with additive sculpting than I am subtractive, so I appreciate what you did with yours.

It may vary by state, or country. I was always under the impression that the first cert was 12 years, and re-certs are only good for additional 4, or 5 years. I wasn't sure, that's why I didn't specify. There are lots of reasons it's good to know about your tank, and knowing is half the battle when it comes to not getting ripped off. Thanks for your comment.

I agree, however this idea was convinced of necessity. I thought I had small party favor boxes in the house, but it turned out I didn't. In the box where I thought they were was a small stack of Christmas cards that my wife bought years ago, so I used them.If you're going to recycle old cards, I wouldn't suggest using them for food, just because you don't really know how clean they are (especially if they ever contained money. Gross!) You can also play with the measurements to fit your needs. Thanks for the support.

How hot does the coffee pot get? Also, how do you stop smoke from escaping the box? I would expect pressure to build with the pump forcing the air only one way. I thought about a similar project for cheese, but the cheese would need a couple of hours, and I thought the lid of the box would leak, or pop.

I guess I'm lucky but there's one less that 200yds from my house.Being as this hack is though, you can use the boxed supermarket doughnuts, as even day-old ones are good this way.Good luck with that genie.

I hadn't considered the heat gun. I shall try that, I have another bottle lying around somewhere. Thanks for the tip.

I've done that too for paper labels. I find that the plastic labels' adhesive doesn't dissolve the same way though. I've even used gasoline for removing labels, but then they tend to smell bad for a while :)

WD-40 is great too. I often find scrubbing pads that are impregnated with soap are the best (like Brillo).

I know this is an old instructible now, but I have a question based on a project I'm thinking about utilizing PC fans.What's the noise level like on this fan? As I know that sometimes PCs get loud, and I'd imagine that with 16 fans (more than I'm planning on using) it'd be unbearable in a small enough area that it'd be useful.Also, what's the power consumption if you're using a PC power supply?

For a while. It has a tendency to work lose now that it's been a few months.
