Hey, the RCX bricks might be cheap on eBay and easier replaced than fixed, but many other battery powered devices are not as easy or cheap to replace. Also, it's better that you experiment on something that IS easy to replace, than experiment on something that would cost a small fortune to replace if the experiment permanently screwed it up. Thanks for doing the experimenting and sharing it. This knowledge will come in handy often.

Pretty Cool! I like it!! Two of my favorite fields also. Does the LED up front light up or anything?

When I was passing by this instructable on the browse page, it caught my attention and I wondered if a snake would prefer the smooth surface of the wood or something with a more natural surface; I was thinking a snake might prefer to "scratch itself" a little on a rough surface. So, I clicked on your instructable to ask you if you knew which and the first thing I found in the instructable is your link to your "Scratch Box" instructable. That's great idea! I'll bet your snake loves it!Anyways, does a snake prefer a smooth surfaced hide or a rough/natural surface for their hide? In case you're not sure, you could make one of each and see which she prefers to use. To be more fair, both type hides would need to be introduced at the same time, so familiarity doesn't ...

Well, thanks for sharing your instructables and ideas and listening to mine.

Way Cool!!

Great idea! I'm going to have to do that to mine.

I love seeing your make-up instructables. I like to see your creativity in action and I always look forward to what you're going do next. Just one thing, I don't see here... did you account for an "Adam's apple"? If you're going from girl to guy, you have to add an Adam's Apple.

It sure looks antique in the photos! I like it! Is the top warped? Or is that an optical illusion?

This is truly awesome!! It's an awesome idea! It's awesome in it's concept and in it's design! Thank you very much for sharing it!

Very clever idea. I like it. I hope you don't mind a couple of suggestions: I think it would look neater with a more complex design. Example: at minimum, reverse and repeat the current design, so there would be 2 lines crossing is swirls. Also, use some pencils could be set in at different angles to spread out their size, shape and effect., for some variety.Thanks for sharing you cool idea.

Dr. Who, the best TV show ever written!!!

Oh yeah, and great job on the TARDIS too!!

Thanks a bunch! I watched your YouTube video, so now I understand what a router plane is and how useful it can be. Thanks again for your instructable and the lesson in Router Planes. :-)

Very cool! Made with easily acquired parts. The original movie prop was made with a hard to find, vintage camera flash (the side camera mount kind) and the black stripe pieces of the handle were just pieces of a windshield wiper sliced up. It wouldn't be too hard to use windshield wipers in your project.

Good job on the table. I wish you'd have included a video of it working, I've never seen a DiwireCNC wire machine operate.

This is a very clever and cute idea! I like it!

Very clever and cute!!

Clever and cute!

The seat back storage access doors are unique and make good use of the space behind the seat backs. Nice job!

If you're going use them in a group, you should probably give everyone a different prisoner number. I was thinking if you used them to make custom coffee cups, the would be "mug" shots!

Nicely engineered! It's impressive what you can do with cardboard!

Wow! Even your tape measure is DeWALT!! I think you might have an obsession. :-)At first, I thought this might be the first commercially made instructable. Glad to see it's not. It did turn out real nice and I like the design!

This is awesome! You have great a talent! And it looks like lot's of fun!!

Did I miss them or shouldn't you have the rules of the game included? I haven't played this since I was a kid.

Great work! It looks like lot's of fun!

When I was a teenager, living in Colorado, my step-mother taught us to make "Snow Ice Cream". Ingredients: Snow, Milk, Vanilla Extract and Sugar. It was delicious. Much thinner than regular ice cream, but just as delicious.

Excellent carving skills! Cleverly creative idea! The word 'awesome' doesn't cut it.

This a really cool way to re-purpose an old radio. Have you considered putting the knobs to use and installing an MP3 player so it can play music again too?

This is really cool. I love the WWII Fighter Planes. With a slight modification to the wing shape this could easily be my favorite: the F-4AU Corsair. The spark plug already has the correct shape for the front end. All it would take is the wings to be bent into the "gull wing" shape, bent down a short distance and then back up.

Did you make more then one of these, to account for the different thread widths?

This is a great idea. You are exactly right: we have more junk than ever and we're more distracted than ever. So, this is a great idea and there's been many times, I could've used it.

I love clever ideas like this.

That's what my Dad, the carpenter taught me: to hit the point of the nail with a hammer first, to make it rip through the wood, instead of wedge through it. This would help prevent splitting.

I like it! It's funny how all these people have their own ideas for "short-cuts" to getting the bottle. First, where's their sense of humor? And second, why not just put the work into removing the nuts?It's a good idea, an evil one, but a good one! LOL! Thanks for sharing!

Very clever idea! I like it.

I recognize San Diego Bay and Mission Bay in the photo. It's what got my attention to review your instructable. Glad it did. They brought back memories (I used live in that area.) And it's a cool and helpful project you guys did! Thanks for sharing it!

But that's not true: Balloon speed does not equal Wind speed. The balloon gets all it's movement from the wind, but does not travel the perfectly with the wind. Isdubkov: you're talking about ground speed: GPS relative to ground locations.I was wondering too, how the wind speed was measured, since the balloon is not pushed perfectly by the wind. I wondered if there was an airspeed sensor on board. See: http://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/airspeed.html

Really awesome! Nice work. Do you have others you have done? If so, I'd love to see them too.

Should your video or this instructable include what a router plane does and something showing the one(s) you just made in action?

That was a great present idea! I like presents that are made by the person giving it to me. I like them more than gifts bought from a store or online. When you give a gift you made, you are also giving them the time you used to make it. Time is the most precious thing we have.Also, very nice that you made it Star Wars (especially since you don't like Star Wars), but he does!

That's Knight's in Satan's Service. :-)

Good job! The car looks great and is fast!

Ouch! That's punny. :-)

Neat idea!Just be careful not to poke an eye out with one of those leads. It would be easy for one or more them to be bent in the wrong direction and easy to miss as you were putting them on.

Great idea! Good thinking! But, if the bottom of the can is a little flexible so the can/saw shakes while you're using it, instead of hot glue, you could cut a disc of wood to place inside the can at the bottom. Or even better yet, use your saw to cut several pieces of plastic, wood or whatever and use those cut out pieces at the bottom of the can. Or just cut the can shorter. Or all of the above.Thanks for sharing this great idea!

Cool!

Thank you, iceng! And thank you for reading my instructable.I know what you mean. It's too bad we need hide stuff in the first place.

These are really neat. Nice work! Have you considered using pre-1965 quarters so you're working in solid silver? (Of course, those coins have a collector value that would be ruined if you cut them up.) Or you could purchase sheets of solid silver from a jewelry supplier or website.

Very handy, clean idea, but just a minor helpful comment... storing pens should be pointed down. The rule is: Pens Down, Pencils Up. This is so that the ink runs toward the tip, so they're ready for use. Pencils up, so that they don't grind on their points and have to be resharpened when you want to use them.

Pretty Cool! I like it!

You made me think of a good tip, when you mentioned putting a bottle of water in your sleeping bag... In stead of risking getting your bed wet, why not make a reverse ice chest? Use an ice chest to make a heat chest. You could put the bottled water and a hand warmer in the ice chest at night to keep it from freezing and maybe even having warm water for whatever.Thank for the neat instructable.

Thank you for the neat instructable and sharing the cool underwater pictures. They're pretty cool!

Very cool idea! Everybody loves the TARDIS so you'd need a lot!
