Hey Shawn,Awsome you guys have chosen Curacao for a vacationstay! i'm sure you'll have a great time! I'll be honest, it isn't as "hot" as let's say 5 years back. Now that its allowed by authorities, everyone is doing it! Every diveschool offers a LFH (liofish hunt) dive special and basically every well known divespot is "exhausted".So you have to go a "little out of your way" for a decent catch... this means dusk and dawn dives, nightdives, hard to reach spots, semi-closed local beaches, our eastpoint and northshore.You have to be real experienced for north-shore diving here, it's rough! this is where all the current from the ocean hits our island, no beaches and strong currents. you can only do these when consitions allow and preferably, (but not necessai...

Hey Shawn,Awsome you guys have chosen Curacao for a vacationstay! i'm sure you'll have a great time! I'll be honest, it isn't as "hot" as let's say 5 years back.

Every diveschool offers a LFH (liofish hunt) dive special and basically every well known divespot is "exhausted".So you have to go a "little out of your way" for a decent catch... this means dusk and dawn dives, nightdives, hard to reach spots, semi-closed local beaches, our eastpoint and northshore.You have to be real experienced for north-shore diving here, it's rough! this is where all the current from the ocean hits our island, no beaches and strong currents. you can only do these when consitions allow and preferably, (but not necessaily) by boat.Eastpointdiving can oly be done by boat since that part of the island has no roads, no houses, no hotels, no nothing! thats why the reefs are better there and the hunting is better!I could give you a couple names of hard to reach/ local spots, but i'm pretty sure youre not going to find them (on any maps or anything!) thats why they stay a little better diving for us locals! :Pa couple secluded of locked beaches are pesh-bay, locked by a beam but you can squeeze your car through the side. The Cliff (as me and my friends called it) i a very hard to reach spot (without boat) but was always one of my favorites. Seldom reef, because its seldomly dived at. reachable by car when its not wet (need a 4x4 though). and Watamula or Playa Gepi are to the far nortwest point, where the southline sharply turns into our northshore (watch out for possible strong currents).I don't Lionfish that often antmore, since the catch is so minimal for a normal dive. there usually fairly small too so harder/ not worth the hassle for foodprep so even though i still take my zookeepr on every dive, if i really want a catch, i plan accordingly.Talk to locals is always a good one! i'm not talking about native locals, they dont dive... nor other tourist divers, talk to the diveinstructors at the local divestores (like youre sort-of doing now! :P), they are often active and fanatic lionfish hunters!hope this helped you out a bit! if you have any other questions, don't be shy! :-)

She loved it bro! especially when i told her it where her sisters pearls!

Awesome! looks really well made! good job!

Thanks! Fun making it too!

very cool how you showed the assembly with the help of your 'little friends'!

well, first off my appologies for such a late reaction... i'm not sure what happened...second, i don't do/ have twitter/ instagram/ snapstuff... i don't even like having a FB-account... Instructables is the only platform i'm active on!

really cool!

i like simplistic and modern look of it! (*imagining only white boards!)looks like you rushed the top though... meh...

I never realized how much i used and needed my belt-sander until it broke last summer... :-( so thats on there!Besides that; a steady, sturdy, level and big(ger as a plywood-sheet-size) woodworking bench!

don´t know if this thread is still active but if so;- Living- Outdoors- Workshop

Awesome! and soo big! :D

HAHAHAHHA makes for such a great user-thumbnail!!

we have deep wells too here on Curacao. i wouldn´t use it in any preservation/action though. Our well water contains high(er) amounts of calcium which raises th PH-levels considerably.Besides what Paige explains, theres alot of other impurity-possibilities in well water so i would have it tested before commencing on serious canning-action!If your just canning occasionally, just buy some distilled water!

Thanks!good idea! gives some nice tarnishing ideas with it!

maybe a fun idea to run a building-style contest? something like 'Last century crafting' (which would mean no 3d printing, no arduino, no CNC-ing) or a no-powertool-challenge.it might just get the inovative/ creative/ problem-solution-orientated people onto new ways of tackling certain 'problems'.

spring wire, dental wire, tyre wire, now were getting to the nitty gritty of it! :Pthnxz a bunch Mr. Ozzmaster!i'll have to give it a try in a couple of days, got a last-min offshore job the next 5 days to take care off... but i'll send you a quick update when times due! ;-)

that springy, corroded coil IS the only positive and negative connection. It's this super-simple conection-setup; the batteries in the coily-thing and both connectingpoints (+ and -) in the etchingpen (the blue part)(i hope you can see this in the first pic attached to this meggage). the white housing contains no metal parts.since it is so corroded i actually broke when i tried removing it from the battery. so now my only option is a replacement.so, i ran a copper wire to the front and yay; it works! :P now i just need something thin enough that will fit in the housing and conducts electricity well enough...

i gotta be honest, the instructables-contest are a big part of getting to those ideas that have been floating around for years! i think i'm on your page concerning the half-finished project that keep piling up..! normally i have about 8 project running at the same time. this has it advantages as i can switch easily when i'm bored of the other. but then again some projects never get finished...nowadays i try to only make things for other people, which is a great motivator! i'm currently constructing a fourth tree-of-life necklace; the fun has been gone after the first 2, but the people i'm making them for are soo happy once they get them, it makes it worth the hassle!it might also help to make projects for birthdays, as holiday presents and those sort of days!

Abosolutly beautiful!! the chain and stand finish give it a complete look!

thank you sam! always happy to hear from you!you could have responded in topic if you preferred, i have 'nothing to hide' and aren't afraid to be corrected if need be! ;)

How do I get help improving my Instructable?Ask the community for help in The Clinic.if you post you question in that topic, i'll bet you get a lot more people to respond!

:D you're very welcome! hope you enjoyed!

i always love these things, i bought em and gave these as presents. but making them yourself actually looks like a fun project! cheers

hey Natalina, how many Frankenbot-uploads did you get across all platforms? just curious!Additionally, Instructables staff will feature the best recreations of this papercraft project on our Twitter and Instagram Stories (and tag you, of course).any updates?!

did you really have to break this up into 3 seperate ´ibles? and if i'm correct even a fourth one is coming?! anyway... the candlewax is a smart add! never thought of that! that i will try, but as for all the food-waste trails... let's just say i'm not into 'fuzzy' peanuts! :P

Wow, thank you for the kind words!This isn't a difficult project, but it is very meticulous and can get to you is you stay weaving for too long! I'm already looking into making different hangers, earrings and other kinds of jewelry i can wire-weave myself to madness! :PYou wouldn't happen to have a picture of the tiara you made, i'm kinda intrueged now!

i really thought the main picture of your íble was a picture taken from a miniature or a diorama! really cool effect!

that looks amazing! well done!those little lips when the pod is closed! hahahh great!

found this screenshot in another forum-thread which is exactly the same. i think the problems comes around when trying to generate the main picture for the project. good luck!

patience is a virtue! your íble isnt up for a full day and you post in here already...nearly 260views and 6times favorited already in 24hours! i´m not sure what you expect but thats actually pretty good!

hahaha! thank you! :D

the awesomeness came all on itself; its frankenbot afterall! :Pthanks! :D

Thnank you Sam, i was actually surprised nobody had ever made one of Mr. Instructi-bot!

If you haven't seen these yet, I'd recommend checking out these resources regarding the featuring guidelines:https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-F...andhttps://www.instructables.com/topics/Featuring-Che...

as a dive instructor i urge you to read, heave and listen to rickharris' post.The most important things are to regulate the pressure and have clean air!maybe less cool and spy-y but why not just mount an airtube (gardenhose or something) on a floater, if its just about staying underwater...

i've had the same thing happen a couple times. probably cause the browser saves the webpage when you close and open. re-logging does the trick though.message is something in the lines of;"oops, we're unable to process your request at this time. please contact us to explain what you were doing at the time"something that it "didn't understand the request"hope it helps

it helps alot concerning the lay-out options you have. with pro you can imbed pictures in between your text which helps alot with some confusing parts in your 'ible. There are more 'html' codes useable but putting pictures in between text is the main advantage imo.

I really, really, really hope you guys aren't getting rid of the leathrman-prize... All your prizes are really good btw! So i'm a happy camper anyway you guys choose to go!

Thanks for creating!

those braincaps are genius! and the full costume in the 3rd pic is AWESOME!how great that you can incorporate your babies in your passion!

:D :D Thank you! never done anything like this before, so means a lot to me!

wow! very cool! deeply disturbing demonic delicacy!

after so many years still the best pet costume i can find! great job!

Beautiful!

Repairs, Recycle, Reuse, Multifunctionality, Creativeness

easily the weirdest thing ive seen so far... ! i like!

The 'pop'ability makes these awsesome!
