I'm using Firefox (up to date).I get no error messages, I just click on discussions, drafts, inbox etc and get sent directly to the front page.Interesting update: my browser automatically updated a few minutes ago, and this is the first time in weeks that I haven't had to delete my cache & cookies to reply to a comment.

Will you also be fixing the bugs that currently mean I have to clear my cache and cookies *every* time I want to look at almost any part of the site?

It's getting (getting?) annoying, having to clear my cache & cookies every time I visit the site.

These are wonderful pieces - bravo!

...and the bug is back...:-(

Seems to be fixed now?

Not so far, no.

Oops, "museum" was a predictive text error!

Like I said, this is just my opinion, but I might want to hear how it sounds, and that it really works.There are at least four videos of me blowing different noise-makers, but there are at least two "whistles" I have made from good-looking online instructions that didn't actually work

Could you, please?

I got the email alert for your PM, but this redirecting bug is stopping me looking at my actual inbox.Those standards are *old*, and very basic - three steps plus pictures has been the minimum for... years. You asked "why would I need images showing how I designed it?"My personal answer would be "because that's interesting". I love to see the "creative journey" people take. If there are pencil sketches before the digital design, I like to see those, and see how the final product differs from the original thoughts.Other folk might like to see whether your approach was worth adopting, or adapting.Putting my teacher or contest judge hat on, I'd like to see evidence that the idea is *yours*, and the best evidence for that is to see the design process.That's not...

Please poke them - this is a major useability issue for the people creating your content.

Do you remember, ages ago, the contest to create projects with specific titles?That's how I ended up writing my highest-viewed project, so maybe we could try that again?

At the museum moment, ibles are only source material, but I hope to start the kids publishing this coming term.

Hey, Jess,I'm a teacher. I've been here a while, but I'm now in a position to deliberately push students to the site as part of their homework, and I will soon be getting them to sign up and create teir own instructables of projects we do in class.

It's the same for me on all devices.I saw the site was down for a while yesterday, I thought that was folk fixing stuff, but I'm now unable to get to my draft projects!Any idea when it's going to be fixed?

Huh?Where are these "standards"? I haven't seen them...?

I didn't use a template. I just started with three lines drawn 120 degrees around a point, and built out from there. I you want a "proper" template, check out the link in step two.

:-(

Don't feel bad: https://xkcd.com/1053/

You're welcome!

You're very welcome!

I'm sure every image interests somebody, but I'm personally interested in Tower Bridge.

Oh, very cool.Is there a chance you could upload the files for the actual cards?

How did you paint him?

I've passed this on to the bug-stompers.

Any specific links?

"Thou Shalt Post!"

That's entirely up to you! We did a lot of hand-waving and holding lumps of metal at the right height while the other person sketched directly onto the metal.

As they say; google is your friend.Alternatively, rulers and tape measures can be bought with both imperial and metric measurements.For example: https://amzn.to/2GBabce or https://amzn.to/2E0jQ8h

Thank you!

Thank you!

Ugh, seeing it online, I realise the proportions of the lid are all wrong... :-(

Yes it is still a thing, yes there is a list, but, no, you can't see it (it's secret to stop spammers circumventing it).

Oh, that's awesome!

I think that sounds like a brilliant idea! Let me know how it goes, eh?

As I said elsewhere, I clean forgot to add it - I was working from a photo of a print, not from the original build, and spent so long remaking it to be laser-cut, it simply slipped my mind to go back and hunt for the source of the photo.The link is now added.

Because I forgot - I spent so long making and remaking it into a version that worked as a laser-kit kit, I clean forgot about the source (I have a pile of failed versions sitting by my laser).Thanks for including the link now.

CC-BY-NC-SA is the default setting here.It should be changed now...

Oh, that's very cool!

I see it there.

Try it, let me know how it works out?

By "edge on", I meant that the edge with the hole in would cast its shadow onto the inside of the opposite side of the ring.I haven't been back to this project (the maths hurt my brain), but your point about hanging is interesting - thinking back, I don't think I made allowances for the missing mass of the hole the light shines through. Maybe that side was "light", and tipped upwards?

Sorry, that comment was to somebody who had a free account, several years ago.The advice is similar, though - drop an email to support@instructables.com, using the email address associated with your instructables account.They will sort things out for you.

The thread is to turn the gauze into a bag.This bag contains the biomass, and fits over the end of the rubber bung.The rubber bung has a hole all the way through it (if you're looking in a lab supply catalogue, look for "drilled bung") - the steam goes up fro the water, through the gauze, through the biomass, and then through the hole in the bung and the tube.Hope that makes things clearer?

Oh, good catch - there were hiccups when I published, but I've added the file now.

The files are now up - remember to post a photo of your build, but please do not sell kits or finished versions of the shade.

Done - see the final step!

A hobby... or a PhD?

Awesome - have fun!

Sort of.It was supposed to be hidden from view, sent only to people who had already bought the parts, but I accidentally shared it, and now people are reading it...

Thank you!

I totally get that, and I invite you to browse the rest of my 265 projects and see that for almost every single one I share the files.I actually wrote this instructable well over a year ago, but had it set to "private", and only shared it with people who bought the parts, but I have had a number of requests to see the instructions public, so here they are.

Thank you!

Shhhh!Actually, I have been selling stuff for several years, and the only time I've had an objection was from Fox TV.

Actually, I've decided to share the files, but I need to re-draw them into a format that is more user-friendly. Give it a few days, then come back and see...

Hehe, in Spring & Summer I sell these as "sun catchers", in the Autumn and Winter I sell them as Christmas ornaments. and gifts.

You are very welcome - that is the point of the site, after all!

... and plenty of ventilation!

It's very much a prototype for others to advance - I used plywood, and the dimensions on the templates are only approximate.As a group, between you, you should have the skills to recreate this, or something similar, in the materials you have available.

Reality sucks sometimes.

Thank you!

You could, but the original version of the game has large, heavy playing pieces.

You'd have to ask Troy - google for "Troy Hurtubise bear suit".

Hello, you're back?There are no poisonous snakes in the USA. In fact, I have never heard of any poisonous snakes. Anywhere.

Absolutely!

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?
