Oooh, you have to cut the chestnuts first!?!?!? How do they do roasting in Japan and China where they don't cut the chestnuts?

How absolutely coincidental! An artist was moving and one of the tools he gave me was a dremel set! I can use this one specifically for carving stones. Excellent!

I LOVE this! Congrats, too! I used to do something similar for ceramics, and we also mix pulp paper into clay to make it lighter but still sturdy. Can also add some color into cement for some additional fun.This is brilliant. Thank you.

I have one of those with the "universal joint" but for some reason, it's just not universal enough and I can never quite get them to bend to the angle I need. This design is WAY easier to use AND comes with a light I can move! Bravo! Thank you for posting this.

I agree since I went to UC-Berkeley! Go Bears! Great build!

You had me at Chesnuts! I now have to make one as I usually either burn the chesnuts or undercook them. Steaming doesn't work too well though it does keep them moist - but is horrible to peel. If I could vote twice, you'd get both my votes!

Impressive build from scratch and from thought to reality. I found it amusing to see the trampoline springs start with four of them and end up with (18) of them! That certainly says something about the vibrations. As for the welding - yeah, aluminum welding isn't as easy as steel. Plus, to make it more "beautiful" you can grind down and smooth the rough joins. Super neat project here!

This is great - and so do-able! I've been trying to build a timelapse slider - but mine only goes in a straight line.Awww, but how come you burned up the bunny?

Because. Just because! Ha ha - isn't it the same reason you're reading this. Out of curiosity and tickle the mind?

Would you mind posting the DXF files you used for the laser cutting?

What are the two black only pictures meant to be at the end of Step 4?

Super, Leslie! What have you patented so far? From the workshops I'd attended it sounded like a lot of paperwork - especially in the research and background finding. I'm a designer - I just want to design, test and revise. I don't want to do other stuff like paperwork. "C)

AH, that is certainly for sure, Greg. It's hard enough publishing something - and folks can choose NOT to read it - move onward, etc. Glad you're a reflective and creative sort anyway!

Ah, yah, that could work too. Go with a random amount within the range of the opening!

I wonder instead of the cover raising up the same level each time - albeit slowly - have a crankshaft with various levels the cover can open - unpredictable! I love the lights and the roughness of the Ol' Book!

So cool that you can just make this and not spend a ton of money for a simple one off the shelf. I've always wanted one to stir my soups - and remembered we used to use one with the Bunsen burner while heating a solution. The 3D printing might not work so well with that situation, but good on you for coming up with this!

Oh, just begin producing it. It's such a "low cost" item (versus electronic-ware), and there's probably enough difference between already in market ones from the ones you make. Skip patents unless they're for high-end / high-cost items

Gosh, I've had my Dremel tool since forever and I can't believe I didn't try carving a stone! Good for you and you created a beautiful design on such a small object. I've watched others carve larger stones (like soapstone, jade, quartz) and sometimes they use a vice but then, the stones were WAY larger (about 6"-12") and the tools used were way larger, too. I'm going to have to try this now!

Adorable and so fun to make! Anything with magnets, lights, and movement - a sure winner

What a snarky comment! What happened with "be nice?" I think it's a worthy 'ible.

It'd be the PERFECT reason to come to the US - buy a crate of them, and sell them to other on that side of the Pond! Hahahaha!

Really easily understandable instructable. And thank you to the others who contributed to my knowledge now for tapping and quenching!

Um, OK. No worries. Was this meant to go to me?

How fun and I like how it walks a bit lop-sided, too!

Wow, that'd be one LARGE bug!

Cool timer for a base!

You had me at cardboard! I love how simple and efficient this works! Definitely saving it for the STEAM camps!

I love the design! Your work is meticulous.Isn't it acetone that dissolves the styrofoam? Would be easier than manually removing it bit by round bead bit.

How'd you photo the room 360? The questions are great! I wonder if you could "link" an answer to another hint's question.

Ah, yah. I tend to skip videos, really cool results!

What a great idea! I've been staying up late with Escape Room on my iPhone - till I get tired and then I can go to sleep knowing I solved at least SOMEthing that day! Ha haha! The topic-specific themes help for context, as well as ideas. Besides academia, I was thinking along the lines of (Un)Common Sense and Practical Matters. The collaboration would be like a Thomas Edison of knowledge! Message me direcctly and let's talk!

Cool idea! My brother does a Challenge each year at Thanksgiving - I think this would be a fun idea to use for that.

What a large project and so well explained. I can see the nest becoming a peapod, with green peas for pillows; or a soup bowl with noodle pillows!

Oh, shoot! Now I'm hungry! These are the cutest small apple fritters I've ever seen.

Definitely the smallest CNC I've ever seen! Any samples of works?

I'd draft the sides a bit so the part could come out easier than with straight sides. Any undercut would make removing anything difficult. A draft angle of 2 degrees would work.

Oh, man, where were you when I had (7) tons of gravel to level?!?!?! This is one great build-able.

I LOVE Escape Room Challenges - and wish there were more around! Good for you to get the students involved in thinking out of the box (classroom)!

It'd be neat if you added some audio and when you faced the mirror, it'd say, "Hello, Daniel. What can I do for you?" Ha ha ha!

Such a simple tool, and yet, so useful! Thank you for posting.

This is quite similar to the Cheese Press I made!

Ha ha ha! Bowling balls! OMG - that would definitely be a build I have to see!
