Hi and thanks for this inspiring video. I shall send it to my son who is decorating his new flat. Maybe you could simply double the shower curtain (the one that you use to diffuse the light). You wouldn't need to undo the whole structure, just mark the shape of the moon onto a new curtain, cut it out and press it onto the old one using tiny pieces of sticky transparent stamp-collector tape around the edge or something like that.

So clever, using the tubes to make rings! That's lateral thinking for you!

Great instructable: I shall make a pair for my sister who lives in Bonnie Scotand (Sconnie Botland)!

As you omitted the apostrophe in "husbands" I at first thought you'd lost your husbands in the garden! Very clumsy lady, I thought, then I imagined you scraping around the garden, following the YakTrak prints of your husbands in the snow, probably in some American cult, where you can marry two men...? The mind boggles, then I realized you'd just lost one of your husband's crampons.

Thanks! My mum used to propagate all sorts of plants, and very quickly too. Her "trick"?: she always cut the leaves with very little or no stems attached, and placed them in twos, one facing the other, in warm compost that she kept moist and sunlit.The "twosomes" grew roots very quickly, and she said they liked to be with siblings!

Thanks for the great advice. I didn't realize vinegar was so good at removing rust, you just need patience!

Very simple, VERY² useful, and already verified. THANKS!!! I'll make mine now. In France you have to PAY if you want a credit card with no RFID, and thieves in busy streets or trains with RFID readers can pick up all the info they need just by honing in on your card in your bag or pocket. I bought myself a protection case (15,00€!!) but it was basically made of plastic and the hinges broke, the separators sliced off within weeks, and my cards fell out...

What about mixing some iridescent transparent nail polish in acetone and pouring it over the glass? Might work...

THANK YOU!!! I am amazed; I've always loved iridescence, which is why I love moonstones and opals, but can't afford them! I'm going to start with nail-polishing my fingernails black, then delicately bringing them up under a film of transparent nail polish on water, see what results from this. I might go crazy trying out the process on all sorts of things, so somebody keep an eye on me please....

My cat Whisper would love the switch-box at the end. ALL cats love apparently autonomous machines like printers, ejection mechanisms like VHS and DVD ejects, even the toast popping up...thanks for your lateral thinking, Dr Bono

Thanks for the picture of the finished table! It's amazing!

The contrasting effect of the two woods is heightened by the different angles that come from the piece having oblique, rounded sides. The same way that veined wood is attractive in rounded shapes. Lovely work!

Wonderful but I'd have loved to see an overall photo of the table!!!

THANKS FOR THE COMPULSIVE VIDEO! Can't stop watching it, and I love the stools. Might do that with a couple of painted tyres we leave in the Repair café for the kids benefiting adults bring with them to play with (but never notice). .

I guess the main factor in the experiment comes from the few drops of coca cola left in the cans. (Joke) Thanks for the sharing!

This is something to admire! Most people would just use only the first few inches of the drawer and go on secretly swearing at the original designer! Congratulations, if only for the determination, but also for the great work.

I really enjoyed this video, thank you!!!

This welding process often makes the joint very fragile: you have to make sure the welding iron is very hot or the join can be superficial and come apart at the slightest pressure. Thanks for sharing!

Use a soft pencil (more than 2B) to scratch graphite along the outside and inside of metal zip fasteners. It makes them open and close smoothly. It might work on nylon zips but I've never yet tried it.

I don't do any sawing (had too many babies and cats around me for ever?) but one day I'll try that out with plywood cut professionally - it's not as dear as it sounds, and I DO use planes and sandpaper, and lots of elbow grease! Great project, thanks!

Thanks for your answer. Great!

Hi Tody. I'm impressed by your saw skills - I've never dared to use a revolving saw and just use a vice and a hand saw. Having kids around the house didn't help either. But I'll try out your great kitchen lamp anyway. I love the plant pot-lampshade idea and from now on I'll be looking around for lamp shaPes to make lampshaDes! Just one question: What happened to the nut, bolt and electric wire under the base? Did you level them out with a hole in an extra base underneath? Thanks!

While I'm "sitting in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours", what do I do with my dough? :-)

Simple but effective. Wet newspaper is surprisingly strong. Thanks; danke.

Great idea!

It isn't more efficient but it's certainly more of a fun way to keep your shoes, and prettier, and looks purpose-built, not just shelves diverted to the purpose.

Thanks for sharing; I love your idea. I once used fabric tubes thrown out from a material shop to make a 1.8m standing lamp holder by gluing 12 different lengths of them together. (Get the idea?) However The hot glue only glues the surface of your big shoe-tubes so I think I'd prefer to add a couple of nuts and bolts for each join, if only for the 12 joins around the outside maybe?. Especially if you're like my family: we have dozens of shoes and keep them all until the soles fall off (literally!)

That is some prank!!! Thanks!!!

That's great to know, thanks Monica !

Thanks, good idea, then I get the "real" prduct!

Thank you! A link, too!

JPsW actually mentionned this in his introduction: you'll need to reverse the photo electronically beforehand. But a landscape would be lovely in reverse!

What is Mod Podge? I'll need a description of it to buy its equivalent in France. Is it a kind of painter's varnish? What is it based on? Thanks for the great instructable!

Lovely inside and outside!!!

This is a lovely piece of garden furniture. Well done!

I see now, and I am rightly corrected! Thanks! I love the idea and the way it is exposed.

Thanks for helping me to understand. In fact it works exactly like the new French system in recent blocks of flats, but unfortunately not all of them!

That is brilliant. You're lucky to live in America where you can get those DIY products, and clever to try your hand with them successfully. In France we can find little sinks on top of toilets in the most recent flats and houses: their use is upside down to yours; you wash your hands and the soapy water is collected in the tank ready for flushing with. Same difference, but this way you don't get the hesitations about using water that has sat in the actual TANK for some time (I agree this water is clean, but somehow I understand people's hesitations. These may come from the fact that there are blue salt lumps you can place in the tank...? The closeness of the tank water to the drain...? The fact that people don't clean the inside of the tank...? Anyway, thanks for that!!!

I think it's the other way around: the tank water is syphoned UP into the tap then dropped back into the tank after washing your hands. This is why the creator spoke about his friends hesitating about using water "from the toilet tank" which is understandable (the hesitating) though unjustified. I guess the hesitation comes from not being able to wash the insides of the toilet tank, and the fact that the inside of a toilet tank is matt, so easily invaded by germs, and not available for daily cleaning...

Your humour is great and the work is fabulous. You get my vote.

Wow! of course! So that's why the holes had to be twice the diameter of the strings! I was too lazy to work it out for myself. Thanks! Any others?

Bravo!

I love this tip. It's very professional and attractive. As soon as I get all the ingredients I shall try this!
