I would suggest that you use an idea from candle making and putting the melting pot in water and heat the water. The wax will get hot enough to melt but not hot enough to catch fire.

FYI. Some of your links are no good or are not available here in the USA.

It's got to be nice to be able to start with a log and go through the entire process to end up with a finished piece of furniture, or whatever other project you have. Since you used whatever you had on hand, it must of cost you about $3.00! Love it!

I would suggest that you use a clear coat on your finished artwork. High humidity can cause the salt crystals to liquify.

Beautifully simple! Well done!

The caption reads "Wd40 Refill". How do you add the liquid part of the WD40 contents?

Hi, In the intro you said that you didn't know how to fix the upside down picture. In just about every picture viewer I've used there is a button or space that allows you to edit the picture. Open the picture in that viewer and select "edit". Among the things you can do to edit the picture should be a "rotate 90 degrees". Use that to rotate the picture until it is the way you want it.

How many times can 1 9 V battery recharge your cell phone?

How much power can you get?

Nicely done. You should enter it in the trash to treasure contest.

Sadly my creativity doesn't include this kind of art but I do like seeing it. I remember someone making a coffee mug in the form of levi jeans glazed in blue and everything. I love this kind of creativity. Just wish I had it.Please take care.please stay safe.

I like to use red cabbage and carrots. The purple cabbage turns red when it is around acid so it is its own indicator of when it is ready to eat. I like your instructable.

You misunderstood my question. How long does the setup pictured in your instructable produce electricity?

One thing you failed to mention: After the weight is raised, how long does the generator produce electricity before it hits the floor?

Just my 2 cents worth, (in todays inflated 2 cents). In step 6, when you insert the bolt that holds the lamp together, glue just the bolt head so that it doesn't move then use a wing nut instead of a nylon lock nut thus giving you better control of how firm the hold will be..As it is though, I agree with ivymaker, AMAZING!I want to try and make one myself.Thanks for posting.

Just curious. Is there a reason some of your pictures are upside down?

Usually I just spread the filter out flat on a plate so it dries flat one at a time. Hope it helps. Of course, if you are doing this out on the trail, you may have to be more creative about how you dry them.

What a lot of people don't know about coffee filters is that they are reusable. Just rinse off the coffee grounds and let it dry. I reuse mine ten or more times each. Saves money and landfills.

Years ago I did the same thing with two dowel rods cut to length. Used brass screws for the end contacts. Like you said, never needed to worry about batteries on that product again. Your instructable is the "New and Improved" version of the same idea. Loved it!

This brings back pleasant memories. For years I made waffle bread similar to this. I preferred whole wheat bread. The basic ingredients were Whole wheat flour, olive oil, dry milk and baking powder. Made into a pancake batter and poured into the waffle baker, I was able to make "slices" of bread for sandwiches or just eating with butter. It was good.Thanks for reminding me. I think I'll start making it again.

I'm not sure how much work it would be but one solution might be to remove the earth from the back of the dog dens and make a small door to hold the heater lights. Just open the door, with the heater attached and change the light. Then replace the earth that was there with an easily replaceable insulation of some sort and a weather proof cover. Again, I am not sure just how easy or hard it would be to do that but it was an idea that I had. Still a great project as is.

Very nice! Given the last image, are there more dog houses in your future?

I use them to make springs. Just wrap spring wire around the right sized drill bit and you have springs to what ever precision you need.

Do you have a recording of how it sounds you can share?

A beautiful work of art and an even more beautiful work of love. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I don't have a picture of it but years ago when I didn't have a coffee pot, this is how I made my coffee. It's simple clean and you can "improvise" a surprisingly good cup of coffee that way. Well done! You can also make a Coffee/Tea bag out of an old shirt cloth and reuse it over and over.

At the end of step one, you said something about having a blueprint to work off of. Did you make up your own or have a source? Could you share that for us please? I always wanted to try making one but didn't know where to start. You just gave me a hint. Thanks.

Years ago I had to make a solder repair and my soldering iron didn't work. I held a nail with a needle nosed pliers over a candle as an emergency soldering iron. I still can't get over how well it worked! From my own experience I can say this does work. Thanks for posting this for others who may need this info.

It's sad that this knife won't be used for its intended service. It is still a beautiful knife. I hope there are other ways to put this knife in service.

Great! I had another idea but if your fix works, Be happy, move forward! Leave it alone. I love your Instructable because it reminded me of some YOUTUBE videos of a similar process of making concrete planters but the planters were 4 and 5 feet in diameter. Similar process but the scrapers were mounted on a central post and went around the planter instead of your turn table arrangement. I live in an apartment so doing this would be a little awkward right now but I would like to try it some time. Thanks for a very informative Instructable.

To open flip a picture over, open the photo in an art program like GIMP or a paint program. In it, you should find various ways to manipulate the picture including flipping the picture sideways or up side down. That would be the simplest way to do it.

You guys should wear t-shirts that say "This DOES take rocket science!"

I noticed you mentioned a kit for starting a roof garden but you didn't show where you can get it. Where can you get it? Here in the American southwest there are a lot of flat roofs since there is no threat of snow. A lot of homes and industries could benefit from this idea.Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh well... I guess I'll have to ask around. Still this is a good idea that more people need to give serious thought to. Thanks for posting your beautiful roof garden.

Hi. I like your idea about making an electronic 8 Ball. Sadly I don't have the electronic hardware you have but I was able to make the equivalent formula in Excel. Columns A and B are written as is. The formula in C:1 is "=RANDBETWEEN(1,8)". I expanded D:1 to make it more readable but it is not necessary. The formula there is "=LOOKUP(C1,A1:A8,B1:B8)". C:2 is just an open cell with a number in it to trigger C:1's random number. Just double click C:2 and then click on any empty cell to "shake" the 8 BALL. Thanks for giving me something to play with for a while.Please take care.

OK, Now that it is made, for those that don't know, How do you fly it?
