Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 11:34AM Bench power supply built from an old ATX computer power supply. Outputs voltages of +12v, +5v, +3.3v and -12v using an arrangement of RCA connectors salvaged from a broken dvd player. Every project needs power and converting an ATX PSU is a cheap way to supply it.
Flickering LED Candle
Friday, April 27, 2012 at 9:18PM Convert a standard wax candle into a realistic flickering LED candle.

My goal was to preserve the look and smell of a traditional wax candle while overcoming their disadvantages.
Wine Cork Boards
Friday, April 20, 2012 at 2:49PM During a thorough clean of my shed that was formerly a storage unit, I discovered several bags of wine corks. Not wishing to return them to a dusty shelf, they were put to use. Cork boards were an obvious solution. They're practical, simple to make and look good.
PVC Pipe Clothes Rack
Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 10:07PM Build a durable dual rail clothes rack from PVC pipe, some MDF and assorted hardware store parts. My goal was to build something functional from readily available and cheap supplies. The clothes rack consists of a PVC frame attached to an MDF base using pipe saddles. This base will have swivel castors, allowing the rack to move around easily.
