Thank you for this instrcutable. My garage is much smaller than yours, but it only had one garage light on a switch and one light on the garage door opener. Doing projects in my garage was always a bother because of the lack of light when I would be working on something at night.But I did change it up a bit with my LED strips. I ran three rows like in the I'ble, but the outer two strips were on the circuit for the light switch and the middle row was connected to the garage door opener. This way I had better lighting when the garage door opener was used, but when I need to get things done I have even more light. And instead of having light where the bulb were located, in the middle of the garage, I now have lights that span the entire area.Someone on here said that these lights wouldn...

I always hated the thick leather wallet, but what could I do?Thank you for getting me back into a thin and functional wallet without spending money. That compromise aught to make the missus happy.Than

Thank you for posting this Instructable. I recently developed plantar fasciitis and had to stop running, so I've been riding my bike and wanting to start working my upper body. Your design holds my 220+ weight without the bars bending or sounding like it's about to snap.

My third grade nephew didn't want to take my standard sawfish out on his own, so I had him ride with me. I'm a big guy, 220 lbs., and my nephew is probably 50 lbs. and I had at least an inch and half of the sides above water. I hope that helps.That being said, my young nephew used the paddles and was able to get us moving pretty quickly on the lake and the kayak did not take in any water.
You have made a beautiful surf board. I've followed the Instructable and made a couple of XPS kayaks that I love. An XPS surf board is intriguing to me as the waves on Lake Michigan (30 miles from me) can get pretty big.
