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.

zenstoves.net is a good source of information on all sorts of camp stoves, including templates for making various kinds of stoves from wood burning to alcohol.

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!"

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.

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.

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?
