Lasers are a great tool for those who didn't get decent "shop" classes at school - a school near me has actually made all its "technology" teachers redundant; woodwork, metalwork, textiles, food and computing will no longer be taught there, dismissed by the head teacher as "hobby subjects".

I've posted two more since this project, but magnet-related.

If it gets hot, stand it in a bowl of water - a jet-powered kettle!

I'm not sure I have the patience...

No, aluminium does not block [stationary] magnetic fields - it will block a moving magnetic field, like radio waves, because physics, but a stationary field (ie a permanent magnet) can "reach" through non-ferrous materials as if they were not there.

LOL

Do you still have this problem?If so, do you have it on all your devices?

I got mine on ebay, but they're available on Amazon as well (link).

Thank you for your kind remarks!

You can always use an online service, or find out where your nearest makerspace or hackspace is and ask them if you can use theirs.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Yup - the contest description says;For the sake of this contest, a "Tiny Home" will be defined as a home that is 1,000 square feet or less. Examples of tiny homes can include treehouses, yurts, converted shipping containers, vans, trailers, and cabins. Of course you are not limited by these examples, and we want to see your personal creations!

Maybe send a message directly to the instructable's author, see if they can send you a copy?

Restricting the flow of oxygen and nutrients to parts of your body is not a healthy thing to do.

There's a link to buy them in step 2.

It was a laser cutter. They've attached the files that can be used.

Oh, my word, that is awesome!

I don't think it's a good idea to fill the tank of a pod machine with milk...

They use lasers. To cut things.Google & YouTube are your friends in this quest for knowledge.

You fiddle with it, to occupy your hands or to distract yourself. Some people find them calming.

True - I'd have most likely just propped the corner up on a brick, or maybe cut a circle out of plywood...

If you're using magnets inside your clothing, you might even get away with casting a piece of steel into the pewter?

Yes, I believe it would - the magnet should embed in the same way as the acrylic window, but will probably need added glue, because the pewter might not adhere well to the smooth magnet.

Thank you!A top prize would be cool, of course, but even the basic prize pack is worth winning!

I think they allow the pipe to be turned in steps 3 & 4.

Just... WOW!You've got my vote!

A template of what?

http://bfy.tw/Ily4 ?

Carefully take yours apart to learn how it works, then copy that?

Yes - I don't think people were using it very much.Instead, if you start a new topic, add "feedback" to the tags.

Haha!

I have no idea how to answer your question, but I am sure that even MySQL experts will need more details than that.

Since you're going to use a different method, you could write your own instructable!

Cool, glad I was a help.

Cool!

You're welcome.

There are some already on the site - I have yet to design a decent one myself, though.

If you are careful, you can heat a needle and burn a hole through the wood.

Thank you!

Look for "Blu Tack" (note the lack of an "e" on Blu).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_Tackhttps://amzn.to/2LZUgnf

Have you got a link?

You're very welcome - Thanks for sharing the picture!

You're welcome!Please, post pictures of what you make!

Have you tried searching for photo boothes?https://www.instructables.com/howto/photobooth/https://www.instructables.com/howto/photo+booth/

Thanks for those points - I have also heard that you can clamp the MDF really tightly to make it bow in slightly and hold in thinner acrylic.

With a low-detail piece like this, the MDF looks fine for another go. My other badge* was only a one-shot mould, though.I don't know if that's because of the greater detail, or because I heater the pewter to a higher temperature (it seemed more "watery" when I poured it).*https://www.instructables.com/id/Cast-Pewter-Robot-Badge/

I bought mine from (UK) Ebay, a single one-ounce ingot that is less than half-gone with the two badges I have made so far.I do know that a lot of UK high schools do this as a project in Resistant Materials ("shop"?) lessons - some laser the moulds, others hand-cut the MDF, depending on what skills the school wants to develop (or whether they own a laser cutter). (BTW, do you see at the very top of the page where it says "Teachers"? If you haven't clicked it yet, do so now.)

Enameling sounds interesting, but don't you need to bake enamels? I worry that the pewter would melt again.

You ought to - once I'd worked out how to do the detailing, it was less than an hour from switching on my laser cutter to wearing the finished badge.

Haha, I don't know about "master", I'm still getting good tips off folk. I'm wondering next about more complex shapes that might need vents...

I know - I've been meaning to try this for well over four years, maybe five or six. I'm glad I did now, Robot looks very good on the lapel of my dark grey suit!

I've entered this in the Casting Contest - if you've enjoyed reading it, I'd appreciate a vote!

Thank you - it is a lot easier than I was expecting!

Thank you!

There is no extra content in the PDF than there is in the instructable you see on the screen.

Yay, well done!

Love it!

Hey, is there an example of your work we can watch?

Thank you!

I've been running this in my head, and wouldn't movement #100 work?The single disc+peg could be extended into a cam-shaft (see my horrible sketch), and you could print the entire mechanism as one piece.http://507movements.com/mm_100.html

Very cool - a decent vortex cannon has been on my to-do list for a very long time.Have you seen this version?

Steps 5 & 6 explain the knots you need.

The author can't fix that - you need to send an email to support@instructables.com

Inkscape works fine with DXF files, and its a free download from Mozilla.

Remove it and return it to the owner. If you know the owner well, you may want to lick the thumb clean of milk, but if the owner is a relative stranger, you may want to add a sarcastic comment on a post-it note.

Plants photosynthesise, consuming CO2, but they also respire, producing CO2.(British hospitals used to take plants out of wards at night, thinking that the plants would consume oxygen the patients needed.)

Cool - I'll look for the update!

Wait, this project has been on the site for well over a year - how did I not see it??Thanks, Spark!

"Not easily" is not the same as "not at all".The concern seems to be from the photos in step 12. The sludge is mostly yellow-brown.Copper-based chemicals tend to be shades of blue or green (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals#S...), so people have assumed that the sludge is made of chromium salts from the stainless steel. However, chromium salts are strong shades of red, purple, bright orange and almost fluorescent yellow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium#Compounds).The chromium is more reactive than iron or nickel (stainless steel can be an alloy of all three), so will be the first yellow-brown colour is probably made up of iron salts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_chloride) ,with other contaminants from the tap water and the equipment....

You just need to go through the text again, because you still mention stainless steel in places.
