LIJAR. TIPOS DE LIJAS Y LIJADORAS
Lijar significa alisar, pulir, abrillantar o limpiar algo mediante el frotamiento con un objeto abrasivo, generalmente una lija. El lijado es una tarea fundamental en cualquier trabajo de acabado (pintura, barniz, etc). Un buen acabado es imposible sin un perfecto lijado . Nosotros vamos a referirnos principalmente al lijado de la madera. El lijado se puede hacer a mano o con ayuda de maquinas eléctricas (lijadoras y taladros con acoples, principalmente). Como norma general, la madera debe lijarse siempre que se pueda en el sentido de la veta, primero con lija basta o media y acabando con lija muy fina.
Pintar significa cubrir con una capa de color una superficie o un objeto. Aunque pintar es algo muy sencillo, para obtener buenos y duraderos resultados, conviene tener en cuenta diferentes factores según la superficie a pintar.

this clever outdoor diy idea comes from erik anderson of gerardot & co.- a creative branding and design agency in indianapolis. erik was kind enough to share a fantastic project that turns an everyday bottle into a modern backyard tiki torch. i love the way these torches look and am dying to find a backyard to use these in- too bad the closest thing we have is a 2×2 foot fire escape. but for those of you with yards, i hope you’ll enjoy this project from erik. click here for more info on the project and click here to check out erik’s work at gerardot & co. thanks, erik!

paper star lantern tutorial
I suppose it isn't exactly the right time of year for stars and lanterns, but I've got a paper folding fascination at the moment and so was drawn to a project I had wanted to do back in Autumn. During last lantern season I was looking everywhere for instructions to make these beautiful paper lanterns and couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up purchasing a lantern that was already made and since I've been struggling with some difficult folds and designs of other paper crafts, I decided to unfold the seemingly simple lantern I bought and figure the thing out for myself. Like all traditional origami, no glue or cutting (once the basic outside shape of the paper is made) are required. I feared that once I unfolded my lovely store-bought version I wouldn't be able to get it back together but thankfully it wasn't nearly as difficult as I assumed.David A.

I'm a first year PhD student in Leah Buechley's group, High-Low Tech , at the MIT Media Lab. My research interest is the relationship between digital information and physical objects, applied to manufacturing, electronics, and programming. I want to create tools and examples that help people to design, build, and program electronic devices. Before coming to the Media Lab, I earned a master's in interaction design at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (Italy) and taught at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (Denmark). I'm one of the creators of Arduino , an open-source hardware and software platform for electronic prototyping.
7 Fun, Kid-Friendly Salad Recipes That Go Beyond Iceberg Lettuce
Looking for a fun way to encourage your kid to eat more veggies ? Try a few new, exciting salads – your kids will enjoy helping to prepare them and the whole family will savor them. Salads are a great food to get your child started cooking on his own, too. As long as you do the chopping first (though some salads don’t require any!)
My Desk
With all this talk about work schedules and approaches, I thought it would be fun to share some photos of my home office in progress. (See here for the story on my vintage office chairs.) Our loft has two long banks of windows. One is in our living area and the other is in our office/guest space (both these rooms are open to each other). I wanted the desk to basically run the length of the windows so an assistant could work there during the day and my husband at night.Downloads « DIYLILCNC

Hammer Time! Bike Trailer
I've always been fascinated by bamboo and when I decided to build a recumbent trike it seemed like the obvious material choice for me. Bamboo is beautiful, light, stronger than mild steel and renewable. It does present some challenges however, as culms or poles are not perfectly round, taper from end to end and remain flexible even when cured. So building a 3 dimensional trike frame required a lot of planning, trial & error, and some techniques to account for the variable size of the bamboo. This instructable will focus on the design and construction of the recumbent trike frame. Before building this trike, I had never built anything that moved or worked on bikes.
