Have you built one yet? Because I lost mine a few months ago and I'm going to make a new one and was wondering if you came up with any cool ideas.But here's an addition - a rotary encoder! They are so satisfying to turn!

But if they knock... I don't think I'll ever do this, just a thought.And if I ever passed wires through our house, I'd make sure to make it worth the effort by adding a camera!

Where did you buy small LED lights? Can you send me a link? Thank you!

Looks great!

No, there are I'bles on pallet wood cutting boards that I've reported and I don't think they have been removed.But the force being magnified is a good point, maybe you shouldn't make a very long one. I thought the issue was with the bearings though. I just got a small drill press last week so I don't want to make any mistakes too!

I need a doorbell that works similar to this. A light that lights up in my room when people ring our doorbell or knock on our door because if my door is closed and I'm with headphones drilling into steel... That proximity sensor or whatever it is, is a great idea so people don't have to touch it so I get notified. Just get close to the door!

What do you mean? You can't create an account?

I believe you missed the fact that WHAAAAAT YOU MADE CHRIS FROM CLICKSPRING LIKE YOUR INSTAGRAM POST!!!

Aluminum blocks magnetic fields almost completely, right? I wonder if you could find an aluminum container easily somewhere around the house. Maybe for those huge 100s of kilogram magnets. But cardboard is a great idea, I'll have to keep that in mind!

+1!

...Also why did you stop linking to the amazon page of the prizes in the contest page?

Awesome, you should post an Instructable if you haven't already!I don't think UV and yellowing should be such an issue though, it's not like it's going to be in full sunlight 8 hours a day 365 days a year... I don't think you should worry about it.

I never thought I'd see someone recreate a Clickspring project! Did you send him a picture? You should!

Smart! I thought the knob would disengage from the threaded rod threads under load but looks like it works fine! I would definitely need quite a stiff drill press to make these though.

Why not just use water?

I've also had success using a hacksaw on a really old clamp. But my new bar clamps have bigger grooves and a triangular file might do the trick since they are starting to slip. Thanks for the idea!

Spray paint them?

What exactly is that? Looks awesome. Maybe if you step on it and it get's a lot wear: shoes, sand, dirt, water, you should consider a thin coat of epoxy resin?And don't forget to apply on both sides.

Nice. It would be cool to have different colored EL for different times of day, like light blue for AM and orange for PM except for nigh time...

Yes, that was a problem. Most of the time I remembered but I would always forget if I wasn't concentrated or held something heavy and wanted to clamp it down ASAP - quite frustrating... But I took apart because I ended up not using it a lot because these vises are used pretty much only for dovetailing...BTW if you're a woodworker you really need to change your last name... :)

I don't know because I don't have a Kindle, but this is usually the problem. Maybe search on Youtube how to replace the battery.

...How about animal homes?

Your puns rock. I can't stand how no-one has congratulated you on these.

If your battery is old it might not hold its charge as long, maybe you should buy a replacement.

Oops, forgot to update! This video I made is almost dedicated to you! :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVB6hwe6h2UThough I'm not sure exactly what I'll do when I make a new workbench that I don't want to ruin...

Found this

Didn't it come with instructions?Watch a few Youtube videos on it...

I do not understand what you mean. Can you ask at a different website?

Great. I typed up quite a long reply and my computer crashed. Now you're lucky, you don't have to read it :)Watched a few videos and turns out this chip is pretty smart for its price!...A total of $3.60 with 2 chips left over for future projects, thanks! :)https://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-Case-Holder-Stora... and https://www.ebay.com/itm/3pcs-TP4056-1A-Li-ion-BMS... x2 in case anyone needs it.

Yup, which is why after posting my comment I changed my mind and will buy parts to make one that charges two batteries - I believe my biggest 5V power supply can supply only 3A...It's also half the price and how could I say no to paying half as much... :)Don't like using USBs as I'm limited by the amount of USB chargers I own that aren't eBay-bought phone killers and chinese cords that can actually supply enough current, so it's great I can connect it to a power supply too!

Why would you need that?

Great idea. I might do this to the flashlight on my helmet, it's a cheap mini red micro-usb charging flashlight. But I'm scared of shorting so I'll make the mount like a male/female connector with magnets. I don't know if leaving it charged in 24/7 will ruin it though...

Same!I actually have a list for stuff to do before and after publish Instructables and before and after I publish YT videos so here's part of it...Before:Choose a proper title for each stepPaste the Outro in the end"What You'll Need": add links & add bullet pointsGo over all of the pictures and make sure I didn't forget any tools or materialsChoose a titleChoose a thumbnail & add textEmbed YT videoSpell check & full preview: arrange picturesTagsPublish!After:Add to "Promoted I'bles", on my profile page...Add to collectionsShare: people, social media, etc...Download PDF (backup)I keep adding and removing stuff all the time but that's basically what it is... :)

Tip: Make a checklist for stuff you need to do before hitting publish, checking for typos, optimizing the title, etc... I can share my list if it helps you...

Good point, I wouldn't have thought of that!

If you place the vacumm cleaner on a piece of metal, will it short the battery out?

Oooh... A face shield with built-in Bluetooth headphones... Gives me ideas :)

Looks like new, nice! Congrats on winning! :)

Pro-tip: Cut open a spray paint can instead of WD-40, you'll get a free steel ball that was inside to help mix the paint :)

Great use for a hand plane iron... Or blade... Whatever it's called!

I see two posts now, you can delete one :)

I think this might help: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-turn-your-...

Instructables search is totally broken. Many of my I'bles don't show up when they are, and some show up where they aren't supposed to show up.I think rarely anyone uses I'bles search. But as Seamster says you're already ranking on Google for a random search like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=How+to+use+verowir...I say don't bother looking at I'bles search, your views aren't going to come from there, they'll come from the explore page, Google search over time, and maybe also Pinterest or the Instructables newsletter.I have no idea what verowire is, but it does get searched in Google ~100 times a month so you could get quite a few views if you're ranking...

So it's a kind of "ink", that makes paper very sensitive to heat where it's applied?Can't find anything like that :(

Nice jigsaw table! You could probably also fit a circular saw inside too, to make a tablesaw. Maybe even a router too if you have one!

I say locking folding knife, because it does both but point of the knife if that it folds, not locks - all normal knives are locked.Unless you meant that as a joke :)

Moving the spring forward - so simple and obvious I didn't think of it!Maybe even make it adjustable so it can be adjusted to the weight of more than one person.

What actually happens when I upvote? Does it just increase the number of upvotes, or does it also bump the comment up?

The front jaw isn't really connected to anything, so you have to move it manually. But it takes only half a second and you get used to it/don't notice yourself actually doing it.(Note: I've taken it apart because I ended up not actually needing it for the projects that I do)And don't use a turnbuckle. The left/right-hand thread makes it not very user friendly.

Check your inbox :)

If the spring is too powerful, maybe you could add a tension spring to help resist the force

Adding another 1 year premium membership to the first person to donate $20 from me if that's ok with you!

Instructables inbox? Mine works on Chrome.

You can get free plastic diffusing sheets from old laptop/TV/phone screens. I have a collection of a few different kinds which I've used a few times so far.You can also get slightly diffused, pretty thick acrylic sheets from PC screens, I think my thickest one so far was 14mm. They are also pretty easy to diffuse more.

I use the built in photography editor/enhancer on my Windows computer which works pretty well. but I've heard you can make a preset in Adobe Illustrator illustrator and apply it to all of your photos, to save a ton of time.(After editing) example pic:

I use that sometime too, but I was referring to something else, a preset that you make, and then you can "paste" it onto all of your photos, so you don't have to edit each one manually. It probably doesn't turn out as good, but you can always edit them later anyway. All photos always lack bit of brightness, saturation, and sharpness :)

Contact support(at)instructables(dot)com, they reply pretty quickly.

Couldn't find it, but it seems like Zlatan has replaced him. There are memes about him that are pretty funny. (there are ones that are way funnier than this: https://pics.me.me/thumb_zlatan-fact-101-when-zlatan-left-for-collegehe-told-hs-9672336.png)

Hmmm... I started typing a reply and then my computer restarted and I can't remember what I wrote...Makes sense, it's simpler than I thought. It's an old drill, so the capacitor probably dried up which made it short, and then it exploded. Luckily I have a relative that's an EE, so we replaced the capacitor with two smaller (ceramic? tantalum?) ones, and then another one... Because apparently it doesn't hurt.I bet you can sense the incredibe amount of knowledge I have in this subject...

Laura Kampf's new workshop, search for it on Youtube.

PICTURES:Making sure the next capacitor won't explode is probably a different story...

When I clicked on the email to reply, it said the email was from 0 minutes ago :)

I must admit I don't remember reading this I'ble, nor do I remember commenting on it, but I still agree with my comment from almost 3 years ago :)

You might be able to also screw those flat 90 degree shelf brackets behind it, it could help stop it from rocking back and forth, depending on how large you make it...

Oh, I see now you wrote $4.95 each. So maybe the 10-pack I saw for $20 isn't that bad. Maybe it costs less because it's Chinese carbide...

Do you by any chance have a link to the listing/square cutters you bought? I can't stand having to sift through Alibaba's minimum 10KG order and innability to sort by price! Thanks!I have a bunch of ideas for projects/Instructables with them and need only a few, not a 10-pack which is only what I can find on eBay... :)

I came here to reply to your comment, and now I realize that after hearing that name so many times, I have no idea who he is. Long story short, I Googled him and have no idea what you mean!

Where did you get them for so cheap?! Been searching forever!

Must be a bug. Try step 1 again now.

But what does it actually do? Make it more airodinamic?

Interesting. Speaking of melting plastic and breathing in smoke, you can melt down HDPE plastic and turn it into all sorts of tools. It's not really easy to work with but it's really tough stuff.

From the reviews it sound more like a bomb to me...

Just turns the "wow" into an "enough!" :)I think with a dado blade/stack it would've taken a maximum of a few hours. I have no idea.

BTW another source for (flat) spring steel is anything that has a retractable cord. Like the retracting cord in some vacuum cleaners, and retractable usb cables. And the more the mechanism pulls on the cord, the stronger and thicker the steel is, the les resoistoance they should have - heat them up too much and they'll lose their springiness!

I think it could, you'll need to extend the length of the bit to do that. Maybe by screwing the bit to long(er) piece of wood and then clamping that piece to the vertical piece of wood, so you can adjust it.Metzuyan, da'agti la-kineret! :)

Nice twist on a common project! Did you try something like this for cutting the bottle in half, sideways? https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Gla... Turn the carbide bit 90 degrees.Also, does it tip over if you water it too much?
