I am in love with this- - I'm sure you recall that I've done a tutorial on a DIY giant cheap picture - it's of my girls and still hangs in their room - looks just as good today as the day I posted about it: I love that picture and the project - the problem is that it is upstairs and in a bedroom, so most people who come into my home don't see it and it's fabulousness (unless I drag them up there to show it off - which I do occasionally). So when I redid my living/dining room, I knew I wanted to do a family picture, Giant Picture style. And it's awesome. First off, take a picture. Then, I printed it as an "engineer's print". The one of my girls I stuck onto a cheap piece of styrofoam. The board was bigger than the picture to create that border. I was lazy and only painted the edge, which you can see in this next picture.
At this point it looked pretty good, but a little plain: Have you made a Giant Picture yet?? Craft Ideas / wood pictures. Pic on wood & metal.

Dirkon - The Paper Camera. During the 1970s, magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. Very few good magazines were available and were difficult to get hold of, so people would borrow and exchange them when given the opportunity. This also applied to magazines aimed at young people, which was probably one of the reasons why almost everyone from my generation, when we get on to the subject of pinhole cameras, has fond memories of the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists].
Its creators, Martin Pilný, Mirek Kolář and Richard Vyškovský, came up with a functional pinhole camera made of stiff paper, designed for 35 mm film, which resembles a real camera. It may not be the most practical of devices, but it works! A few notes about the original instructions The instructions recommend using Foma 21° DIN film.

Last summer when Jim and I moved into the Retro Ranch and we set out on the quest for a queen sized mattress (our last house was only big enough for a full sized bed!)
We stumbled across a Barcelona Style chair in the scratch and dent section of the furniture store we were in. Now if you know anything about Barcelona Chairs you know that not only are they really cool, but they are also really expensive! So expensive in fact, that I would never be able to afford one unless I somehow won the lottery. (odds of that are slim to none) So when I saw the knock off Barcelona style chair-with hassock-in the scratch and dent area I was instantly excited. It wasn’t until I got home that I thought, “How the heck am I going to fix this?” I did some searching on the internet and found little to nothing about replacing the leather straps on a Barcelona chair. I did a bunch of research on saddle repair and even found a place to order the leather straps and punch tool for the repair job.

Solid wood bench/coffee table. DIY Platform Bed with Floating Nightstands. The first step in this, or any project, is to decide what you need and then acquire those things that you decided you needed.
I measured my mattress, made a rough game plan, and wrote out a list of the wood I thought I would need. I rethought this several times and made several trips to the Depot. The items used in the end for this project are as follows: Tools You don't need anything fancy for this project. -Table Saw -Miter Saw -Air Compressor with 18ga nail gun -Electric sander (mine is an orbital) -Tape measure -Carpenter's triangle (or whatever the crap it's called.

Made from a mixture of scrap and new lumber, this coffee table uses a DIY lamination method to create a solid surface from strips of wood without the need for heavy bar clamps. All of the strips are yellow pine except for one contrasting stripe of cedar running all the way through the structure. A series of strips runs 4" below the top surface as a brace and a shelf for magazines or laptops. Cover strips, with dowel plugs to cover the fasteners, make the edges smooth, concealing the thread rods that hold the strips together.

I enjoy relaxing on a sofa and in my bed, and so it may come as no surprise that I would wish to combine the two. After searching Ikea and several other shops, I found the average price for a "tri-fold" futon was in the region of 120GBP ($150). I found this pretty steep for what is basically some planks of pine and a mattress.
So I decided to make my own. Let me make this clear before I begin: This Instructable is only how to build the frame. This futon folds in three sections to give a comfortably wide (4ft) and long (6ft-ish) bed that could sleep two (if proximity is not an issue!). I am not a carpenter, crafstman or a great DIY-er, I didn't even take wood tech in school, so this instructable is very accessable. Shoji Screen Closet Doors. I wanted to replace my closet doors with something that fits more closely with the furniture I build and the renovations I've been doing on my house. I've always hated bypass doors on closets - they make a closet seem dark and cramped, they're a pain to use, and it always seems that what you want to get to is on the side where the doors currently are - so there's lots of sliding, fumbling, cussing, etc, etc.
I wanted some closet doors that were light, airy, and allowed full-access to the whole closet at one time - so I settled on bi-fold doors. Now, I know what you're saying "Bi-fold doors!? Are you kidding? " - to which I'd say, "Read on" - but first some disclaimers: Because each installation is fairly unique (your closets aren't going to be exactly the same size as mine) I won't be giving a detailed set of plans.

Chaise Lounge from scratch. Computer table. Last year my son needed a computer table. Anything found in shops could be divided into a) particle-board crap that would fall apart in few months or b) just plain inconveniet or c) outrageously expensive.
