this is truly great, th anks for sharing!

thank you for this awesome instructable. I love the way you captured a process that is difficult to reproduce since no awfull alarm is made the same. You give so many universal options and tips to guide you through modding any machine, I feel I must give a short salute. Hooray!very funnily written as well. loek

Haha, thanks! It is one of the more important ones I think. Many instructables could benefit from such a step ;)

great setup! nice to use in classrooms too i guess!

Haha yes! phone camoflage!

wowsimply wow

very very nice! I like the fact you used stuff you had laying around versus expensive sliders and whatnot. Thanks for sharing!

still, very nice prototype and experiment. Thanks for showing us how!

great idea!

nice and honest instructable, thanks!

Great kite! well made and the trash inspires!

this is fantastic!

Thanks for sharing this! I think it is a great and intuition-making tool. Something to try as well; the matchbox chess learning machine. On Instructables already by Erik973 , as published in Martin Gardner's book of mathematics (which is a superb read). https://www.instructables.cAom/id/Matchbox-Mini-Ch...

Okay, good to know! Maybe i'll do this one ime as a childrens workshop.

sorry no, I drew it wrong. The instructible is correct I assume, using FPS pin 2.

sorry for the horrible drawing, but I hope this is of help.

great recipe, I used to make this all the time with a bit more ginger. Gives more power to a Moskow mule, hmmmmmm!

Maybe it can be customized to automatically shred any blue letters. (the Dutch tax agency uses only blue letters for correspondency).

Prachtig gedaan! But I see myself already; shredding junk mail and that one small letter from my love that was on the bottom of that pile.

nice idea and execution! thanks for sharing!

I could not help myself, I made another one. This time from piano wire and the result is less tunable but a very strange and lovely sweet sound. It looks a bit like a turned over woodlouse. For these thin tines (piano wire) it is advisable to really clamp them down, instead of using the above method. Here I used a metal bar with holes to screw down onto a hard wooden base. The whole thing is mounted into an old wooden drawer (because new drawers are too often made with that horrible particle board), which acts as a resonator. It is a bit similar to how Mbiras are mounted inside hollowed out gourds.

yes, and maybe the servo arm can pour you a coffee when the day breaks. :)

hey! very nice! the website of Dennis has inspired me too for quite some time. If you are ever in the Hague( assuming you are Dutch too), you are hereby invited in my atelier where I build instruments from trash. Simple instruments too like here https://www.instructables.com/id/Trash-Kalimba-Mus...cheers,Loek

what a superbly documented instructable! I love your instrument and especially how well you explain others how to make it. I have made lots of lamellophones, but this one is a gem!

very clever!

nice instructable and neat illustrations! thanks for sharing!

very. very cool

Here are some ridiculous ideas I got whilst reading this good and informative instructable: a solar tracker by means of a reduced gear cooking timer, Aluminium foil reflection panels to reflect more light to the panel and finally, burning your brand new USB solar charger with a giant fresnell lens. Hmmmm maybe had a bit too much coffee today

I think funkifying any part of your daily life is a great idea! Would it be possible to tiewrap a smaller kids bike rim to the existing wheel? This way you would not need to alter and possibly weaken the actual wheel. But I think the product Donald suggested (the weatherproof adafruit one) could be used in a simple way outside the rim too.let us know if you made something! Go funky!

that's exactly how I feel

It feels like too much honor!

wow Donald! This is great!

yes go for it!

But soldering is fun too right?? :)

a 220v touch switch sounds a bit more dangerous in my head than it probably is :)

nice, I love the simplicity of the electrical works. Since these LDR's vary quite a bit, would it be possible to add a variable resistor to both sides, so you can tweak the robot to go straight when light is equal?

neat trick! Please be careful when heating plastics though, the vapors can be toxic.

great tip!

GEWELDIG!

What kind of stell would you suggest is good to use?

wow! I can imagine this being a huge help for the less organized inclined (like myself). Thanks for sharing!

nice! Funnily written too! Thanks for sharing!

a very nice idea, sometimes you really want to learn the basics in a prototype-duct-taped-melted-plastic kind of way. Your instructable gave me a really nice insight by using the mouse in this way. Thanks for sharing!

very nice and a nice tribute to a great man

and another great origami instructable! Thanks for sharing these!

woooo way cool! Psssew psssew! Whooooowhoooo

Yes, that is a great idea! A phone dummy! A woodblock would do I think!

wow, really nice build and clear instructions! thanks for sharing!

this is great! But how do you play? Do you tilt the complete board or do you have to blow your marble with a straw?

thats a beautiful stand!

A membrane on the musical instrument called "the banjo". It is an instrument with African roots, possibly linked to the Akonting. Normally made from animal skins (although nowadays modern banjos are from plastics) you can easily make the skin from a very large PET bottle. Tack it down with a staple gun and heat it up and you've got yourself a taught membrane, ready to add some strings to.

they are beautiful!

wow! Really nicely done!!

Really nice and well documented! funny gifs ;)

simply put: fantastic! I love it! I don't care how impractical it may be, I want to build one!

Very very nice build Camille! I love the way you were able to give proper instructions and hints even though the build hinges so much on found materials. It looks like a very fun ride! thanks for sharing

very inventive and new spin on an old concept. Thanks for sharing! In this project is a lot of insperation to be gained!

why are the most impractical and seemingly useless inventions always the very best and coolest? I want one

interesting jig! thanks for sharing!

a stunning build! thanks for sharing!

best..bike... ever!

really cool, thanks for sharing!

haha this is a great idea!

very, very cute. They could be used as an empathy test ;)

very creative! You can even use plastic bottles to make banjo skins!

Great project! I love the siplicity and the reclaimed materials. Thank for sharing!

nice project! thanks for sharing!

good one!

This is a great build! I have always loved and used inner tubes to fasten things. Thanks for sharing this very elegant contraption.

Great! go for it! I string them up with washing line actually (it has a metal inner layer). Tuning is a lot of You could also make the frame from wood instead of metal. Let us know how it turned out!

Nice words Donald! I was actually thinking about making the bike-gamelan instructable first. But then I thought to start off smaller and with something with less specialized tools like a welding machine. I think I will still make the gamelan instructable too, hope to find some time before I travel through Europe for a while.

i think it is a splendid idea!

great hack!
