Generator Bicycle. How would you or anyone you know like to generate their own electricity? How about generating enough electricity to accomplish a useful task like running a TV or a blender? Picture a party where people make their own frozen drinks. It is something most people never get a chance to try unless they happen to visit a science museum. This article will walk you through building the generator bicycle shown in Figure 1. We have used the bicycle for two years as a hands-on demonstration at the Chicks in Science Expo in Billings Montana.
Building a similar project might be of interest to a range of people. Building the bicycle will utilize a number of skills including electronics, bicycle maintenance, either woodworking or, preferably, welding, and maybe some metal working depending on the route you choose to progress.

Based on the experience with my previous apple grinder, I already knew this one would work.
Because I wanted to make a detailed set of plans available for this one, I carefully designed the whole thing in CAD before I cut any wood. I printed out a 1:1 side view of the apple grinder using my BigPrint program. I used a 1:1 template because I hadn't yet produced dimensioned drawings for the plans. So I just worked from the 1:1 template in the workshop. I cut up a thick board of white oak for the drum. Here I'm marking a circle on the end for cutting out the approximate shape on the bandsaw. I put the drum on its end on the bandsaw and cut it out. I had what seemed like a clever idea for final shaping the drum on the table saw. Oops! Shaping went well, but slowly, until disaster struck. I was startled but unharmed, but I had to make a new drum. So for the second drum, I went back to the method I used for my first apple grinder, although with things fixed a little better for added safety.

My friend Ben (previously) shot me a link to this article about carved coins called Hobo Nickels.
Although the history of carving miniature bas relief sculptures into coins stretches back to the 18th century if not earlier, it was greatly popularized in the early 20th century with the introduction of the Buffalo nickel. This particular coin was minted using soft metal and was imprinted with the portrait of an indian with bold features, making it easier to deface and transform into the portraits of other people, animals, or even scenery.
Add to that the idle hands of unemployed artists during the depression (thus, “hobo”) and soon a flood of curious numismatic treasures were born. Most of the images on hobo nickels are too folk artsy for my taste, however a number of artists etched away the flesh of the subject to reveal these awesomely macabre skulls. Hobo nickel carving remains a popular hobby today and it even has a society. Pekka Sandborg - Ragdoll. Cuppow - Turn a Canning jar into a Travel mug. Circlecycleice.com - Home. Fun with moss.

I am very pleased today to bring you a tutorial on how to work with my favorite-est crafting material of all: I've been working with cardboard even longer than I've been sewing and working with fabric.
One of my most-used toys as a kid was a roll of scotch tape, with which I assembled all kinds of structures with found objects around the house. Whenever we had access to cardboard, which wasn't as often as I wished, and certainly nowhere as often as I have now, I was practically in heaven. 3D Painting: Riusuke Fukahori, Almost Like a Human Makerbot. This is nuts, and a little hard to understand at first: Japanese painter Riusuke Fukahori paints what appear to be three-dimensional fish floating in water.
And while the objects he's creating are in fact three-dimensional, he builds them up two-dimensionally, creating successive layers that he seals in resin before adding the next layer on top of the last. The end result is what you see in the photos here (captured by photographer Dominic Alves at Fukahori's recent show at London's ICN Gallery), and the first half of the video below shows Fukahori's process. (The second half is Fukahori working on a more conventional large-scale painting.) Age test. PosteRazor - Make your own poster!
